The study utilised a computer generated random sample of Irish general practitioners and involved a postal questionnaire, with telephone follow up of non-responders.

متن کاملThe Automatic External Cardioverter-Defibrillator
In-hospital cardiac arrest remains a major problem but new technologies allowing fully automatic external defibrillation are available. These technologies allow the concept of "external therapeutic monitoring" of lethal arrhythmias. Since early defibrillation improves outcome by decreasing morbidity and mortality, the use of this device should improve the outcome of in-hospital cardiac arrest v...
متن کاملContributions of remote monitoring to the follow-up of implantable cardioverter–defibrillator leads under advisory
AIMS Automatic daily transmission of data from implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) enables the remote monitoring of device status and leads function. We report on a 2-year experience with remote monitoring in 40 recipients of high-voltage ICD leads, prone to fracture and under advisory since October 2007. METHODS AND RESULTS The ICDs were remotely monitored as well as systematicall...
متن کاملManaging patients with advisory defibrillator leads: what can we learn from published data?
Defibrillator lead advisories stir a lot of emotions, both with patients and physicians, and this may influence lead management. We reviewed the literature for a more evidence-based approach to this issue.From the complications of two of the current advisory leads, the Medtronic Sprint Fidelis and St. Jude Riata leads, and the consequences of possible interventions, we can conclude that a restr...
متن کاملImplications of the Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial-II.
TO THE EDITOR: Dr. Al-Khatib and colleagues (1) are to be commended for their evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in the Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial (MADIT)-II. At 20 months, mortality was 14.2% in the ICD group and 19.8% in the controls, an absolute difference of 5.6 percentage points (2). The cost of treatment in th...
