The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has currently become the standard treatment for preventing sudden cardiac death. There are some psychological consequences in patients with ICD such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the shocks induced by ICD. This report aimed to present the case of a 54-year-old man with ICD who had developed PTSD; his PTSD was treated, using cognit...
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the most common arrhythmic cause of sudden cardiac death. The present recommendation for prevention of VF is ICD implantation. However, ICDs are costly; the shocks they give are often very uncomfortable for the patient and they may need reimplantation if there is battery depletion. Radiofrequency ablation of VF was pioneered by Haissaguerre1 and is presently bei...
This study investigates when forced sales turn into fire sales by using a natural experiment which allows us to separate supply and demand effects: Forced sales result from sudden death of house owners and are thus unrelated to current market conditions. We find that forced sales result in fire sale discounts. Discounts increase when the sale is urgent, market conditions are poor, the seller is...
We address the pitfalls of averaging by exploiting the longitudinal variation in aid to identify sudden and sharp increases in aid flows. Focusing on specific events, we test if aid accelerations correspond to policies and shocks in the recipient country. For a large sample of 145 recipient countries and 33 donors from 19602007, we find that positive regime changes and wars are significant pred...
In cases of coronary artery spasm, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias are possible and can lead to sudden cardiac death. Treatment for this condition includes implantable cardioverter defibrillators, but their effectiveness in patients who present with ventricular fibrillation is debated. Our patient presented with intractable ventricular fibrillation episodes that triggered shocks from h...
Though the growth of the industrial sector started to slowdown in the first half of 2007-08, the overall growth during the year remained as high as 8.5 per cent. The industrial sector witnessed a sharp slowdown during 2008-09 as a consequence of successive shocks, the most important being the knock-on effects of the global financial crisis. The pace of slowdown accelerated in the second half of...
The implantable cardioverterdefibrillator (ICD) has consistently demonstrated a lifesaving benefit in patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. Quality-of-life outcomes with the ICD may be directly related to coping successfully with ICD shocks. Although most people are able to tolerate a shock to some extent, the experience of shock is discomforting and can prompt feelings of anxiety, depres...
— The Internet is a complex system, whose temporal behavior is highly nonstationary and exhibits sudden drastic changes regarded as main shocks or catastrophes. Here, analyzing a set of time series data of round-trip time measured in echo experiment with the Ping Command, the property of “aftershocks” (i.e., catastrophes of smaller scales) after a main shock is studied. It is found that the aft...
Introduction Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy is commonly used for the prevention of sudden arrhythmic death in high risk populations. A recognized complication of such therapy is lead failure, leading to potential inappropriate detection and delivery of high energy defibrillation shocks. Many modern devices utilize algorithms which can differentiate between lead noise and t...
Apatient with dilated cardiomyopathy and aborted sudden death was admitted for repeated shocks from his Guidant Ventak Prizm dual chamber implantable cardioverterdefibrillator (ICD). Interrogation of stored events over the last six months revealed 46 episodes at a rate of 140/min, interpreted as ventricular tachycardia (VT). These were usually interrupted by programmed overdrive ventricular pac...
