The implantable cardioverter defibrillator

The Lancet, 2001
Implantable 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 ...

Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1994
The AICD represents a major technologic advance for patients with life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias in whom drug or surgical therapy is unsuccessful. A significant reduction in mortality in these patients is seen with AICD use. As the device becomes more widely available and more centers in the country become adept in its implantation and ...

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

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy

The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2005
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.
