The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has be- come a cornerstone in the prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with ischaemic and non-ischaemic car- diomyopathy, as well as in survivors of idiopathic ven- tricular arrhythmias and carriers of a genetic arrhythmia syndrome. Current...
integrated into the vest. If a life-threatening arrhythmia is detected, the nonadhesive therapeutic electrodes release a conductive gel to the skin and deliver a shock to the heart. Prior to shock delivery a tactile vibratory, visual light; 2- stage audible noise alarm; and bystander warning ...
We should pay attention to the size of the vest, and careful observation could reduce the damage to the wound. 展开 关键词: wearable cardioverter defibrillator subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator wound dehiscence DOI: 10.1093/ehjcr/ytae683 年份: 2024 ...
This escalating prevalence of arrhythmia generates demand for automated external defibrillators, propelling the growth of the analyzed market over the forecast period. In addition, the rising incidence of cardiovascular disease-related deaths contributes to the expansion of the market. Further, the ...

A decision on eligibility for ICD implantation for primary prevention of SCD will be made after clinical and echocardiographic follow-up after scheduled readmission. Due to the high risk of life-threatening arrhythmia, the patient was secured with the Zoll LifeVest system until qualification for ...
Sensors 2022, 22, 22 15 of 18 Another potential downside from the vest device is the arrhythmia detection and treatment algorithm, which produce a high number of inadequate alarms. The false alarms originate primarily from motion artefacts and usually can be handled by the patients after thorough...
