Abstract
The article discusses the study "Early ICD Lead Failure in Defibrillator Systems With Multiple Leads via Cephalic Access," by C. R. Barbhaiya, O. Niazi, J. Bostrom and colleagues, that was published within the issue. Topics covered include implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy, risk factors for premature lead failure, and durability and reliability of the Biotronik Linox, Sprint Quattro, Durata, and Endotak ICD leads.
