Breaking Tradition in ICD-10 Testing

ثبت نشده
چکیده

In most cases, determining payer readiness for an ICD-10 transition involves traditional system testing. The results of this strategy, however, do not completely reflect the widespread impact of ICD-10 on a payer’s business operations. A nontraditional testing approach is also required to understand and address ICD-10’s comprehensive effects on a healthcare organization’s people, processes, partners and IT portfolio (see Figure 1, next page).

Level of Serum Enzymes and Electrocardiogram in Healthy Rabbits after Injection of ICD-85 as an Anticancer Agent

Background: Our previous in vivo studies confirmed that ICD-85, as an anticancer agent, was able to prevent further growth of breast tumors and expand the life expectancy of mice with breast cancer. Methods: Blood collection was carried out before, 1, 3, and 6 hours after ICD-85 injection. Sera were used to determinate the cardio and hepatic enzymes levels, including ALT, AST, LDH, CPK, and Ck-...

ICD Shock, Not Ventricular Fibrillation, Causes Elevation of High Sensitive Troponin T after Defibrillation Threshold Testing—The Prospective, Randomized, Multicentre TropShock-Trial

BACKGROUND The placement of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has become routine practice to protect high risk patients from sudden cardiac death. However, implantation-related myocardial micro-damage and its relation to different implantation strategies are poorly characterized. METHODS A total of 194 ICD recipients (64±12 years, 83% male, 95% primary prevention of sudden cardi...

Defibrillation testing is not required during routine ICD implantation.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major cause of mortality throughout the world, accounting for 300 000 deaths per year in the USA. The introduction of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in the 1980s significantly reduced the risk of SCD by terminating life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Subsequent clinical trials confirmed the survival benefit with implanted ICDs in at-r...

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator with and without defibrillation threshold testing.

BACKGROUND Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing at the time of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) insertion is performed routinely. This practice is being reconsidered due to doubts about its ability to improve ICD efficacy and evidence that survival may not be affected by the test. OBJECTIVES To compare the outcome of ICD recipients who underwent DFT testing and those who did not...

Cytotoxicity of ICD-85 NPs on Human Cervical Carcinoma HeLa Cells through Caspase-8 Mediated Pathway

The biological application of nanoparticles (NPs) is a rapidly developing area of nanotechnology that raises new possibilities in the treatment of human cancers. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT and LDH assays. The apoptotic effect of free ICD-85 and ICD-85 NPs on HeLa cells was assessed using caspase-8 colorimetric assay. The MTT assay showed that ICD-85 NPs could enhance the in-vitro cyt...
