The purpose of this Consensus Statement is to focus on implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) deactivation in patients with irreversible or terminal illness. This statement summarizes the opinions Task Force members, convened by European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) and Society (HRS), based ethical legal principles, as well their own clinical, scientific, technical experience. It directed all healthcare professionals who treat implanted ICDs, nearing end life, order improve patient...
The presence of a cardiovascular implantable electronic device has long been contraindication for the performance magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We established prospective registry to determine risks associated with MRI at field strength 1.5 tesla patients who had pacemaker or cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) that was "non-MRI-conditional" (i.e., not approved by Food and Drug Administration scanning).Patients in were referred clinically indicated nonthoracic tesla. Devices interrogated...
The risks of sports participation for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients are unknown.Athletes with ICDs (age, 10-60 years) participating in organized (n=328) or high-risk (n=44) were recruited. Sports-related and clinical data obtained by phone interview medical records. Follow-up occurred every 6 months. ICD shock outcomes adjudicated 2 electrophysiologists. Median age was 33 years (89 subjects <20 age); 33% female. Sixty competitive athletes (varsity/junior...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic that wreaking havoc on the health and economy of much human civilization. Electrophysiologists have been impacted personally professionally by this catastrophe. In joint article from representatives Heart Rhythm Society, American College Cardiology, Association, we identify potential risks exposure to patients, allied healthcare staff, industry representatives, hospital administrators. We also describe impact COVID-19 cardiac...
Cardiac involvement among hospitalized patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is common and associated adverse outcomes. This study aimed to determine the prevalence clinical implications of COVID-19 cardiac in young competitive athletes.In this prospective, multicenter, observational cohort data from 42 colleges universities, we assessed prevalence, characteristics, outcomes collegiate athletes United States. Data were collected September 1, 2020, December 31, 2020. The...
AMI : acute myocardial infarction ARVC : arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy BrS : Brugada syndrome CACS : coronary artery calcium score CAD : disease ChD : Chagas heart disease CMR : cardiac magnetic resonance CPVT : catecholaminergic polymorphic tachycardia CTCA : computed tomography angiography CV : cardiovascular DCM : dilated cardiomyopathy EAPCR : European Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation HCM : hypertrophic cardiomyopathy LGE : late gadolinium...
Importance Whether vigorous intensity exercise is associated with an increase in risk of ventricular arrhythmias individuals hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) unknown. Objective To determine whether engagement increased for and/or mortality HCM. The a priori hypothesis was that participants engaging activity were not more likely to have arrhythmic event or die than those who reported nonvigorous activity. Design, Setting, and Participants This investigator-initiated, prospective cohort...
Abstract There is an increasing proportion of the general population surviving to old age with significant chronic disease, multi-morbidity, and disability. The prevalence pre-frail state frailty syndrome increases exponentially advancing associated greater morbidity, disability, hospitalization, institutionalization, mortality, health care resource use. Frailty represents a global problem, making early identification, evaluation, treatment prevent cascade events leading from functional...
Observational studies have suggested that psychological stress increases the incidence of sudden cardiac death. Whether emotional or physical stressors can trigger spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias in patients at risk has not been systematically evaluated.Patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) were given diaries to record levels defined mood states and activity, using a 5-point intensity scale, during 2 periods preceding spontaneously occurring ICD shocks (0 15...
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) can prevent premature death from an arrhythmia but may also prolong the dying process and make it more distressing.To describe frequency, timing, correlates of discussions about deactivating ICDs.Retrospective cohort study.Telephone survey.Next kin patients with ICDs who died any cause. Of 136 next contacted, 100 (74%) participated.Incidence timing last shock ICD.Next reported that clinicians discussed ICD in only 27 cases. Most occurred few...
The incidence of sudden cardiac death increases in populations who experience disasters such as earthquakes. physiological link between psychological stress and is unknown; one mechanism may be the direct effects sympathetic arousal on arrhythmias. To determine whether mental alters induction, rate, or termination ventricular arrhythmias, we performed noninvasive programmed stimulation (NIPS) patients with defibrillators tachycardia (VT), which known to inducible terminated by...
Background: Syncopal episodes are common among older adults; etiologies range from benign to life threatening.We determined the frequency, yield, and costs of tests obtained evaluate persons with syncope.We also calculated cost per test yield whether San Francisco syncope rule (SFSR) improved yield.Methods: Review 2106 consecutive patients 65 years or admitted following a syncopal episode.Results: Electrocardiograms (in 99% admissions), telemetry 95%), cardiac enzyme head computed...
Background: Transvenous lead extraction is an integral part of management patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices. Real-world incidence and predictors perioperative complications in extractions involving cardioverter-defibrillator leads have not been described detail. Methods Results: Data from the National Cardiovascular Registry Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator were analyzed. Lead was defined as removal implanted for >1 year. Predictors major all procedures (11...
