Risk of defibrillation threshold testing in severe heart failure patient: A case of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) with acute myocardial infarction

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2012
Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing is usually recommended after device implantation to confirm appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)/cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) function [1,2].

Azygos Vein Lead Implantation For High Defibrillation Thresholds In Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Placement

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2010
Evaluation of defibrillation threshold is a standard of care during implantation of implantable cardioverter defibrillator. High defibrillation thresholds are often encountered and pose a challenge to electrophysiologists to improve the defibrillation ...

Constitutively Active Acetylcholine-Dependent Potassium Current Increases Atrial Defibrillation Threshold by Favoring Post-Shock Re-Initiation. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2015
Electrical cardioversion (ECV), a mainstay in atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment, is unsuccessful in up to 10–20% of patients. An important aspect of the remodeling process caused by AF is the constitutive activition of the atrium-specific acetylcholine ...

Influence of anaesthesia on defibrillation threshold [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 1998
Internal cardioverter–defibrillator implantation can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. Whether the technique of general anaesthesia influences the defibrillation threshold remains a matter of debate. We therefore compared, in a prospective, randomised clinical study, the effect of intravenous anaesthesia using propofol with inhalational ...

Implantation Site Does Matter for Defibrillation Threshold.

Circulation Journal, 2016
Axillary implantation of a cardiac device is considered if the patient is thin, emaciated, a small child or young female who needs excellent cosmetic results and comfort.2–4 Shefer et al described a retropectoral transaxillary pacemaker implantation with
