An ICD/pacemaker device provides a shocking pulse whenever it senses cardiac activity indicative ventricular fibrillation by standard means and a unique algorithm to respond to low amplitude ventricular fibrillation that would not be expected to be recognized/sensed by standard means. The ICD/pacemaker ...
There are also combination devices calledautomated implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (AICDs)that contain both a pacemaker and adefibrillator. In addition to regulating heart rhythm, AICDs deliver a jolt of electricity when needed to correct ventriculartachycardiaorventricular fibrillation(irregular heartb...

Won't i need apacemakeror a permanent internal defibrillator? 我不需要个心脏起博器或是内部的永久去纤颤器? 电影对白 Mr. Brown has been wearing apacemakerfor the last eight years. 布朗先生在过去8年里一直戴着起搏器. 期刊摘选 To SSS patients, AAIpacemakeris a cheap , easy to use and effect...
too slow, or irregularly. This is calledarrhythmia, and if left untreated – especially in emergency situations – it can cause a range of complications and potentially be fatal. Defibrillators and surgically implanted pacemakers can get the rhythms back on track, but those aren’t always on han...
Insertion of ventricular leads has been performed to enable atrial tachycardia detection algorithms, and to avoid reoperation in the setting of later development of atrioventricular block; multisite ventricular leads (resynchronization) or epicardial ventricular defibrillator leads may also be required (Fig...
The defibrillator is a further example of a more recent implantable stimulating device. That system is designed to terminate arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia, by application of one or more properly timed electrical pulses to the appropriate part of the heart. The defibrillator...
The in-person follow-up of a patient with a CRT pacemaker (CRT-P) or a CRT defibrillator (CRT-D) device includes the previous steps, similar to a PM or an ICD device, respectively, plus: • Assessment of counters for evaluating if 95% to 100% ventricular pacing has been deliver...
This device is contraindicated in patients who have a separate implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) with transvenous leads. Unipolar pacing or use of the MV/Respiratory Sensor with a Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (S-ICD) is contraindicated because it may cause inappropriate th...
After the wounds healing, repeated induced ventricular tachycardias in all patients, who received a combination of the systems, could be terminated by the antitachycardial pacemaker prior to an intervention of the implanted defibrillator. 展开
