Progressive decline across periods in mortality rates among patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Abstract Introduction Despite advancements in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) technology, sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a persistent public health concern. 001) and the combined outcome ( p = .009).
Despite prolonged resuscitation with multiple defibrillation attempts — the patient could not be saved. = Multifocal vs Polymorphic VT — September 23, 2011 post from Dr. S. That said, it does occur — and awareness of the entities associated with this diagnosis may be important in evaluation and treatment.
Methods and Results All consecutive patients ( n =264) with previous ICD who underwent LVAD surgery between May 2011 and December 2019 at our institution were included. ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative echocardiographic parameters for occurrence of VAs in patients with preexisting ICD undergoing LVAD implantation.
He underwent further standard resuscitation EXCEPT that we applied the Inspiratory Threshold Device ( ResQPod ) AND applied Dual Sequential Defibrillation (this simply means we applied 2 sets of pads, had 2 defib machines, and defibrillated with both with only a fraction of one second separating each defibrillation.
Methods Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing transvenous lead insertion for pacemakers, defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices between 2011 and 2023. Results Three thousand two hundred fifty-two patients underwent insertion of pacing leads between February 2011 and March 2023.
He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours. This time, the arrhythmia did not spontaneously terminate — but rather degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation. Some episodes of PMVT would terminate spontaneously — but on many occasions, the PMVT degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation.
She underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation for VT/VFib — with ROSC ( R eturn O f S pontaneous C irculation ) following defibrillation and treatment with Epinephrine and Amiodarone. The 12-lead ECG and long lead II rhythm strip shown in Figure-1 — was obtained from a previously healthy, elderly woman who collapsed in the hospital parking lot.
Although we lack details of events that followed Dr. Smith makes the key point that had this arrest witnessed by the medic team been the result of an acute cardiac event ( therefore, presumably VT or VFib ) prompt defibrillation by on-the-scene medics would most probably have resuscitated her.
Most patients can be managed without and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) In patients with PVCs/VT and a presentation not typical for an idiopathic origin cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) should be considered, even if the Echo is normal. ADDENDUM: Summary on the usual forms of idiopathic VT.
