Popis: Background In this study we aimed to assess long-term outcomes in subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) recipients with structural heart disease by focussing especially on shock incidence, predictors, and associated prognoses. Methods In this multicenter registry‒based study, we retrospectively included all patients who underwent S-ICD implantation at 3 tertiary centers. The prognostic impact of S-ICD shock was assessed with a composite outcome that included all-cause death and hospitalisation for heart failure. Results A total of 351 patients with underlying cardiomyopathy were included in the investigation. Using multivariable Fine and Gray regression models, secondary prevention, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), conditional shock threshold, and QRS duration appeared to be independent predictors of appropriate S-ICD shock occurrence. In the multivariate Cox regression model adjusted for age, baseline LVEF, underlying cardiomyopathy subtype, New York Heart Association class, and appropriate shocks were significantly associated with increased composite prognostic outcome risk (hazard ratio [HR], 2.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-5.65; P = 0.014), whereas inappropriate shocks were not (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 0.75-4.48; P = 0.18). The analysis of each component of the composite prognostic outcome highlighted that the occurrence of appropriate shocks was associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation for heart failure (HR, 3.10; 95% CI, 1.26-7.58; P = 0.013) and a trend for mortality (HR, 2.19; 95% CI, 0.78-6.16; P = 0.14). Conclusions Appropriate S-ICD shocks were associated with a 3-fold increase in acute heart failure admission, whereas inappropriate shocks were not. Conditional shock threshold programming is an independent predictor of S-ICD shock, and its prognostic impact should be investigated further in patients with structural heart disease.
