Dual-chamber pacing or ventricular backup pacing in patients with an implantable defibrillator: the Dual Chamber and VVI Implantable Defibrillator (DAVID) Trial.
CONTEXT Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy with backup ventricular pacing increases survival in patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Most currently implanted ICD devices provide dual-chamber pacing therapy. The most common comorbid cause for mortality in this population is congestive heart failure. OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of dual-chamber pacing...
متن کاملAtrial Sensing and Blanking in Dual-Chamber Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators
Atrial Sensing and Blanking in Dual-Chamber Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators Accurate atrial sensing during tachycardia is essential for reliable determination of atrial rate, which is a critical component of interval-based dual-chamber supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)–VT discrimination algorithms. Thus, atrial sensing in dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) must...
متن کاملImplantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with dextrocardia situs inversus
Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...
متن کاملUnnecessary shock from an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator following transcutaneous pacing.
As the population ages and cardiovascular disease becomes more prevalent, an increasing number of patients are receiving implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). When these patients present to the emergency department, it is imperative that physicians are not only aware of the possible underlying medical issues that may have precipitated their admission but should also have a good unders...
متن کاملEfficacy of pacing therapies for treating atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with ventricular arrhythmias receiving a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
BACKGROUND Although overdrive pacing for treating atrial flutter is well established, the efficacy of device-based atrial pacing for treating spontaneous atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) is unknown. This study evaluated the efficacy of novel pacing therapies for treating atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients receiving a dual-chamber ICD to tre...
