Atrial 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 کاملOversensing of atrial fibrillatory waves in a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
Introduction Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have been shown to improve survival in patients with ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathy when used for primary and secondary prevention settings. The limitations of transvenous ICDs include postimplant adverse events, defibrillator lead failure, and inappropriate shocks for atrial tachyarrhythmias due to fast ventricular response ra...

Arrhythmias in children are the enemy of any medical emergency. Different mechanisms should be very dangerous in particular for its adaptation mechanisms. Tachyarrhythmias (extrasistols, supraventricular tachycardia SVT, permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardias, ventricular tachycardias). Bradyarrhythmias (atrioventricular blocks) and channel...
متن کاملInappropriate cardioverter-defibrillator discharge continues to be a major problem in clinical practice.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the rate and causes of inappropriate rhythm detection, and to compare adequacy of ventricular arrhythmia detection by single-chamber and dual-chamber cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD). METHODS We evaluated 190 patients (age 57.2 +/- 11.2 years) with ICD. FOLLOW-UP 34.3 +/- +/- 22 months. Dual-chamber ICD was used in 54 patients. RESULT...
متن کاملTrouble Shooting of ICD Therapy: Inappropriate Shock
Patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) can undergo inappropriate therapies (shock or antitachycardia pacing) if electrical activity not originating in the ventricle is wrongly recognized as ventricular by the device. Inappropriate therapy leading to shocks is not innocuous; consequences include pain and its psychological sequelae, particularly anxiety, as well as inductio...
