Austrian Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator Registry

September 13, 2021 updated by: Scherr Daniel, MD, Medical University of Graz

Indications for and Experience With the Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) - Austrian WCD Registry

Background: The wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is an established treatment option for patients at high risk for ventricular tachycardia / ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF), either in whom this risk may only be temporarily present, or in patients at high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) or after VT/VF in whom an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD is currently not possible for other reasons (infection, recent MI <40days, recent PCI/CABG < 3months etc.).

Methods: Comprehensive registry including all patients in Austria who received a WCD in 2010-2016.
