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.

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 (..)

New Studies: AI Captures Electrocardiogram Patterns That Could Signal a Future Sudden Cardiac Arrest

DAIC

“The entire digital electrocardiogram signal performed significantly better than a few of its components,” said Chugh, who is also the Pauline and Harold Price Chair in Cardiac Electrophysiology Research and associate director in the Smidt Heart Institute. “We It cannot be treated with a defibrillator and often leads to death.

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.
