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

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 ...

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 ...

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

The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2014To consider the case of need that underpinned the development of the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (SICD), the preclinical and clinical data obtained so far, its current role and likely future.The data from prospective clinical evaluation of the device demonstrated safety and efficacy leading to Food and Drug Administration ...

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 ...

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.
