Methods From November 2022 to May 2024, we conducted an outpatient follow-up of 41 patients receiving WCD. Among the cohort, 54% had hypertension, 41% were smokers and 66% had dyslipidaemia, while 27% were diabetic. Regular check-ups, remote monitoring and comprehensive echocardiography were performed to optimise a tailored therapy.
