The implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 2000
AbstractVentricular arrhythmias remain a major cause of cardiovascular mortality. Therapy for serious ventricular arrhythmias has evolved over the past decade, from treatment primarily with antiarrhythmic drugs to implanted devices. The implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) is the best therapy for patients who have experienced an episode of ...
