Programming implantable cardioverter/defibrillators and outcomes
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators are complex technical devices with a multitude of programming options for the physician. In recent years, numerous randomized trials have been performed to define the optimal programming strategies and have provided valuable insights, especially in primary prevention patients. This article provides an actual overview on the existing evidence on the most i...
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 کاملImplantable defibrillators and sudden cardiac death.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is among the most common causes of death in developed countries throughout the world. It is estimated that more than 3 million people die yearly from SCD, with a survival rate of less than 1%. In the United States, the Center for Disease Control recently estimated an annual incidence of 450 000 sudden deaths,1 with a survival rate of approximately 5%, although this pr...
متن کاملPrimary 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 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...
