Exclusion criteria

* Patient is unwilling or unable to personally provide Informed Consent. * Patient has indications for bradycardia pacing \[iii\] or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) \[iv\] (Class I, IIa, or IIb indication). * Patient with an existing pacemaker, ICD, or CRT device implant or leads. * Patients with these medical interventions are excluded from participation in the study: * Prior sternotomy * Any prior medical condition or procedure that leads to adhesions in the anterior mediastinal space (i.e., prior mediastinal instrumentation, mediastinitis) * Prior abdominal surgery in the epigastric region * Planned sternotomy * Prior chest radiotherapy Or any other prior/planned medical intervention not listed that precludes their participation in the opinion of the Investigator. * Patient has previous pericarditis that: * Was chronic and recurrent, or * Resulted in pericardial effusion \[v\], or * Resulted in pericardial thickening or calcification \[vi\]. * Patients with these medical conditions or anatomies are excluded from participation in the study: * Hiatal hernia that distorts mediastinal anatomy * Marked sternal abnormality (e.g., pectus excavatum) * Decompensated heart failure * COPD with oxygen dependence * Gross hepatosplenomegaly Or any other known medical condition or anatomy type not listed that precludes their participation in the opinion of the Investigator. * Patients with a medical condition that precludes them from undergoing defibrillation testing: * Severe aortic stenosis * Intracardiac LA or LV thrombus * Severe proximal three-vessel or left main coronary artery disease without revascularization * Hemodynamic instability * Unstable angina * Recent stroke or transient ischemic attack (within the last 6 months) * Known inadequate external defibrillation * LVEF \<20% * LVEDD \>70 mm Or any other known medical condition not listed that precludes their participation in the opinion of the Investigator. * Patient with any evidence of active infection or undergoing treatment for an infection. * Patient is contraindicated from temporary suspension of oral/systemic anticoagulation * Patient with current implantation of neurostimulator or any other chronically implanted device that delivers current in the body. * Patient meets ACC/AHA/HRS or ESC clinical guideline Class III criteria for an ICD (e.g., life expectancy of less than 12 months). * Patient is enrolled or planning to enroll in a concurrent clinical study that may confound the results of this study, without documented pre-approval from a Medtronic study manager. * Patient with any

Design outcomes

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety Outcome - Freedom From Major Complications Related to the EV ICD System and/or Procedure at 2 Weeks Post-implant2 weeks (14 days) post-implantThe endpoint is defined as a subject's first occurrence of a major complication related to the EV ICD System and/or procedure, as determined by an independent Clinical Events Committee (CEC), that occurs on or prior to 2 weeks (14 days) post-implant.
Efficacy Outcome - Defibrillation Efficacy at Implant of the EV ICD SystemAt ImplantEach subject will demonstrate a successful defibrillation outcome if either 2 successive induced ventricular fibrillation episodes are terminated by the subject's device delivering a shock at the required energy level, or if one such episode is successfully terminated by the subject's device delivering a shock at a lower energy level. Up to 6 such episodes may be induced to test device efficacy.

Efficacy Outcome - Defibrillation Efficacy at Implant of the EV ICD System

Each subject will demonstrate a successful defibrillation outcome if either 2 successive induced ventricular fibrillation episodes are terminated by the subject's device delivering a shock at the required energy level, or if one such episode is successfully terminated by the subject's device delivering a shock at a lower energy level. Up to 6 such episodes may be induced to test device efficacy.
