Novel ICD Programming and Inappropriate ICD Therapy in CRT-D Versus ICD Patients: A MADIT-RIT Sub-Study.
BACKGROUND The Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial-Reduce Inappropriate therapy (MADIT-RIT) trial showed a significant reduction in inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in patients programmed to high-rate cut-off (Arm B) or delayed ventricular tachycardia therapy (Arm C), compared with conventional programming (Arm A). There is limited data on th...
متن کاملOptimal programming management of ventricular tachycardia storm in ICD patients
Ventricular tachycardia storm (VTS) is defined as a life-threatening syndrome of three or more separate episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) leading to implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy within 24 hours. Patients with VTS have poor outcomes and require immediate medical attention. ICD shocks have been shown to be associated with increased mortality in several studies. Opti...
متن کاملProspective Randomized Evaluation of Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Programming in Patients With a Left Ventricular Assist Device
BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmias are common in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) but are often hemodynamically tolerated. Optimal implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) tachy-programming strategies in patients with LVAD have not been determined. We sought to determine if an ultra-conservative ICD programming strategy in patients with LVAD affects ICD shocks. METHOD...
متن کاملUse of implantable cardioverter defibrillators in patients with left ventricular assist devices.
Patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are at high risk of sustained ventricular arrhythmias, but these may be remarkably well tolerated and the association with sudden death is unclear. Many patients who receive an LVAD already have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). While it is standard practice to reactivate a previously implanted ICD in an LVAD recipient, this s...
متن کاملReduction in inappropriate therapy and mortality through ICD programming.
BACKGROUND The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is highly effective in reducing mortality among patients at risk for fatal arrhythmias, but inappropriate ICD activations are frequent, with potential adverse effects. METHODS We randomly assigned 1500 patients with a primary-prevention indication to receive an ICD with one of three programming configurations. The primary objective w...
