Significance of Shocks in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Recipients
Author(s): Anthony C Li , Amit Kaura , Nicholas Sunderland , et al Added: 3 years ago
Since the 1990s, the publication of several large randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have established the efficacy of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in reducing the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in high-risk patients. Collectively these trials have demonstrated a significant all-cause mortality reduction compared with medical therapy alone, for both the primary and… View more

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): Hussam Ali , Pierpaolo Lupo , Riccardo Cappato Added: 3 years ago
Numerous large clinical trials have demonstrated the benefit of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD) in selected populations.1,2 These results and advances in defibrillation therapies have led to an impressive expansion of ICD implants and indications in recent decades. Although initially focusing on secondary prevention, current ICD indications… View more
