The recently developed second-generation subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) and the intermuscular two-incision implantation technique demonstrate potential favorable features that reduce inappropriate shocks complications. However, data concerning large patient populations are lacking. aim of this multicentre prospective study was to evaluate safety outcome S-ICD using in a population study.
