Combined resynchronisation and implantable defibrillator therapy in left ventricular dysfunction: Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
OBJECTIVE To review the evidence base from randomised controlled trials of combined cardiac resynchronisation therapy and implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy in left ventricular impairment and symptomatic heart failure. DESIGN Bayesian network meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases up to June 2006. REVIEW METHODS Two reviewers independently assessed...
متن کاملImplantable 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 کاملImplantable defibrillator therapy.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the most important cause of death in the industrialised world. Treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD), however, proved disappointing in preventing SCD. From drugs with electrophysiological properties, only treatment with beta-blockers has been shown to improve clinical outcome. This lack of efficiency of AADs heralded a new era of secondary and primary preventio...
متن کاملImpact of implantable defibrillators and resynchronization therapy on outcome in patients with left ventricular dysfunction--a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND The clinical benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and primary prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) are debated. OBJECTIVE To evaluate by a meta-analysis the effect of CRT and prophylactic ICD therapy in patients with LVSD. METHODS Eligible trials evaluating the effect of CRT vs. no-C...
متن کاملEffect of cardiac resynchronisation therapy on occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators undergoing upgrade to cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices.
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) improves outcomes in selected patients with heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction. One mechanism of benefit is believed to be favourable ventricular remodelling. Whether CRT also decreases the frequency of ventricular arrhythmias and risk of sudden death is unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of CRT on frequency of ventricular...
