Primary prevention trials of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy have generally excluded patients early after revascularization. Clinicians are commonly faced with patients who have ventricular dysfunction and nonsustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia developing shortly after revascularization. Since there are no evidence-based guidelines, management is currently at the discretion...
In the absence of comparative studies, recommended routine follow-up (FU) intervals for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients range from 1 to 6 months; most patients are followed at 3 month intervals.Six hundred and eighteen ICD patients were routinely seen 4 weeks after implant and then every 3 months. Unplanned visits (UPV) were either patient initiated or due to manufacturer recalls...
Extensive defibrillation threshold testing is no longer necessary to perform as devices have become more effective. We assessed the lowest effective defibrillation (LED) level at implantation and before hospital discharge and related this to outcome.One hundred and twenty-seven consecutive patients with biphasic shock and active can devices were studied at intraoperative and predischarge testing....
