Driving restrictions in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators and pacemakers

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) improve the survival in patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. However, these patients have an ongoing risk of sudden incapacitation that may cause harm to individuals and others when driving. Considerable disagreement exists about whether and when these patients should be allowed to resume driving after ICD therapies. This information is critic...

Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators Implantation Without Defibrillation Threshold Testing: A Single Center Experience

Background Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) system has been proven to be an effective therapy for prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in selected patients. Although the Shockless IMPLant Evaluation (SIMPLE) trial has shown that defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing is not necessary for transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) systems, it is still recommended for S-ICD systems. ...

Single Event Upsets in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

Single event upsets (SEU) have been observed in implantable cardiac defibrillators. The incidence of SEUs is well modeled by upset rate calculations attributable to the secondary cosmic ray neutron flux. The effect of recent interpretations of the shape of the heavy ion cross-section curve on neutron burst generation rate calculations is discussed. The model correlates well with clinical experi...

Driving With Cardiovascular Disease: The Impact of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators on Driver Safety

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. With America’s workforce rapidly aging, more attention is being placed on CVD and its treatment among employees in safety sensitive occupations, such as the transportation industry. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are increasingly being used to treat certain cardiovascular conditions, but despite the...
