TroponinT After Subcutaneous Cardioverter-Defibrillator Implantation

Register About Change of hsTROPoninT After Implantation of a Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator

Serum Troponin levels pre- and postoperatively will be compared in patients receiving an entirely subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillator.

To analyze the periprocedural myocardial damage the pre- and postoperative assessment of serum levels of high sensitive TroponinT (hsTnT) is done. The main objectives of the TROPIC register are to evaluate the level of high sensitive TroponinT before and after S-ICD device implantation and to compare these changes in TroponinT-levels with those after standard transvenous ICD-implantation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Indication for the implantation of an entirely subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillator

Exclusion Criteria:

• None
