Pacemaker Leads, in Addition to Defibrillation Leads, Are Equally Capable of Measuring Intrathoracic Impedance for Heart Failure MonitoringIntroduction: Presently, intrathoracic impedance (ITI) measurements to monitor thoracic fluid status in the setting of HF are implemented using a RV ICD coil to can ...
Types: CRT-P: with pacemaker CRT-D: with defibrillator (used in majority of individuals with EF ≤ 35%, as there is often a concomitant indication for ICD)Benefits: ↑ LV systolic function ↑ LV reverse remodeling (LV size decreases) ↑ Myocardial contractility (without ↑ in myocardial...
Empiric ICD therapy, targeting the general population with mild to moderate heart failure, will maximize the impact of such a strategy to prevent sudden death and improve long-term survival. 展开 DOI: 10.1186/cvm-1-2-092 被引量: 9
Background Heart failure (HF) patients have a high risk of death, and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are effective in preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, a certain percentage of patients may not be immediate candidates for ICDs, particularly those having a short duration...
HRV relates to the regulation of the sinoatrial node, the natural pacemaker of the heart by the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system. An HRV assessment is based on the assumption that the beat-to-beat fluctuations in the rhythm of the heart provide us with ...

+ cardia = heart) is usually due to heart blockand the aging of the electrical wiring of the heart. This is no different than the aging of your home's electrical system; but instead of being able to rewire the heart, these conditions may need to be treated with an implantable pacemaker...
"Our study is the first to use MRI scans to determine whether patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy who have a defibrillator fitted do better than those who are given a pacemaker. "The findings show that the addition of a defibrillator would be very advantageous to patients who also have ...
