About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to follow all patients implanted with extravascular implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (EV-ICDs) in Belgium throughout the lifetime of the devices. The main goal of the study is to keep track of:
* all parameters of the device * complications * arrhythmia detection and therapy delivery * clinical endpoints (quality of life, cardiac and infectious events) Participants who underwent or will undergo an EV-ICD implantation as part of their regular medical care will be asked if data can be collected from their medical record. No additional tasks are required for the study.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of delivered therapies (ATP and shocks)
Total number of therapies delivered by the device, including antitachycardia pacing and shocks (Unit: count)
Proportion of delivered therapies that were appropriate
Percentage of therapies delivered by the device that were adjudicated as appropriate (i.e., delivered for true ventricular arrhythmia).
Proportion of delivered therapies that were successful
Percentage of therapies delivered by the device that successfully terminated the targeted ventricular arrhythmia.
Tracking procedural and device-related complications
Tracking procedural and device-related complications during the lifetime of the device
Secondary outcomes
Change in sensing amplitude over time
Change in device-recorded sensing amplitude (in mV) from implantation to follow-up visits.
Change in pacing threshold over time
Change in pacing threshold (in Volt) measured during device follow-up from implantation to 15 years.
Change in lead impedance over time
Change in lead impedance (in Ohm) from implantation to 15 years of follow-up.
Change in battery longevity estimates over time
Change in estimated battery longevity (in years) as reported by the device at each follow-up visit.
