The implantable cardioverter defibrillator

Hospital Medicine, 2002
The 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.

Exploding Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2001
Exploding Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator. A 79‐year‐old man with a pectoral implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system underwent periodic defibrillation threshold testing 18 months after implant. Attempted delivery of a 15‐J shock caused a light flash above the pocket and a loud “pop.” High‐voltage lead impedance was < 20 Ω. Pocket

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major healthcare problem worldwide. The majority of SCD events occur in patients with clinically recognized heart disease and most episodes result from ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy prevents SCD in specific patient populations.
