Role of antiarrhythmic drugs: frequent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks, risk of proarrhythmia, and new drug therapy. [PDF]
The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is the standard of care in patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy who are at high risk for arrhythmic events and sudden cardiac death.

Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy: Towards Genotype Based Diagnoses and Management
To improve arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) patient care four pillars of ACM research are necessary. The first pillar to improve ACM is cohort studies in which the genotype‐specific natural history of disease is described, and subsequently genotype‐specific risk calculators can be developed, such as the DSP and PLN risk calculators.

Frequency Analysis of Atrial Fibrillation From the Surface Electrocardiogram [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Neither the natural history of AF nor its response to therapy are sufficiently predictable by clinical and echocardiographic parameters.

Long-term outcome with the automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator [PDF]
The automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was implanted in 270 patients because of life-threatening arrhythmias over a 7 year period. There was a history of sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, or both, in 96% of these patients ...

Implantable Defibrillators: Which Is the Best Device for Each Patient?
ABSTRACT The first viable alternative to surgical implantation of an epicardial defibrillator system for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) was a single chamber transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Thanks to technological advancements over the past 40 years, electrophysiologists now have several options when ...
