Cardiovascular disease (ICD-10: I00鈥揑99) was listed as the underlying cause of death, and mechanical complication of the cardiac electronic device (ICD-10: T82.1) was stated as the contributing cause of death. We calculated age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 1,000,000 individuals. ...
OHCD is defined as deaths occurring out of the hospital or in the emergency room or as "dead on arrival" with an underlying cause of death reported as a cardiac disease (ICD10 code 100 to 109, 113, 120 to 151, or Q20 to Q24). Death rates were calculated for residents of the US...
ImportanceApproximately 350,000 Americans still die of sudden cardiac death each year. This exceeds the number of patients who die annually from stroke, lung cancer, breast cancer and AIDS combined.ObjectiveThis review aims to trace the history of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) with re...
CCTA demonstrated lower rates of a composite of cardiac death, MI, unstable angina, late symptom-driven revascularization, and chest pain readmission when compared to standard care utilizing bicycle exercise ECG or MPI (11% vs 16%, p=0.04; HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.40-0.98). Additionally, when look...
Information about causes of death was obtained through the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics and coded according to the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9 codes).26International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes 410 through 429 identify all cardiac deaths, ...
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD):For people whose risk factors put them at great risk for sudden cardiac death, an ICD may be inserted as a preventive treatment. An ICD is a small machine similar to a pacemaker that is designed to correct arrhythmias. It detects and then corrects ...
Using cause-specific Cox proportional hazard regression models, we estimated multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95%CIs for incident arrhythmias, and defined death due to non-cardiac causes as a potential competing event. The fully-adjusted multivariable model accounted for matching factors ...

Sudden cardiac deathis defined as an abrupt, unexpected death of cardiovascular cause withloss of consciousnesswithin 1 hour of onset of symptoms [1,2]. Aborted sudden death occurs if spontaneous circulation is restored, which may lead to long-term morbidity [2]. In either situation, there is...
BACKGROUND Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks have been associated with an increased risk of death. It is unknown whether this is due to the ventricular arrhythmia (VA) or shocks and whether antitachycardia pacing (ATP) termination can reduce this risk. OBJECTIVE The purpose of thi...
