Unscheduled Emergency Visits after Cardiac Devices Implantation: Comparison between
Cardioverter Defibrillators and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Devices in less than
one year of Follow Up
Abstract:Background
The use of Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED), such as the
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) and Cardiac Resynchronization
Therapy (CRT), is increasing. The number of leads may vary according to the
device. Lead placement in the left ventricle increases surgical time and may
be associated with greater morbidity after hospital discharge, an event that
is often confused with the underlying disease severity.
