  2. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_cardioverter...

    Congestive heart failure patients that were implanted with an ICD had an all-cause death risk 23% lower than placebo and an absolute decrease in mortality of 7.2 percentage points after five years in the overall population. 1 Reporting in 1999, the Antiarrhythmics Versus Implantable Defibrillators (AVID) trial consisted of 1,016 patients, and ...

    Other factors affecting battery life include programmed output and algorithms (features) that use battery power. Any events that were stored since the last follow-up, in particular arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. These are typically stored based on specific criteria set by the physician and specific to the patient.

  4. Short QT syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_QT_syndrome

    The consequence of fibrillation is that the chambers of the heart affected by the disorganised electrical activation lose their pumping ability – fibrillation of the cardiac atria in atrial fibrillation leads to an irregular pulse, and fibrillation of the cardiac ventricles in ventricular fibrillation renders the heart unable to pump blood at ...

  5. Implantable loop recorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_loop_recorder

    An implantable loop recorder (ILR), also known as an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM), is a small device that is implanted under the skin of the chest for cardiac monitoring, to record the heart's electrical activity for an extended period.

  6. Ventricular assist device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_assist_device

    One device, the HeartMate XVE, is designed with a biologic surface derived from fibrin and does not require long term anticoagulation (except aspirin); unfortunately, this biologic surface may also predispose the patient to infection through selective reduction of certain types of leukocytes, however this device was phased out of use starting ...

  7. Wearable cardioverter defibrillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wearable_cardioverter...

    A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is a non-invasive, external device for patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). [1] It allows physicians time to assess their patient's arrhythmic risk and see if their ejection fraction improves before determining the next steps in patient care. It is a leased device.
