Abstract
The discussed paper is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the studies concerning the inappropriate shocks (ISs) in single-chamber and subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICDs). Based on the analysis of 16 selected articles, 6.4% of patients received an IS per year. Meta-regression analyses demonstrated that IS rates were lower in more recent studies and with longer follow-up. Use of S-ICDs and ventricular tachycardia zone programmed on did not significantly increase the risk of ISs. One of the studies showed markedly reduced annual ISs rate (1.9%).
