Primary prevention of sudden cardiac death using implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
Despite substantial advances in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a leading cause of death in industrialized countries. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has been demonstrated to be an attractive option for primary prevention of SCD in high-risk patients. This review discusses the progress in the risk stratification for selecting ...
متن کاملSudden cardiac death and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
Sudden cardiac death is a major public health problem, affecting 500,000 patients in the United States annually. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) can terminate malignant ventricular arrhythmias and has been shown to improve survival in high-risk populations. Although sudden cardiac death is a heterogeneous condition, left ventricular ejection fraction of 35 percent or less remain...

متن کاملPreventing sudden death: implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in elderly cardiac patients.
Much of the public was introduced to the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) when Vice President Cheney, a survivor of four heart attacks, received the device in 2001. Although ICDs were initially limited to patients with previous cardiac arrests or arrhythmias, more recent studies have demonstrated that ICDs can prevent sudden cardiac death in patients who have not had a cardiac arres...
متن کاملImplantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators for Secondary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death: A Review
F irst used in humans in 1980, the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) was designed to recognize and treat malignant ventricular arrhythmias and thus prevent arrhythmic death. Among patients with an aborted episode of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) due to ventricular arrhythmias without a reversible cause, the ICD is considered an important therapy for secondary prevention of SCA and is s...
