Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 1999Abstract In the quest to save lives, a greater number of ICDs are implanted each year. These ICDs with pacing capabilities offer a successful therapeutic intervention to a devastating problem. Patients who have these devices will appear in operating rooms around the country. Manage these patients like all other patients who have heart disease, before

Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators
American Journal of Therapeutics, 2010The automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD) is the most effective treatment for patients with life-threatening ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association class I, IIa, and III indications for an AICD are discussed.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Implantation with or Without Defibrillation Testing
Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2018Defibrillation testing (DFT) during implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation is still considered standard of care in some, but in increasingly fewer centers. The goal is to ensure that the device system functions as intended by testing in the controlled laboratory setting.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators
Proceedings of the IEEE, 1996The electrical design challenges for implantable defibrillators are discussed based on the following criteria: device evolution, system architecture, therapy delivery, mid heart activity sensing circuits. The discussion includes the incidence of sudden cardiac death and the clinical requirements of device hardware.

The implantable cardioverter defibrillator
Hospital Medicine, 2002The implantable cardioverter defibrillator is the optimal treatment for both primary and secondary prevention in patients with previous aborted sudden death and with life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. This article will review the indications and the evidence supporting implantable cardioverter defibrillator use.

The implantable cardioverter defibrillator
The Lancet, 2001Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have evolved from the treatment of last resort to the gold standard therapy for patients at high risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias. High-risk patients include those who have survived life-threatening arrhythmias, and individuals with cardiac diseases who are at risk for such arrhythmias, but are ...
