The Automatic Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1984The automatic implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator is an electronic device designed to monitor the heart continuously, to identify malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and then to deliver effective countershock to restore normal rhythm. There are two defibrillating electrodes which are also used for waveform analysis; one is located in the ...

Exploding Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2001Exploding Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator. A 79‐year‐old man with a pectoral implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system underwent periodic defibrillation threshold testing 18 months after implant. Attempted delivery of a 15‐J shock caused a light flash above the pocket and a loud “pop.” High‐voltage lead impedance was < 20 Ω. Pocket

Implantation of the Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1988Since February 1980 the automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator has been implanted in over 1,500 patients. Sudden death rates have been reduced to 2%-4% annually. This report reviews the implantation techniques, their indications, and our clinical experience in 200 patients.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy
The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2005Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major healthcare problem worldwide. The majority of SCD events occur in patients with clinically recognized heart disease and most episodes result from ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy prevents SCD in specific patient populations.

The implantable cardioverter–defibrillator: An update
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) provides life-saving therapy to prevent sudden cardiac death. ICDs have been implanted in millions of patients worldwide since the first human implant in 1980. Clinical trials have helped establish guidelines for ICD implantation in primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.

Twiddling with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
Acta Cardiologica, 2009A 64-year-old woman underwent implantation of a single-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. The active fixation lead was positioned in the right ventricular apex and the generator in a left pre-pectoral pocket. Device interrogation 4weeks after implantation revealed inappropriate sensing and failure of pacing. A chest X-ray showed the entire

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators in children
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2004The use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators in children presents several unique challenges for the pediatric cardiologist. Size considerations and hardware limitations are important in the current generation of devices that are not designed with children in mind.
