Patient ‐reported quality of life and acceptance of the extravascular implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator: Results from pivotal study

ConclusionThe initial PROs for EV ICD patients indicated that patients had improvements in physical QOL from baseline to 6-month follow-up and markedly better overall acceptance of their ICD compared to a previous study with S-ICD and TV-ICD data. These initial results suggest that the EV ICD is evaluated positively by patients.
