Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Implantation

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 2015
Implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and biventricular pacemakers/cardioverter-defibrillators, is becoming increasingly common with new implants now exceeding 1.5 million per year globally.

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.

The Evolution of the Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Connector

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2013
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) play a vital role in the management of cardiac rhythm disturbances. The devices are comprised of two primary components: a generator and lead joined by a connector. Original pacemaker lead connectors were created de novo at the time of implantation or replacement and were very unreliable.

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 ...

Implantable Cardiac Electronic Devices

2014
Patients with pacemakers or internal cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are at risk for device malfunction or exposure to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from monopolar cautery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiofrequency ablation, electroconvulsive therapy, lithotripsy, and therapeutic radiation.

Remote Monitoring for Implantable Cardiac Electronic Devices

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2012
Pacemaker and implantable defibrillator implantation rates have increased significantly over the last decade. This, along with increasing complexity of the devices, has placed a large burden on the physicians and technicians that provide the follow up services for these patients.

Emerging Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Technologies

Cardiology Clinics
The last several years have witnessed an abundance of new and disruptive cardiac implantable electronic device innovations. These can be categorized in terms of cardiac pacing, noncardiac electrical stimulation, and leadless technology. A working knowledge of these new options for patients on the part of the clinical cardiology community is critical.
