Lead fractures in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients may cause inappropriate shocks (ISs). An early diagnosis is essential to prevent adverse clinical events. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator remote monitoring (RM) permits prompt detection of lead fracture. Limited data define the impact of RM on ISs specifically related to lead fracture. We sought to compare the number of ISs related to lead fracture in patients with vs. without RM follow-up.
