Abstract

The PRAETORIAN score was developed to predict the defibrillation success of the subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD), based on anatomical device position on a chest X-ray, as an alternative to defibrillation testing (DFT). Although only retrospectively validated, the score is currently being used in both research and clinical practice. The prospective randomized PRAETORIAN-DFT trial investigates whether the PRAETORIAN score is non-inferior to the DFT in regard to predicting first shock efficacy. The current analysis is the first prospective validation of the PRAETORIAN score for defibrillation success in induced ventricular arrhythmias.
