The Sprint FidelisTM ICD lead has a higher than expected incidence of conductor fractures. Their identification is important to prevent inappropriate shocks. The Sensing Integrity CounterTM (SIC), which stores the cumulative number of nonphysiologically short ventricular intervals ≤ 130 ms, is a diagnostic feature designed to enhance early identification of lead failures. Values greater than 300 are abnormal.

Abstract
The Sprint FidelisTM ICD lead has a higher than expected incidence of conductor fractures. Their identification is important to prevent inappropriate shocks. The Sensing Integrity CounterTM (SIC), which stores the cumulative number of nonphysiologically short ventricular intervals ≤ 130 ms, is a diagnostic feature designed to enhance early identification of lead failures. Values greater than 300 are abnormal.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
