Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a public health problem of immense magnitude, afflicting an estimated 300,000 persons per year in the US.1 SCD, defined as death occurring within one hour from symptom-onset, is associated with ischemic heart disease in 80% of cases. Approximately one-third of cases are the result of an acute occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery.2 Some 50% of the mortality… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions

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

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): David S Rosenbaum Added: 3 years ago
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US with 700,000 deaths annually, of which 460,000 are attributable to sudden cardiac death (SCD).1,2 SCD is usually attributed to ventricular fibrillation (VF). Despite recent reductions in cardiac mortality from other causes, the incidence of SCD remains high with minimal decline in the last decade. The large majority of patients who suffer life… View more

Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia
Author(s): Timothy M Markman , Daniel A McBride , Jackson J Liang Added: 3 years ago
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurs most frequently in patients with structural heart disease. Management of VT in these patients can be complex, requiring an integrated approach with multiple therapeutic modalities. Antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) can be effective in the management of VT and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have been shown to effectively prevent sudden cardiac death… View more

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been established as a therapeutic option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who are considered to be of intermediate, high or prohibitive surgical risk.1–5 As a result of favorable TAVR outcomes and substantial improvements in transcatheter heart valve (THV) technologies and implantation techniques, the feasibility of broadening… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Thomas J Povsic Added: 3 years ago
The potential of physiological regeneration offered by stem-cell-mediated therapy has captured the imagination of both the public and the scientific community. This is especially true for the cardiovascular and nervous systems, which have long been considered terminally differentiated and post-mitotic with minimal capacity for regeneration and repair. While the ability of embryonically derived… 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

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
