External defibrillation on an implantable defibrillator [PDF]

Journal of Anesthesia, 2013
To the Editor: Despite the best efforts of healthcare providers, guideline-conform treatment failure is expected to occur, particularly in real-world emergency situations [1]. In the case reported here, a 79-year-old man with a history of coronary artery disease and implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) presented to the emergency room with

T-Wave Oversensing with Contemporary Implantable Cardioverter–Defibrillators

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Background: Implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) need to reliably detect ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) while avoiding T-wave oversensing (TWOS), which is associated with a risk of inappropriate therapies.

Indications of Implantable Defibrillator

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 1995
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators are devices capable of detecting and terminating ventricular tachycardias or fibrillations. They are utilized in the treatment of severe ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and their efficacy in the prevention of sudden death is demonstrated.

Role of artificial intelligence in defibrillators: a narrative review

Open Heart, 2022
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are used to treat life-threatening arrhythmias. AEDs and ICDs use shock advice algorithms to classify ECG tracings as shockable or non-shockable rhythms in ...
