Jan 21, 2014 · The guideline recommendations for implanting ICDs in patients with hemodynamically significant ventricular tachycardia (VT) or survival from cardiac arrest were established nearly 2 decades ago after the results of the National Institutes of Health funded Amiodarone Versus Implantable Defibrillator study (AVID). 10 AVID was a large, multicenter trial that enrolled cardiac arrest survivors ...

The LVAD can be used as a bridge to recovery in some patients with NICM. In IMAC-2, an LVAD was used in 14 patients (3.8%), and in 8 patients the LVAD was used as a bridge to recovery . In this group of patients, LVEF improved from 0.20 at baseline to 0.49 at the 6-month follow-up.

Nov 28, 2005 · If VF/pulseless VT is present (Box 3), providers should deliver 1 shock (Box 4) and then resume CPR immediately, beginning with chest compressions. If a biphasic defibrillator is available, providers should use the dose at which that defibrillator has been shown to be effective for terminating VF (typically a selected energy of 120 J to 200 J).
Feb 19, 2013 · Since its introduction >3 decades ago, the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been used extensively to enhance the survival of patients at high risk for sudden cardiac death resulting from life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs; ie, sustained VT and ventricular fibrillation [VF]). 1,2 Nevertheless, the invasive nature of the implantation procedure, cost issues, and ...

Ventricular arrhythmias can cause sudden cardiac death (SCD) or arrest, most frequently in those with previous MI. 6 The past decade saw a decreasing incidence of post-MI VT/VF causing SCD, yet no change in the incidence of SCD in patients without ischemic heart disease. 7 The development of VT/VF in patients with SHD is associated with a higher risk of future episodes of VT/VF, of electrical ...

Introduction. Cardiac arrest is the cessation of cardiac activity associated with unresponsiveness, no normal breathing, and no signs of circulation .In the United States, 356,000 patients are treated annually by emergency medical services (EMS) providers for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA); and 209,000 patients are treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest .

Sep 1, 2023 · The only treatment for a cardiac arrest is a shock to the heart, or defibrillation. When a person has a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital, a paramedic can use an external defibrillator, or a bystander can use an automatic external defibrillator (AED) to deliver a shock to the heart.
