The LifeVest is a new treatment option for patients who are at high risk for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or sudden cardiac death (SCD). Potential patient groups who may benefit from the LifeVest technology include:

• Post-Myocardial Infarction (MI) patients with complications
• Cardiac surgery patients with complications
• Heart-transplant waiting list patients
• Advanced heart-failure patients
• Patients undergoing drug loading with potentially pro-arrhythmic medications
• Patients who need an ICD, but have a condition that prevents or delays surgery (such as an infected ICD pocket)
• Patients who simply do not want to undergo surgery or have an implant
