Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator oversensing due to electric shock [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2010
Introduction. We described the first case of oversensing due to electric shock in Serbia, in a 54-year-old man who had implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Case Outline.

Drift and termination of spiral waves in optogenetically modified cardiac tissue at sub-threshold illumination

eLife, 2021
The development of new approaches to control cardiac arrhythmias requires a deep understanding of spiral wave dynamics. Optogenetics offers new possibilities for this.

The “Defibrillation Testing, Why Not?” survey. Testing of subcutaneous and transvenous defibrillators in the Italian clinical practice

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Background: Defibrillation testing (DT) can be omitted in patients undergoing transvenous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (T-ICD) implantation, but it is still recommended for patients at risk for a high defibrillation threshold and for ICD ...

Revision of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator to intermuscular pocket to prevent inappropriate shocks

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
Sensing and defibrillation threshold for a S‐ICD are impacted by positioning at implant or revision. The intermuscular pocket prevents device migration and provides appropriate, stable sensing vectors.

Late Incidental Discovery of Compression of the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery by an Endocardial Defibrillator Lead

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2023
Coronary artery compression/damage by cardiac pacing/defibrillation leads is very rare and often an unknown complication of pacemaker implantation. Here, we present the case of a 71-year-old woman with late discovery of an asymptomatic compression of the

Treatment of ineffective endocardial defibrillation with subcutaneous array: a case report

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2017
Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing is an important part of ICD implantation. After placement of the ICD generator, a DFT test is performed to evaluate the integrity of the ICD system and to confirm a successful defibrillation safety margin. More than

Additional coronary sinus shocking lead as rescue therapy after multiple internal and external defibrillation failures

Clinical Case Reports, 2017
Key Clinical Message High defibrillation threshold (DFT) and defibrillation failure can lead to intractable ventricular arrhythmias. Additional coronary sinus coil is an effective strategy to achieve marked reduction in DFT.

Traumatic Tension Pneumothorax as a Cause of ICD Failure: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2014
Background. Tension pneumothorax can infrequently cause ventricular arrhythmias and increase the threshold of defibrillation. It should be suspected whenever there is difficulty in defibrillation for a ventricular arrhythmia. Purpose. To report a case of

Successful intermuscular implantation of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator in a Japanese patient with pectus excavatum

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
The entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) system was developed to provide a life-saving defibrillation therapy that does not affect the heart and vasculature.

Combining Amplitude Spectrum Area with Previous Shock Information Using Neural Networks Improves Prediction Performance of Defibrillation Outcome for Subsequent Shocks in Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
OBJECTIVE:Quantitative ventricular fibrillation (VF) waveform analysis is a potentially powerful tool to optimize defibrillation. However, whether combining VF features with additional attributes that related to the previous shock could enhance the ...
