IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATORS [PDF]
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1998 Implantable cardioverter defibrillators have proven to be an effective therapy for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Given the ever-increasing number of patients who have these devices, increasing numbers of patients are likely to present to emergency departments with defibrillator-related problems. This article discusses normal device function,

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.

Implantable Atrial Defibrillators
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 1995Implantable Atrial Defibrillators. Due to the limited efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs for atrial fibrillation, several nonpharmacologic therapeutic options have evolved. One of these is an implantable atrial defibrillator. Recent studies have shown that internal atrial defibrillation is feasible with relatively low energies.

Implantable Cardioverter–Defibrillators
New England Journal of Medicine, 2003Most people do not survive out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and those who do may have substantial long-term cognitive and motor impairment. ICDs may avert such events. This review discusses the mechanisms of ICDs, clinical studies of their effectiveness, and management issues.

The automatic implantable defibrillator
American Heart Journal, 1980The automatic implantable defibrillator is an electronic device programmed to monitor the cardiac rhythm continuously, to recognize ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachyarrhythmias characterized by sinusoidal waveform, and to deliver corrective difibrillatory discharges when indicated.

Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators
Medical Clinics of North America, 2001The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) represents an important development in the effort to reduce the incidence of sudden cardiac death (almost 400,000 yearly in the United States). Early generation ICDs, which required epicardial lead systems and abdominal placement of the pulse generator, have been replaced by transvenous leads and ...

Completely Implanted Defibrillator
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1970To the Editor.— In reference to your recent editorial comment entitled "Automatic Detection and Defibrillation of Lethal Arrhythmias—A New Concept" 1 , readers might be interested in a recent paper by our group 2 which, in a sense, supplements the paper by Mirowski and colleagues.

1992
Early clinical reports suggested that the automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD) was effective in the prevention of sudden death in patients presumed to be at risk for life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias [1–3]. Subsequent experience supports these impressions [4–11]. There have been no prospective studies, in which therapy is

Implantable Defibrillation and Thromboembolic Events
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1995In ICD patients thrombo‐embolic events (TEEs) are described as possible complications at implant or during the follow‐up. We report four cases of TEEs (two peripheral and two cerebral; 6.5% of patients) that occurred in our series during a mean follow‐up of 19.4 months.
