[Polish single-center follow-up of S-ICD systems implanted for the prevention of sudden cardiac death].

CONCLUSIONS: S-ICD, being an effective and safe method used to treat patients at risk of sudden cardiac death, may be safely and successfully introduced into clinical practice in centers new to that field. The number of complications during the initial experience and introduction of that method may be kept low, if only the operating team is experienced enough in cardiac electrotherapy.
