Defibrillators can be external, transvenous, or implanted (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator), depending on the type of device used or needed. (wikipedia.org)
Pain from pacemaker and ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) implant surgery remains a problem both in terms of severity and longevity. (bjcardio.co.uk)
Pacemakers2
INTRODUCTION: Long-term complication rates in standard transvenous pacemakers are reported around 4-12% with a higher incidence in the elderly population. (bvsalud.org)
Indications for the use of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have become more defined over time, resulting in many more patients receiving these devices. (bjcardio.co.uk)
External defibrillators4
Some external units, known as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), automate the diagnosis of treatable rhythms, meaning that lay responders or bystanders are able to use them successfully with little or no training. (wikipedia.org)
Manual external defibrillators require the expertise of a healthcare professional. (wikipedia.org)
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are designed for use by untrained or briefly trained laypersons. (wikipedia.org)
Trained health professionals have more limited use for AEDs than manual external defibrillators. (wikipedia.org)
Pacemaker2
Occasionally, a temporary transvenous pacemaker must be inserted. (msdmanuals.com)
1 Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedure is the term used to encompass pacemaker and ICD implant surgery. (bjcardio.co.uk)
Patients4
Concern regarding use of hydroxychloroquine without adequate rhythm monitoring in clinical trials has been recently expressed.1 A review of clinicaltrials.gov at the time of submission of this correspondence reveals actively recruiting trials of combined hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin with or without additional COVID-19 therapies, for both ambulatory and hospitalized patients within and outside the US.

Methods From November 2022 through February 2023, the Cholinet registry enrolled patients receiving inclisiran due to elevated LDL-C levels in Italian centers as part of their medical therapy. (researchgate.net)
However, many patients with cardiac implantable fonctions cardiaques et non cardiaques. (bvsalud.org)
BACKGROUND: Device patients may require upgrade interventions from simpler to more complex cardiac implantable electronic devices. (bvsalud.org)
Heart failure2
Signs and symptoms related to rapid heart rate are altered sensorium, angina, shortness of breath, myocardial infarction, hypotension and other signs of shock (eg cold clammy skin, low urine output), heart failure or pulmonary congestion. (mims.com)
The resulting increase in pulmonary venous pressure and reduction in cardiac output cause congestive heart failure. (justia.com)
CIED1
A retrospective study of 322 patient experiences of post-operative pain, short term and long term, following a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedure. (bjcardio.co.uk)
Radiofrequency1
We aimed to explore target LI measurements at each radiofrequency application (RFA) for creating sufficient ablation lesions during pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. (authorea.com)
Concomitant1
Baseline characteristics, concomitant therapies, blood chemistry, were recorded at the time of first prescription and at follow-up. (researchgate.net)
Defibrillation1
The defibrillation device that is usually available out of the medical centers is the automated external defibrillator (AED), a portable machine that can be used even by users with no previous training. (wikipedia.org)
Arrhythmias1
citation needed] In the United States, many advanced EMTs and all paramedics are trained to recognize lethal arrhythmias and deliver appropriate electrical therapy with a manual defibrillator when appropriate. (wikipedia.org)
Procedure1
There also exist written instructions of defibrillators that explain the procedure step-by-step. (wikipedia.org)
Interventions1
Prior to upgrading interventions, clinicians need to balance the risks and benefits of transvenous lead extraction (TLE), additional lead implantation or lead abandonment. (bvsalud.org)
Surgery1
citation needed] An internal defibrillator is often used to defibrillate the heart during or after cardiac surgery such as a heart bypass. (wikipedia.org)
Unresponsive1
Myectomy is used in those who are unresponsive to drug therapy. (4hcm.org)
Function1
CPR is an algorithm-based intervention aimed to restore cardiac and pulmonary function. (wikipedia.org)
High1
Combined use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin was globally adopted, in part due to paucity and high cost of alternative therapies. (authorea.com)
Subcutaneous6
The substernal-lead system could potentially be only 2 years away from market approval, Crozier said, when it would possibly join the ranks of the transvenous- and subcutaneous-lead devices. (medscape.com)
I think this is the next-generator defibrillator, because it avoids the risks of transvenous leads and is an improvement on the subcutaneous device," he said. (medscape.com)
The transvenous ICD-lead systems and later the subcutaneous-lead system represented two important milestones in evolution toward a practical, effective implantable defibrillator, observed Sanjeev Saksena, MBBS, MD, RWJ Barnabas Health, Warren, New Jersey, as invited discussant after Crozier's formal presentation. (medscape.com)
With such a limited first experience, whether the current substernal-lead system proves safe and effective enough to be an alternative to transvenous- and subcutaneous-lead systems remains an open question, observed Bruce L. Wilkoff, MD, Cleveland Clinic, in an interview. (medscape.com)
If the current substernal-lead system proves successful, he said, it's likely to peacefully coexist with the transvenous- and subcutaneous-lead designs. (medscape.com)
This will include multi-chamber leadless pacing systems, left ventricular resynchronisation systems and a combination with a subcutaneous defibrillator. (escardio.org)
Transcatheter1
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) with the Harmony valve (Medtronic, Inc.) was recently approved to treat postoperative native outflow tract pulmonary regurgitation. (stanfordchildrens.org)
Leadless1
Reports from recent non-randomized studies have shown encouraging short-term results that hold the promise of leadless pacing and suggest the potential value of the next generation of devices in the future of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). (escardio.org)
Cardiac3
CPR is an algorithm-based intervention aimed to restore cardiac and pulmonary function. (wikipedia.org)

Rapid advances have been made over the past five decades, including dual-chamber pacing, rate response algorithms, remote control devices, improved battery technology and cardiac resynchronisation therapy. (escardio.org)

Device2
The defibrillation device that is usually available out of the medical centers is the automated external defibrillator (AED), a portable machine that can be used even by users with no previous training. (wikipedia.org)
Crozier said "there's no reason to think that the infection rate would be any higher than a transvenous device. (medscape.com)
Leads2
however, it is now more than 50 years since transvenous leads were developed and first used with implantable devices [2]. (escardio.org)
In addition, transvenous leads provide a portal into the vascular space, which increases the risk of infection. (escardio.org)
Systems3
The substernal-lead ICD may be the next step "on the path to a wholly extracardiac ICD system," said Saksena, an early pioneer of transvenous-lead systems. (medscape.com)
I think this will go through the same evolutionary pathway as other implantable defibrillator systems: we start with a prototype system, the technology gets refined, we get new ideas on how to overcome the obstacles. (medscape.com)
Also, it will take a much longer follow-up to determine whether its associated infection risk is any lower than with transvenous systems "because there will be infections, eventually," Wilkoff said. (medscape.com)
Require1
Thus, some patients may require intravenous iron therapy. (medilib.ir)
