The impact of supraventricular arrhythmias on the outcomes of guideline?compliant implantable cardioverter defibrillator programming

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

The impact of supraventricular arrhythmias on the outcomes of guideline-compliance implantable cardioverter defibrillators programming. A greater magnitude of reduced ICD therapy was found in those with supraventricular arrhythmias.

Managing ventricular arrhythmias and implantable cardiac defibrillator shocks after left ventricular assist device implantation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

However, ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are common, are mostly secondary to underlying myocardial scar, and have a higher incidence in patients with pre-LVAD VA.

Ten years of subcutaneous defibrillator therapy: Consolidated clinical evidence and future perspectives

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) was developed as an alternative to the traditional transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (TV-ICD), aiming to provide easier implantation, simplified detection algorithm of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and prevention from placing components in the cardiovascular (..)

Echocardiographic Predictors of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices and Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative echocardiographic parameters for occurrence of VAs in patients with preexisting ICD undergoing LVAD implantation. 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.

Ventricular Tachycardia Management

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Ventricular tachycardia is a potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmia. Chronic recurrent monomorphic VT like fascicular tachycardia and right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia are also amenable to electrophysiological mapping and ablation. If the rate is very fast, hemodynamic deterioration can occur rapidly.

Artificial Intelligence Model Predicts Sudden Cardiac Arrest Manifesting With Pulseless Electric Activity Versus Ventricular Fibrillation

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:There is no specific treatment for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) manifesting as pulseless electric activity (PEA) and survival rates are low; unlike ventricular fibrillation (VF), which is treatable by defibrillation.
