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

Haemodynamic Monitoring Devices
Author(s): Leah M Raj , Leslie A Saxon Added: 3 years ago
This study reviews how haemodynamic monitoring devices that provide indirect or direct measures of heart failure status relate to cardiac rhythm management devices for the management of patients with the condition. The role of patient-facing software and services that provide information from these devices to patients can create a new model of heart failure disease management. In this care… View more

Team Management of the Ventricular Tachycardia Patient
Author(s): Pok Tin Tang , Duc H Do , Anthony C Li , et al Added: 3 years ago
Ventricular arrhythmias remain a major contributor to cardiac morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite ongoing research and implementation of novel therapeutic interventions. Modern management of patients with ventricular arrhythmias requires a multidisciplinary team approach, especially in complex presentations with a background of multiple medical comorbidities.1,2 Such teams may include… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Jan M Griffin , Jason N Katz Added: 3 years ago
Prior to the widespread availability of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), many end-stage heart failure patients were forced to fight over scarce transplant resources or face the reality of impending death. For those considered transplant-ineligible, due to medical or psychosocial factors, symptom palliation and end-of-life care were the only available options. This all changed dramatically… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Rahul K Mukherjee , Louisa O’Neill , Mark D O’Neill Added: 3 years ago
Recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients who have an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) with subsequent shocks is associated with reduced quality of life and an adverse prognosis. Pharmacological treatments are associated with significant side-effects. Catheter ablation has been used to reduce the number of ICD therapies in patients with ischaemic and non-ischaemic… View more
