3/17 What Happens Your heart has an electrical system that keeps it beating regularly. Cardiac arrest can strike if the electrical signals go haywire and cause an irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia. There are different types of arrhythmias, and most aren’t dangerous. One called ventricular fibri...
Detection and delineation of suspected coronary anomalies in young persons (less than 40 years of age) with suggestive symptoms (e.g., angina, syncope, arrhythmia, and exertional dyspnea without other known etiology of these symptoms in children and adults; dyspnea, tachypnea, wheezing, periods of...
Nielsen and colleagues (2019) stated that an effective way of preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the use of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). In spite of the potential mortality benefits of receiving an ICD device, psychological problems experienced by patients after receiving an...
Ventricular Arrhythmia, ICD Therapy And Sudden Cardiac Death Among Patients With CRT From CUBIC RegistryYoji Okamoto, MD
ICDsecondary preventionventricular arrhythmiaIntroduction: In patients with a prior myocardial infarction (MI) but preserved LV function, sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VA) may arise in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It is unknown whether an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (...
Ventricular arrhythmiaCardiac arrestWe investigated the validity of hospital discharge diagnosis regarding ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. We identified patients whose record in the PHARMO record linkage system database showed a code for ventricular or unspecified cardiac arrhythmias according to ...
sudden cardiac death, ICD, wideband, cardiac T1 mapping, ECV, myocardial fibrosis, heart failurePurposeTo develop and evaluate a wideband arrhythmia-insensitive-rapid (AIR) pulse sequence for cardiac T1 mapping without image artifacts induced by implantable-cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)....
However, complications including lethal ventricular arrhythmia, pump failure, outflow tract obstruction, cardiac rupture, and systemic embolization may occur in the acute phase and cause morbidity and mortality. The overlapping of clinical features between TTC and ACS makes particularly critical the early...
The most frequent etiology of SCD in CA is pulseless electrical activity or bradyarrhythmia due to electromechanical dissociation, rather than VT, and therefore, it is important to identify the subset of patients that would get benefit from ICD placement [47,53]. ICD implantation in CA remains ...
As T1 mapping is a relatively new technology, only five studies analyzing the role of T1 times and ECV in the context of ventricular arrhythmia in HCM have been published so far. At present, the general picture emerging from these studies is unclear. Among these five studies, three reported ...
