Cardiac implantable electronic devices: An update

Australian Journal of General Practice
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are a core component in the management of heart rhythm disorders. The complexity of devices, the information gathered and therapy delivered by CIEDs continues to advance at pace.The aim of this paper is to provide an update on advances in CIED technology and how this applies to managing patients with CIEDs

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices

2021
A 93-year-old man with a history of complete heart block presented to the anesthesia preoperative assessment clinic 1 day prior to a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia. He had a dual-chamber pacemaker for an unknown period of time. He was unaware of when the device was last interrogated.

Cybersecurity in cardiac implantable electronic devices

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2019
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) integrate numerous automatic and monitor functions. Nowadays, most CIEDs are connected to the Internet (via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or smartphone) to ensure remote monitoring of technical and clinical data: despite the importance of such a monitoring, especially from a clinical point of view, concerns have been ...

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices in the Fontan Patient

Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2022
As a result of remarkable progress in operative techniques and cardiology care during childhood, Fontan patients continue to age and require team-based multidisciplinary expertise to manage complications encountered in adulthood. They face particular challenges in terms of altered hemodynamic stressors, cardiac and hepatic failure, and arrhythmias ...

MRI of Patients with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices

Current Cardiovascular Imaging Reports, 2019
The purpose of this review is to clarify the risks associated with MRI exams for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and to provide information regarding the MRI examination protocol for patients with CIEDs.Several prospective studies evaluated the feasibility of MRI exams for patients with CIEDs and reported no adverse events.

Preventing cardiac implantable electronic device infections

Heart Rhythm, 2015
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have dramatically improved clinical outcomes in patients with heart disease, and the number of CIED-related procedures being performed continues to grow. Unfortunately, the rate of device-related infection (DRI) is increasing disproportionately to the rate of implantation, with DRI rates of >2% in many ...

MRI in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2012
MRI is a powerful diagnostic tool; however, it is relatively contraindicated for patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and implantable defibrillators. Several interactions with CIEDs have the potential to cause harm, and fatalities have been reported.

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices

2017
There is an increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices in patients with chronic heart failure. These devices have a number of functions including pacing, defibrillation, resynchronization, and physiologic monitoring. While referral for consideration of such devices can be done on a nonemergent outpatient basis, an encounter in the ...
