Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to compare, three months after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D), the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) obtained from conventional in-lab NPSG/NPG (AHIPSG) with similar indices obtained from autoscoring algorithms of the ApneaScan™, an implantable impedance-based respiration sensor (AHIAS).

Detailed description

This is a prospective, multi center, phase-IV with blinded analysis and central reading of polysomnography trial. The study is performed in patients with a standard CRT-D or Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) devices indication. A total of 160 subjects will be recruited in France. The study duration is 03 months for each subject.
