S-ICD 10 defibrillator EFFORTLESS registry results published in European Heart Journal - Boston Scientific

Real-world data on the Boston Scientific Corporation S-ICD System (Subcutaneous Implantable Defibrillator) are highlighted online in the European Heart Journal. The interim analysis of the ongoing EFFORTLESS S-ICD registry, which evaluated 456 patients with a mean follow-up of 558 days, is the first real world study to date and confirms the clinical benefits of the S-ICD System in a broad range of patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
