The eligibility of complex congenital heart disease (C-CHD) patients for subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) has yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to determine in C-CHD patients: (i) the S-ICD eligibility, (ii) the most effective sensing vector, (iii) the impact of posture change on screening eligibility, and (iv) the impact of using two vs. six postures for screening. Adults with structurally normal hearts were used as controls.
