Introduction Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) demonstrate a mortality reduction in patients at risk for sudden cardiac death.1–4 Transvenous lead placement with a subcutaneous, pectoral pulse generator has been the standard approach for ICD implantation for the past two decades,5 and have a high rate of successful implantation and a very low risk of in-hospital mortality.6 Despite… View more

Patients presenting with implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) shocks are increasingly common, primarily due to the expansion of ICD-placement indications. The discomfort and pain associated with ICD shocks often result in immediate medical attention. This occurs in emergency rooms and as acute visits in doctor’s offices. With the advances in remote monitoring, these alerts can also occur… View more

EHRA 2019: Internal vs. External Electrical Cardioversion of Atrail Arrhythmias in Patients With an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD)
Author(s): Jakob Luker Added: 5 years ago
Dr Jakob Lüker (University Hospital Cologne, DE) discusses internal vs. external electrical cardioversion of atrail arrhythmias in patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Filmed on site by Radcliffe Cardiology. Questions: 1. What is the concern with atrial conversions in patients with AICDs (automated implantable cardioverter defibrillator)? (00:10) 2. How does… View more

Implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) are being implanted in an ever-increasing number of patients at risk for sudden cardiac death. To ensure the efficacy of the defibrillation system, step-down defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing has traditionally been used to ensure that the ICD can appropriately detect and terminate clinical ventricular fibrillation (VF). Currently, the most… View more

Job title: Professor
Prof Paul Kalra is Professor of Cardiologyat Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, UK.The majority of his work involves assessment, investigation and management of patients with known or suspected cardiac problems. While he has a broad interest in all aspects of general adult cardiology, his sub-specialty interest is the assessment and management of patients with heart failure. Prof Kalra has… View more

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease and left ventricular dysfunction.1 The second Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial (MADIT-II) and the Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial (SCD-HeFT) have shown that implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease and… View more
