Implantable Cardioverter–Defibrillators
New England Journal of Medicine, 2003Most people do not survive out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and those who do may have substantial long-term cognitive and motor impairment. ICDs may avert such events. This review discusses the mechanisms of ICDs, clinical studies of their effectiveness, and management issues.

Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1994The AICD represents a major technologic advance for patients with life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias in whom drug or surgical therapy is unsuccessful. A significant reduction in mortality in these patients is seen with AICD use. As the device becomes more widely available and more centers in the country become adept in its implantation and ...

The Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
Cardiology in Review, 2016The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is a subcutaneous alternative to conventional transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) systems, which have previously been shown to treat life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias in cardiac disease patients.

Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators in Children
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2008Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICD) in adults have shown to be safe and effective for both primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). In children and patients with congenital heart disease prospective trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these devices are still lacking.

A Prophylactic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator?
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1996Antiarrhythmic drugs have systematically failed to improve--or have even worsened prognosis--when given prophylactically to "high-risk" patients without previous spontaneous sustained ventricular arrhythmias. In patients who have had > or = 1 episode(s) of near sudden cardiac death or sustained ventricular arrhythmias, randomized studies against ...

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in children
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2014Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) have become an integral component in the management of children with life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias complicating a variety of different inherited and congenital cardiovascular conditions. Implantation often requires novel approaches and configurations to overcome the size and anatomic limitations ...

Advances in implantable cardioverter defibrillators
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2002Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have become an important therapeutic modality for patients who have had a cardiac arrest or are at risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Clinical trials have confirmed the role of the ICD for patients with sustained ventricular arrhythmias and have expanded the indications to include patients ...

Use of Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
Future Cardiology, 2010The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is the most effective treatment for patients with life-threatening ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation not due to reversible causes. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association class I and IIa indications for an ICD are discussed.

The patient with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator
Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, 2003Electrophysiologic technology developed over the past 20 years has improved the life expectancy of patients who have survived sudden cardiac death events. Use of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) continues to increase as more indications for the device are researched.
