Multivariate analysis identified taller patients, primary sensing vector and first-generation S-ICD device as predictors for IAS. SMART pass effectively reduced the occurrence of IAS in the second-generation S-ICD system. CONCLUSION Inappropriate therapies are less frequently observed on the alternate vector. The primary vector seems to be unfavourable with regard to oversensing caused by myopotentials. Inappropriate shocks were associated with an increased rate of rehospitalization but not mortality. These observations have implications for the prevention of inappropriate S-ICD shocks. Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology. All rights reserved. © The Author(s) 2020.

Methods In an unbiased approach, a membrane-based protein array was carried out to determine the level of expression of pro- and anti-angiogenic molecules in uninfected and HSV-1 infected corneas. Quantitative RT-PCR and ELISA assays were performed to measure the amounts of IGFBP-3 at mRNA and protein levels. Confocal microscopy documented the localization of IGFBP-3 in uninfected and infected corneal tissue. Flow cytometry assay showed the frequency of immune cell types in infected corneas from C57BL/6J (B6) and IGFBP-3 knockout (IGFBP-3-/-) mice. Slit-lamp microscopy was used to quantitate the development of opacity and neovascularization in infected corneas from both groups of mice. Results Quantitation of protein array dot blot showed an increased level of IGFBP-3 protein in HSV-1 infected than uninfected corneas and was confirmed with ELISA and quantitative RT-PCR assays.
