Defibrillation Threshold Testing After ICD Implantation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
We did not demonstrate a correlation between CKD and increased DFT or an increased rate of inadequate defibrillation safety margin. DFT testing is feasible with a low risk of serious complications in patients with moderate and advanced CKD when clinically deemed necessary. DFT testing is not routinely required in patients with (advanced) CKD.
