“…anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation, pacing in bradycardia, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) when QRS complex is prolonged). Several studies have also demonstrated that QRS duration or left bundle branch block (LBBB) can predict the risk of death in patients with chronic and decompensated HF [2][3][4][5]. Prolonged QTc (especially if genetically conditioned) may be associated with an increased risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and in selected clinical situations may be an indication for implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) [6].…”

“…A retrospective study in 80 clinical patients with ICD at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center showed a mean age of 64.4 ± 12.5 years and survival rates of 93.8%, 65% and 50% at 1.5, and 10 years, respectively. The presence of more than one risk factor in the same patient was associated with higher mortality rates, including advanced age, myocardial ischemia, and renal insufficiency [22].…”

Objective: To observe the quality of life of patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).Methods: This is a descriptive research with a quantitative approach. Data collection was done through an interview. The Questionnaire SF-36 was used to analyze data, which has been collected in a cardiovascular outpatient service. Fifty patients with this device took part in the study during their medical follow-up from January to December.Results: Of the 50 patients, 19 (38%) were female and 31 (62%) male. The mean age of the patients was 58.4 years, with ages ranging from 21 to 75 years. It was observed two domains regarding limitations by physical and emotional profiles below score 50. The domain social profiles presented the higher score 80.5. Most of the patients reported that their health was a little better compared with a year ago. Conclusion:The results showed a loss in the patients' quality of life, with lower scores in the physical and emotional profiles. There was no correlation between quality of life with the variables age, sex, marital status and education level. However, patients feel relieved and secure with the benefits provided by ICD in maintaining their lives by protecting them from sudden death.

Predictors of mortality amongst recipients of implantable cardioverter defibrillators for secondary prevention of cardiac arrest

Abstract: Background: Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) reduce mortality in survivors of cardiac arrest (CA). We investigated the predictors of mortality after ICD implantation in survivors of CA.
