However, absent any published data, the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM), in its 2009 position statement, advises against the use of repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) in the proximal arm in patients with any such device. For the first time, we now ...
Postoperative tests of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are routinely performed to ensure appropriate defibrillation by the device. However, efficacy and complications of this procedure are unknown. To scrutinize the currently accepted indications to test the defibrillation function of the ICD ...
Patients with animplantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD) should be warned that some newer models of smartphones equipped with magnets, such as the iPhone 12, can disable their device, inhibiting its lifesaving functions, according to investigators who tested and confirmed this effect. "Once the iP...
The implanted cardiac defibrillator: the implanted cardiac defibrillator [ICD] is a reliable, cost-effective device designed to sustain the life of clients who have been diagnosed with heart failure or life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias; that have the potential of causing sudden cardiac death.(focus...
The aim of this study was to evaluate bleeding complications associated with implantation or replacement of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) in patients with a ventricular assisted device (VAD) in whom continuous anticoagulation is required. ...
Venous complications associated with pacemaker and ICD leads are an important consequence of cardiac device implantation. At present, anticoagulation remains the mainstay of therapy to restore some degree of patency and relieve swelling. Device-based approaches for the removal of clot and the dilation ...
the participants received an ICD because they had been deemed athigh riskforsudden cardiac death. Risk factors included having already experienced heart failure, or having suffered a severe weakening of the heart's ability to sufficiently pump blood. The other half did not have the device ...
Medtronic’s latestadvisoryapplies to all of models of its Brava CRT-D, Evera MRI ICD, Evera ICD, Mirro MRI ICD, Primo MRI ICD, and Viva CRT-D. The impacted protocol is designed to perform the remote monitoring of the device, as well as display and print real-ti...
Christian Eriksen, 29, will be fitted with an implantable device to monitor his heart rhythm, the Danish soccer federation said Thursday.
To this end, 119 patients were surveyed retrospectively and interviewed concurrently regarding their emotional, physical, and behavioral responses to ICD shocks and to the device itself. Most (55%) correctly estimated the total number of shocks they had received within a 10% margin. They found ...
