Symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest include loss of consciousness/fainting, fatigue/weakness, and shortness of breath. Learn more about the signs of SCA here.
The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) criteria for initial ventricular fibrillation (VF) detection are met (8 out of 10 intervals classified as fast), but VF is not reconfirmed as the diaphragm potentials cease and the ‘‘Duration’’ is not met (Duration is programmed to 1 s). VF therapy is not delivered.
25 lut 2021 · Safety issues in selected patients implanted with Boston Scientific EMBLEM subcutaneous cardioverter defibrillator systems. Maciej Kempa, Maciej Sterliński, Przemysław Mitkowski, Adam Sokal, Krzysztof Kaczmarek, Jarosław Kaźmierczak, Andrzej Przybylski. DOI: 10.33963/KP.15833. Pubmed: 33635036.
Combined with the increasing number of ICD patients, troubleshooting of ICD related problems has become a challenging task. In this overview some of the most important device related problems will be discussed.
This review summarizes LF mechanisms, assessment, and differential diagnosis, as well as management of patients with recalled leads or lead advisories. In this review, mechanical LF is used to refer to structural failure of lead materials, which may or may not be identified clinically.
1 paź 2013 · Introduction. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) save lives in patients at risk for sudden death attributable to ventricular arrhythmias, pacemakers (PMs) have been improving symptoms in patients with bradyarrhythmias for decades, and, more recently, cardiac resynchronization devices have improved mortality, morbidity, and quality ...
1 gru 2014 · Clinical Presentation. In ICD patients, ventricular oversensing of rapid signals presents as oversensing alerts or inappropriate detection of VT/VF, often resulting in inappropriate shocks. In pacemaker-dependent patients it also presents as failure to deliver bradycardia pacing.
