Do elderly patients benefit from implantable-cardioverter defibrillators?
Sudden cardiac death resulting from lethal ventricular arrhyth-mias forms a major cause of mortality. The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has been shown to reduce mortality in patients who survived cardiac arrest, who experienced a previous myocardial infarction and have a diminished left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), or who have a dilated cardiomyopathy and an LVEF. This h...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation in patients with implantable defibrillators.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients who have implantable defibrillators and presents some unique challenges and opportunities. AF burden can be assessed more accurately, allowing for evaluation of therapy efficacy (drugs or ablation). It remains to be shown whether home monitoring of defibrillators to detect and treat AF more quickly can reduce cardiovascular and stroke end points. O...
متن کاملDo patients with hemodynamically tolerated ventricular tachycardia require implantable cardioverter-defibrillators? Patients With Hemodynamically Tolerated Ventricular Tachycardia Require Implantable Cardioverter–Defibrillators
Conventional wisdom has long held that patients with tolerated ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the setting of chronic coronary heart disease are at low risk of arrhythmic death. This logic held that arrhythmia recurrence, although reasonably likely, could be predicted to be well tolerated. As with all truisms, it is good to reexamine this belief periodically. Disease states change; more informa...
متن کاملdepression and associated factors in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
background: psychological problems such as depression constitute a dilemma that patients with the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (icd) usually encounter and may impact their quality of life. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of depression among adults with the icd and the relationship between depression and associated factors. methods: totally, 115 individuals ...
متن کاملEthical issues with implantable defibrillators.
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death in high risk populations.1 These devices were initially used only in patients who had survived an episode of life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmia,2−4 but recent clinical trials have yielded favorable results in populations of patients who have not experienced such arrhythmias but who are at high risk....
