Magnets and implantable cardioverter defibrillators: What′s the problem?

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2013
A growing number of surgical patients present to the operating room with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). Peri-operative care of these patients dictates that ICD function be suspended for many surgical procedures to avoid inappropriate, and

Inappropriate ICD Shocks - When Monitoring Zones Do More Than Monitor

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2013
The ventricular tachycardia (VT) monitoring zone in implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) is usually programmed to detect slow VTs. However, it is not well known whether programming this zone can affect the ICD arrhythmia redetection or ...

Ultra-low-energy defibrillation through adjoint optimization [PDF]

This study investigates ultra-low-energy defibrillation protocols using a simple two-dimensional model of cardiac tissue. We find that, rather counter-intuitively, a single, properly timed, biphasic pulse can be more effective in defibrillating the tissue than low energy antitachycardia pacing (LEAP) which employs a sequence of such pulses, succeeding ...

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators [PDF]

, 2011
In recently years, Artificial Neural Networks have been studied extensively and applied in medical field, and have been demonstrated to have much better pattern recognition ability. In this chapter we present a VLSI chip to be implemented using 0.35 μm CMOS technology which is the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICDs).

Unregulated online sales of cardiac implantable electronic devices in the United States: A six-month assessment

Heart Rhythm O2, 2020
Background: An estimated 1 million patients require cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) but go without annually. This disparity exists in low-to-middle-income nations largely owing to the cost of CIED hardware.
