Azygos Vein ICD Lead Implantation Lowers Defibrillation Threshold in a Patient with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Cardiogenetics, 2021
A 14-year-old boy with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) diagnosed at the age of 1 year and with massive left ventricular hypertrophy suffered an episode of ventricular fibrillation during mild effort. He underwent a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter

Computational Model for Therapy Optimization of Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator: Shockable Rhythm Detection and Optimal Electrotherapy

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is a life saving, wearable, noninvasive therapeutic device that prevents fatal ventricular arrhythmic propagation that leads to sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Do we need defibrillation threshold testing?: A pilot study [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2013
Defibrillation threshold testing (DFT) is a standard procedure during implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation, however, it is not without risks.

Azygous vein coil lowers defibrillation threshold in patients with high defibrillation threshold [PDF]

Europace, 2011
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce sudden death in patients at high risk. High defibrillation thresholds (DFTs) are not uncommon and may be the cause of failed defibrillation in patients with ICDs. Addition of a coil in the azygous vein posterior to the heart lowers the DFT in most patients by altering the electrical vector during ...

A Novel Solution for the High Defibrillation Threshold in Patients with a DF-4 Lead: Adding a High Voltage Adaptor/Splitter

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
A high defibrillation threshold occurs in approximately 6% of implants. The defibrillation threshold can be improved by addition of a defibrillation lead. However, the DF-4 high energy ICD header precludes the addition of a defibrillation lead.
