Clinical Risk Stratification for Primary Prevention Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
BACKGROUND A conceptualized model may be useful for understanding risk stratification of primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillators considering the competing risks of appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator shock versus mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS In a prospective, multicenter, population-based cohort with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35% referred for prim...
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 کاملPrimary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and survival in older women.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the benefit of primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in women. BACKGROUND Clinical trials of primary prevention ICDs enrolled a limited number of women. METHODS Using a propensity score method, we matched 490 women ≥65 years of age who received an ICD during a hospitalization for heart failure in the National Car...
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...
متن کاملImplantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
N Engl J Med 2003;349:1836-47. Copyright © 2003 Massachusetts Medical Society. espite advances in emergency medical systems and in techniques of resuscitation, sudden death from cardiac arrest remains a major public health problem. Most persons who have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest do not survive. 1,2 Those who are resuscitated may have severe, long-term cognitive impairment and motor impa...
