Erosive Pressure Dermatitis Associated with Cardiac Pacemaker
Erosive dermatitis is a skin reaction associated with implantable cardiac devices (ie, pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators). We report a 65-year-old man with a history of several cerebrovascular attacks who developed an erythematous crusted erosive patch over the pacemaker site after implantation of two subsequent pacemakers. We suggest that physical irritation may be a trigger factor fo...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Changes in Psychosocial Distress in Japanese Patients with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators.

Using a longitudinal repeated-measure design, 29 patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators completed the Profile of Mood States-Short Form Japanese Version questionnaire before discharge and 1, 4, 7, and 13 month...
متن کاملIndication of Implantable Devices for the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death
In Japan, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) were approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) in 1996. The first guidelines for ICD were published by the Japanese Circulation Society (JCS) in 2001, then a revised version was posed on JCS’s website in 2006. Cardiac-resynchronization therapy without (CRT-P) with (CRT-D) implantable defibrillators were then app...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Brugada Syndrome
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is considered to be the main therapy for prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS). However, there have been several reports suggesting a higher prevalence of complications, such as inappropriate shocks, lead failure, and device infection compared with the incidence of lethal ventricular arrhythmia. BrS is mainly diag...
متن کاملAn inappropriate pacing threshold increase after repeated electrical storm in a patient with implantable cardioverter defibrillator
BACKGROUND Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are capable of effectively terminating malignant ventricular arrhythmia and are the most effective way to prevent sudden cardiac death. However, some evidences demonstrated that both anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) and ICD shock can also bring adverse prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 66-year-old Han Chinese man with prior ICD implantation w...
