Characterization of health care utilization in patients receiving implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapies: An analysis of the managed ventricular pacing trial. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are effective in terminating lethal arrhythmias, but little is known about the degree of health care utilization (HCU) after ICD therapies.

Inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks—incidence, effect, and implications for driver licensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
PurposePatients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have an ongoing risk of sudden incapacitation that may cause traffic accidents. However, there are limited data on the magnitude of this risk after inappropriate ICD therapies.

Implantation of a completely right sided subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with situs inversus dextrocardia

open access: yesIndian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2019
Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly where the heart is abnormally located in the right hemithorax. In these patients, the implementation of transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (TV-ICD) can be technically challenging and pose a higher risk

Role of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in the Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an important cardiovascular disease with sudden cardiac death as the most devastating presentation. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are the optimal therapy for prevention of sudden death from ventricular

Utilization Rates of Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators for Primary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death: A 2012 Calculation for a Midwestern Health Referral Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Utilization rates (URs) for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (PPSCD) are lacking in the community. Objective To establish the ICD UR in central Indiana.

Unusual migration of implantable cardioverter defibrillator that clinically mimicking breast cancer: A case report

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports
Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator migration to the breast are an extremely rare complication. The rarity of this phenomenon and its potential to mimic breast cancer emphasize the importance of reporting such cases.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators for the treatment of arrhythmias and cardiac resynchronisation therapy for the treatment of heart failure: systematic review and economic evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background This assessment updates and expands on two previous technology assessments that evaluated implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for arrhythmias and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) for heart failure (HF).

“Atrial torsades de pointes” Induced by Low-Energy Shock From Implantable-Cardioverter Defibrillator

open access: yesIndian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2013
A 58 year-old-patient developed an episode of polymorphic atrial tachycardia which looked like "atrial torsades de pointes" after a 5J shock from implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

Impact of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator on rehospitalizations [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.
