The wearable defibrillator: a most affordable vest
The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has become a cornerstone in the prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, as well as in survivors of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias and carriers of a genetic arrhythmia syndrome. Current guidelines recommend ICD implantation in patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction 35%, despit...
متن کاملThe Smart Vest: Towards a Next Generation Wearable Computing Platform
Researchers engaged in the field of wearable computer study have been restricted by the packaging that houses computing, storage and communications resources. A new design for a platform is described that is integrated into and compatible with everyday clothing. Soft, comfortable and flexible, the Smart Vest is a lining composed of a lightweight mesh that serves as a medium for integrating elec...
متن کاملThe Wearable Cardioverter/Defibrillator - Toy Or Tool?
After the success story of implantable cardioverter/defibrillator systems, prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains one of the main duties in cardiology. For patients with unkown or transient risk profile for SCD, a wearable cardioverter/defibrillator (WCD) has been established for temporary and effective prevention of sudden arrhythmic death. Several studies have shown safety and effic...
متن کاملRisk stratification for implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy: the role of the wearable cardioverter-defibrillator.
The benefit of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy depends upon appropriate evaluation of a persisting risk of sudden death and estimation of the patient's overall survival. Assessment of a stable and unchangeable arrhythmogenic substrate is often difficult. Structural abnormality and ventricular dysfunction, the two major risk parameters, may recover, and heart failure symptom...
متن کاملFirst experience with the wearable cardioverter defibrillator in the Netherlands
The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has significantly improved survival in patients with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is an alternative to the ICD in patients with a transient ICD indication or those in whom an ICD temporarily cannot be implanted. We describe here the technical details of the WCD and report three pat...
