Anxiety in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
Diagnosis of a cardiac genetic disorder can be a lifechanging event. Symptomatic status, uncertainty regarding disease progression, risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), recommended lifestyle changes (ie, activity restrictions or career change), and genetic transmission to offspring all contribute to the potential psychological burden of disease. Most of the relevant literature on this topic focu...
متن کاملImplantable cardioverter-defibrillators in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) patients treated with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is associated with tachyarrhythmia and an increased risk of sudden death. METHODS This study included 42 ARVD/C patients wit...
متن کاملImplantable cardioverter defibrillator in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathies.
In the present issue of Circulation, Wichter et al 1 report the largest single-center experience demonstrating the benefit of implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) in the treatment of patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The patients seem well defined, and they meet the task force criteria. In addition, 50 of 60 patients have had the diagnosis confirmed by e...
متن کاملImplantable cardioverter defibrillators in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy: patient outcomes, incidence of appropriate and inappropriate interventions, and complications.
BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is a cardiomyopathy characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and an abnormal right ventricle. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy may prevent sudden cardiac death in patients with ARVD/C. Currently, an overview of outcomes, appropriate and inappropriate interventions, and complications of ICD therapy ...
متن کاملImplantable transvenous cardioverter-defibrillators.
BACKGROUND Implantable transvenous cardioverter-defibrillators offer a significant opportunity to decrease procedural morbidity and medical costs in the care of patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias who otherwise would have required a sternotomy or thoracotomy for device insertion. The purpose of this study was to examine prospectively the safety, efficacy, and limitations asso...
