About this research study
If you have an implanted S-ICD (subcutaneous defibrillator) and you engage in recreational or competitive sports, you are invited to participate in The Sport S-ICD Study. This study is open to international participation!
Published data suggests that participation in sports activities is safe for patients with an implanted defibrillator. However, these data were collected for patients with implanted transvenous–ICDs. Therefore, little is known about the safety of sports with an S-ICD.
The Sports S-ICD Study is an international multicenter registry collecting information about the safety of sports for patients with an implanted S-ICD.
If you have an implanted S-ICD, you exercise regularly and you would like to receive additional information about study participation, please fill out the form below.
