3 The end of pre-implant subcutaneous ICD screening? Using mathematical vector rotation to generate a personalised sensing vector resulting in universal device eligibility

Introduction: Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) eligibility is determined by QRST morphology across three sensing vectors; primary (P), secondary (S) and alternate (A), with small R:T ratios conferring an unacceptable risk of T wave over sensing.
