This is an observational study looking at the outcomes of patients who receive an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in an Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC). An ICD is a small device placed in your chest or abdomen that helps regulate your heartbeat if you have an arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). This study aims to understand how often serious problems or side effects occur with these devices, and to see if having the procedure in an ASC is efficient for both patients and doctors in terms of cost and time. You may be able to join if your doctor recommends you receive an ICD in an ASC. The study will consider the implantation successful if there are no serious complications or adverse events at a two-week follow-up.

Study design

This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information about patients who are already receiving care, rather than assigning treatments. It aims to enroll 500 participants.

What's involved

You would have data collected at the time of screening, during the implant procedure, and at a wound check two weeks after the implant.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for two weeks after the implant for a wound check.
