BACKGROUND: Information regarding suitability for subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S- @entity1479 ) implant in @entity215 ( @entity215 ) population is scarce and needs to be further explored. THE AIMS OF OUR STUDY WERE: (1) to determine the proportion of @entity1 with @entity215 eligible for S- @entity1479 , (2) to identify the optimal sensing vector in @entity215 @entity1 , (3) to test specifically the eligibility for S- @entity1479 with right-sided screening, and (4) to compare with the proportion of eligible @entity1 in a nonselected @entity1479 population. METHODS: We recruited 60 consecutive @entity1 with @entity215 and 40 consecutive nonselected @entity1 . Conventional electrocardiographic screening was performed as usual. Right-sided alternative screening was studied by positioning the left arm and right arm electrodes 1 cm right lateral to the xiphoid midline. The Boston Scientific electrocardiogram (ECG) screening tool was utilized. RESULTS: We found a higher proportion of @entity1 with right-sided positive screening in comparison with standard screening (77    0.4% vs. 67    0.4%; P < 0.0001) and a trend to higher number of appropriate leads in right-sided screening (1.3    1 vs. 1.1    1 ms; P = 0.07). @entity1 who failed the screening had a longer QRS duration and longer QT interval. Standard and right-sided screening showed a higher percent of positive @entity1 in the control group compared to @entity215 @entity1 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Right-sided screening was associated with a significant 10% increase in S- @entity1479 eligibility in @entity215 @entity1 . When comparing with an acquired @entity296 group, @entity215 showed a lower eligibility for S- @entity1479 . The most appropriate ECG vector was the alternate vector in contrast to what is observed in the general population.
