Implantable 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 کاملImplantable cardioverter defibrillator outcome: beyond ejection fraction?
Over three decades of clinical experience have brought evidence that implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) should be considered as ‘gold standard’ therapy in prevention of sudden cardiac death. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators are currently indicated for secondary prevention in patients after cardiac arrest and life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias or for primary prevent...
متن کاملThe implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have evolved from the treatment of last resort to the gold standard therapy for patients at high risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias. High-risk patients include those who have survived life-threatening arrhythmias, and individuals with cardiac diseases who are at risk for such arrhythmias, but are symptomless. Use of an ICD will affect the patien...
متن کاملThe effect of education based on Orem’s self-care model on emotional reactions in patients with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
Abstract Aim. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of education based on Orem’s self-care model on emotional reactions in people with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD). Background. ICD shock is unpredictable and associated with physical pain. After receiving shock, some patients find serious psychological problems such as anxiety, depression and stress. According to Or...
متن کاملSubcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
or nearly 3 decades, the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been available to patients who survived life-threatening rapid heart rhythms or are at risk of experiencing them. The ICD comprises a device generator coupled with a defibrillation lead. Traditional ICDs are implanted under the skin with the generator positioned beneath the collar bone. The defibrilla-tion lead is inserte...
