Battery Longevity in Modern Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy‐Defibrillators [PDF]
Background Battery longevity in high‐voltage devices (HVDs), specifically implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy‐defibrillators (CRT‐Ds), is critical for reducing the frequency of generator replacements ...

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators [PDF]
Sudden cardiac death occurs in 70,000-100,000 people annually in the UK, mostly in people with pre-existing heart disease but in 20% it is the first presentation Previous myocardial infarction (Ml) and significant left ventricular dysfunction are associated with a high rate of sudden cardiac death Implantable defibrillators are recommended in the ...

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.
