Subcutaneous defibrillator use with unipolar pacemakers: Cautiously possible
Implantation of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with existing unipolar pacemaker is against manufacturer recommendations. We report the case of a successful subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator as a treatment for massive left ventricular fibroma-induced ventricular arrhythmia in a child [PDF]
Pediatric cardiac tumors are rare. Among these, cardiac fibroma is the second most common. Its clinical manifestations depend on size and location of the tumor and include arrhythmia or obstruction to blood flow.

Management of sudden cardiac death in cardiac sarcoidosis using the wearable cardioverter defibrillator. [PDF]
Patients with cardiac sarcoidosis are at increased risk of ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation.We tested the hypothesis that the wearable cardioverter defibrillator can be used to mitigate the risk of sudden cardiac death among cardiac sarcoidosis ...

Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators – general and anesthetic considerations
A pacemaking system consists of an impulse generator and lead or leads to carry the electrical impulse to the patient's heart. Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator codes were made to describe the type of pacemaker or implantable ...
