Defibrillation Testing During Defibrillator Implantation [PDF]
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) terminate ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) with high efficacy. ICDs improve mortality in patients after survived sudden cardiac death (SCD) and in patients at high risk of dying suddenly.

Irradiation treatment of laryngeal cancer in a patient with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) [PDF]
Background: Due to an aging population the incidence of both cardiac and tumor-related illnesses is increasing. A problem may arise if radiotherapy is necessary in close anatomic proximity to an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
