Funding Amount
$404,135.00
Summary
The main cause of death among renal failure patients starting dialysis is from fatal heart rhythms leading to sudden death, preventable with defibrillators. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the new less invasive defibrillators placed placed just under the skin.
