Fear of exercise and health-related quality of life in patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator [PDF]

, 2003
Several studies have reported improved survival rates thanks to the use of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in the treatment of patients with life-threatening arrhythmia.

Subcutaneous defibrillator use with unipolar pacemakers: Cautiously possible

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2023
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 defibrillators [PDF]

Clinical Medicine, 2007
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 ...

Surface mapping demonstrates compatibility of implantable loop monitor with a continuous‐flow left ventricular assist device

ESC Heart Failure, 2021
Syncope in patients with continuous‐flow left ventricular assist device may be associated with arrhythmia and difficult to determine without an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator as a treatment for massive left ventricular fibroma-induced ventricular arrhythmia in a child [PDF]

Acute and Critical Care, 2021
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]

PLoS ONE, 2018
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 ...

Dutch Outcome in Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Therapy: Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator–Related Complications in a Contemporary Primary Prevention Cohort

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background One third of primary prevention implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator patients receive appropriate therapy, but all remain at risk of defibrillator complications. Information on these complications in contemporary cohorts is limited.

Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators – general and anesthetic considerations

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2014
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 ...

Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator [PDF]

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2012
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) represent a very effective therapy for primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, implantation of endocardial leads using a transvenous approach is associated with significant procedural and long term complications.
