Ventricular Arrhythmias Among Patients With Advanced Heart Failure: A Population‐Based Study
Background The epidemiology of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in patients with advanced heart failure (HF) is not well defined. Methods and Results Residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, with advanced HF from 2007 to 2017 were identified using the 2018 ...

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators [PDF]
Sudden cardiac death occurs in 70,000-100,000 people annually in the UK, mostly in people with pre-existing heart disease but in 20% it is the first presentation Previous myocardial infarction (Ml) and significant left ventricular dysfunction are associated with a high rate of sudden cardiac death Implantable defibrillators are recommended in the ...

An increasing number of patients with implantable cardiac rhythm devices undergo radiotherapy (RT) for cancer and are thereby exposed to the risk of device failure. Current safety recommendations seem to have limitations by not accounting for the risk of

Should all patients receive dual chamber pacing ICDs? The rationale for the DAVID trial
All of the prospective multicenter trials that support the use of implantable defibrillators have used single chamber pacemakers/implantable cardiovertor defibrillators (ICDs).

AIMS Sudden cardiac death is a major cause of mortality in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients. The indications for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation in ACHD patients are still not well established.

Experiences of magnetic resonance imaging scanning in patients with pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators [PDF]
Background/Aims Despite the U.S. Food and Drug Adminstration approving a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-conditional pacemaker system in 2011, many physicians remain reluctant to perform MRI scanning in patients with cardiac implantable electronic ...

Present criteria for prophylactic ICD implantation: Insights from the EU-CERT-ICD (Comparative Effectiveness Research to Assess the Use of Primary ProphylacTic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in EUrope) project [PDF]
BACKGROUND. The clinical effectiveness of primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy is under debate. It is urgently needed to better identify patients who benefit from prophylactic ICD therapy. The EUropean Comparative Effectiveness Research to Assess the Use of Primary ProphylacTic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (

Terminating spiral waves with a single designed stimulus: Teleportation as the mechanism for defibrillation [PDF]
We demonstrate a universal mechanism for terminating spiral waves in excitable media using an established topological framework. This mechanism dictates whether high- or low-energy defibrillation shocks succeed or fail. Furthermore, this mechanism allows for the design of a single minimal stimulus capable of defibrillating, at any time, turbulent ...
