Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with dextrocardia situs inversus
Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF NURSE-PEER-LED SUPPORT INTERVENTION ON QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH AN IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER-DEFIBRILLATOR: A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL
Background & Aims: Nowadays, the quality of life and how coping and treatment of patients with an implantable cardiac defibrillator has led to concern and attempts to reduce or eliminate the problems of these patients in the people who provide health care services.

متن کامل‘ICD in Primary Prevention: Potential Role of Sympathetic Nerve Imaging’
Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35% are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). These patients are likely to receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), effective in reducing the occurrence of SCD in primary prevention. The decision to use an ICD in CHF, according to the current guidelines, is based on New York Hea...
متن کاملIs correction for metallic artefacts mandatory in cardiac SPECT/CT imaging in the presence of pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator leads?
Introduction: Metallic artifacts due to pacemaker/ implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads in CT images can produce artifactual uptake in cardiac SPECT/CT images. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the metallic artifacts due to pacemaker and ICD leads on myocardial SPECT/CT imaging. Methods: The study included 9 patients wh...
متن کاملCirculation: Clinical Summaries
The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) represents a significant advance for the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although clinical guidelines recommend the use of an ICD for primary prevention of SCD among specific patients with low ejection fraction, the extent of its use among those who experience SCD in the community has not been investigated. Using a prospective populatio...
