Implantable cardioverter defibrillator: decision-making on turning off in patients with end-stage heart failure

open access: yesРоссийский кардиологический журнал, 2020
The use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators has become a common standard method of primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death, prolonging the life of patients with cardiomyopathy.

Radiotherapy in patients with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators: a literature review.

open access: yesEuropace, 2016
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

open access: yesCurrent Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2001
All of the prospective multicenter trials that support the use of implantable defibrillators have used single chamber pacemakers/implantable cardiovertor defibrillators (ICDs).

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in adults with congenital heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2016
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.

Data deluge from remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices and importance of clinical stratification

open access: yesHeart Rhythm O2, 2023
Background: Remote monitoring (RM) has been accepted as a standard of care for follow-up of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). However, the resulting data deluge poses major challenge to device clinics.

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]

open access: yesJournal of Electrocardiology, 2019, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2021
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 ...
