Tachyarrhythmia

When a newborn is diagnosed with tachyarrhythmia, they are generally started on medical therapies, most commonly a beta-blocker, while being observed in an inpatient setting. In most academic institutions, current practice is to provide parental teaching on use of a stethoscope to auscultate their child when there is suspicion for distress, in addition to requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) classes. Fortunately, newer technologies have emerged that allow for capture of cardiac rhythm that may provide a buffer between the infant and the emergency room.

The CorSky family is BIOTRONIK´s new generation of ICDs. They are the successor devices of the current Acticor/Rivacor family and inherit all iShock/iShock\_BC (Ilivia Neo, Intica Neo) implant and programmer software features. The new features of CorSky Family are either true novel BIOTRONIK ICD features or mainly driven by unification with the Amvia pacemaker family (Amvia Edge, -Sky). The goal of the study is to confirm the safety and performance of the CorSky Family of ICDs and CRT-Ds.
