IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATORS
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1998Implantable 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 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 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 values of defibrillation testing at implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2012Since its advent, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) intra-operative defibrillation testing (DFT) has been a standard practice to confirm its optimal configuration. However, due to advances in device and lead technology, which now facilitate successful device implantation, and due to growing number of ICD primary prevention patients, the need

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.

Implantation of the Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1988Since February 1980 the automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator has been implanted in over 1,500 patients. Sudden death rates have been reduced to 2%-4% annually. This report reviews the implantation techniques, their indications, and our clinical experience in 200 patients.

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.
