Impact of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator on rehospitalizations

, 2017
Patients who survive out-of-hospital ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation are at risk of sudden cardiac death and often return to hospital after initial discharge.

Utilization and Prognosis of Cardiac Device Implantation in AL Versus ATTR Amyloidosis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Cardiac amyloidosis can cause congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart blocks, which frequently require cardiac device implantation (CDI). However, the differences between light chain (AL) amyloidosis and transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis CDI requirements are unknown. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using the

Early Mobilization After Pacemaker Implantation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is leading to a rise in procedure‐related complications. Objective This trial aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of early mobilization and the possibility of same‐day discharge following permanent pacemaker implantation.

Inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks due to temporary epicardial pacing

, 2010
Oversensing of external electrical signals can cause inappropriate therapy in cardiac rhythm management devices. In this report, a patient with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is presented, who received inappropriate shocks due to ...

Incidence and Determinants of Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Therapy With Loss of and Impaired Consciousness

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) are important in the prevention of sudden cardiac death. However, some appropriate ICD therapies may be considered unnecessary, delivered when patients do not experience symptoms of hemodynamic instability such as loss of consciousness.

A Tale of Two “Unexpected” Asystoles

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
We report two cases of prolonged “unexpected” asystoles in patients with a wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD) and a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), respectively, which were promptly recognized and successfully managed ...

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator pocket infection caused by Klebsiella pneumonia

, 2012
Like any other foreign bodies, implanted cardiac devices can become infected. Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphilococci are the most common causes of infections of pacemaker and defibrillator systems.

QT Interval Evaluation in Right Ventricular Pacing: Validation of a Novel Formula

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background QT interval measurement in the presence of right ventricular pacing (RVP) represents a clinical challenge. We therefore aimed to derive and validate a formula for QT estimation during RVP in a large cohort of pacemaker patients. Methods and Results We prospectively enrolled 100 patients in a derivation cohort and 487 in a validation
