Routine DFT testing in patients undergoing ICD implantation does not improve mortality: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Abstract Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing has been an integral part of implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) implantation to confirm appropriate sensing of ventricular fibrillation and to establish an adequate safety margin for defibrillation. However, there is a lack of evidence regard...
