Foreword

Sudden cardiac death is a potentially fatal clinical event that accounts for almost 325,000 annual deaths in the United States of America. It demands the use of emergency defibrillation. Thus, the development of devices such as implantable or wearable cardioverter defibrillators (WCD) has been paramount for decreasing mortality for sudden cardiac death in patients with different types of cardiac disease.
