The role of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and sudden cardiac death prevention: indications, device selection, and outcome.

European Heart Journal, 2019
Multiple randomized multicentre clinical trials have established the role of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) as the mainstay in the treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) prevention.

Implantable Atrial Defibrillators

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 1995
Implantable 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 Cardiac Defibrillators

Medical Clinics of North America, 2001
The 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 Early generation ICDs, which required epicardial lead systems and abdominal placement of the pulse generator, have been replaced by transvenous leads and ...

[Implantable defibrillators].

Zeitschrift fur die gesamte innere Medizin und ihre Grenzgebiete, 1992
Automatic implantable defibrillator therapy has changed the approach to life-threatening ventricular tachycardia completely and essentially improved survival after aborted sudden cardiac death. Since the first implantation of a defibrillator in 1980, 20,000 patients have received such a device.

IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATORS

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,

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Implantation with or Without Defibrillation Testing

Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2018
Defibrillation 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

New England Journal of Medicine, 2003
Most 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.

Completely Implanted Defibrillator

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1970
To 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.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator:

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 1993
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator. The Ventritex® Cadence® Model V‐100 Tiered Therapy Defibrillator is a third generation antitachyarrhythmia device currently completing clinical trials in the United States. The implantable pulse generator is capable of high energy detibrillation, low energy cardioversion, as well as antitachycardia and ...
