Effect of antiarrhythmic drug therapy on the incidence of shocks in patients who receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator after a single episode of sustained ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation.
Seventy-four patients (16 women, 58 men, age 58 +/- 11 years, mean +/- standard deviation) who received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) after experiencing a single episode of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation were followed to determine if antiarrhythmic drug therapy affects the incidence of ICD discharges. Thirty-three patients (group A) were treated with an an...
متن کاملResults of electrophysiologic testing and long-term prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease and aborted sudden death.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of electrophysiologic testing and the long-term prognosis of 56 patients with coronary artery disease who presented with aborted sudden death unrelated to acute myocardial infarction. The mean age of the patients was 62 +/- 8 years (+/- standard deviation) and 48 were men. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 0.34 +/- 0.16. During...
متن کاملIs there a need for routine testing of ICD defibrillation capacity? Results from more than 1000 studies.
AIMS Benefits and complications of postoperative implantable cardioverter-defibrillator tests are controversial matters. This study sought to assess the necessity of defibrillation function tests after implantation. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively analysed 1007 implantable cardioverter-defibrillator tests in 587 systems and 556 patients. Nine hundred and thirty implantable cardioverter...
متن کاملEffects of electrophysiologic-guided therapy with Class IA antiarrhythmic drugs on the long-term outcome of patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation with or without the Brugada syndrome.
INTRODUCTION Implantation of a implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is viewed universally as the "gold standard" therapy for patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF). We sought to study the long-term value of electrophysiologic (EP)-guided therapy with Class IA antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with idiopathic VF with or without the Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS W...
متن کاملAntiarrhythmic drugs in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
Antiarrhythmic drugs need to be initiated in up to 70% of patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in order to treat atrial tachyarrhythmias, decrease the frequency of defibrillator shocks, and terminate ventricular arrhythmias along with antitachycardia pacing. trial fibrillation (AF) occurs in about 20% of patients with ICDs (the majority with congestive heart failure [CHF...
