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 ...

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-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 ...

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.
