New multi-society Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) published in JACC focus on cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), specifically implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and pacing.

The research reported in this paper adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki (2013) and the Common Rule (45 CFR 46), ensuring that ethical standards were upheld despite the research involving de-identified data from human subjects. In November 2022, de-identified data from S-ICD devices in the LATITUDE monitoring system were analyzed.

She was found to be in ventricular fibrillation and was defibrillated 8 times without a single, even transient, conversion out of fibrillation. She was immediately intubated during continued compressions, then underwent a 9th defibrillation, which resulted in an organized rhythm at 42 minutes after initial arrest. References : 1.

In the subgroup with Class 3 of recommendation for implantable cardioverter defibrillator, patients with absolute LV-GLS ≤ 9% showed significantly worse prognosis than those with absolute LV-GLS > 9% (p =.002 All study participants never received alcohol septal ablation or surgical myectomy during follow-up. vs -266.2; vs -264.9;

Arrhythmias : A leadless pacemaker-defibrillator system provides antitachycardia pacing for ventricular tachycardia in patients with subcutaneous ICDs. Preventive Cardiology : The new PREVENT risk calculator is more accurate than the 2013 PCEs’ ASCVD risk estimates and is recommended for risk stratification.

She was never seen to be in ventricular fibrillation and was never defibrillated. Medics found her apneic and pulseless, began CPR, and she was found to be in asystole. With ventilations and epinephrine, she regained a pulse. She was hypotensive in the ED and her bedside echo showed a normal RV and LV. BP gradually rose.

Cardioversion/defibrillation. This definition was changed following an expert consensus panel in 2013 — so that at the present time, all that is needed to diagnose Brugada Syndrome is a spontaneous or induced Brugada-1 ECG pattern, without need for additional criteria. Acute febrile illness. Variations in autonomic tone. Hypothermia.
