This randomized clinical trial assesses whether cardioverter-defibrillator implantation is more effective than amiodarone therapy for the primary prevention of all-cause mortality and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death, hospitalization for heart failure, and use of a pacemaker among patients with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy.

A heart attack is a life-threatening condition, with patients remaining at risk of premature death long after the actual attack—50% to 60% of patients die subsequently as a result of sudden cardiac death, triggered by cardiac arrhythmia.

The following are key points to remember from a review article on cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), which include pacemakers for bradycardia, biventricular pacemakers for heart failure, and implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) for the treatment of sudden cardiac death:

Pathogenic genetic variants in the HCN4 (hyperpolarisation-activated and cyclic nucleotide-gated channel) gene can cause sinus node dysfunction, disrupting the function of the pacemaker region of the heart. Patients with such variants can present with a wide spectrum of arrhythmias but sudden death is generally considered rare.

CS has a range of clinical syndromes: impaired conduction, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. She underwent pacemaker implantation with mild improvement of symptoms. She underwent surgical resection of the cardiac mass. cm in size.

Isoprenalin was discontinued, and a temporary transveous pacemaker was implanted. The patient stabilized following pacemaker placement. SCD (sudden cardiac death) from sarcoid heart disease is thought to be caused by either from high-grade AV block or VT. The above ECG initially shows AV block.
