Pacing and Defibrillators in Complex Congenital Heart Disease
Author(s): Henry Chubb , Mark O’Neill , Eric Rosenthal Added: 3 years ago
Device therapy is increasingly employed in the management of complex congenital heart disease (CHD). Bradycardias, most often related to sinus nodal dysfunction (SND) or atrioventricular nodal (AVN) block, may necessitate the implantation of pacing devices, while malignant arrhythmias may be treated by appropriate use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). However, there is a complex… View more

Heart Failure
Author(s): Joshua R Silverstein , Demosthenes G Katritsis , Mark E Josephson Added: 3 years ago
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. The yearly incidence of SCD is estimated to be 3,000,000 worldwide and between 300,000–450,000 in both the US and Western Europe.1,2 The survival rate for SCD is <1 % worldwide and close to 5 % in the developed world.3 In the past, cardiac arrest was thought to be most commonly due to ventricular… View more
