   The Hospital Wearable Defibrillator (HWD) is a tool for managing patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. It aims to provide patients with extra protection as well as peace of mind. Unlike an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) that is implanted in the chest, the HWD is worn outside the body.

   Feb 19, 2013 · Clinical trials studying the wearable defibrillator have shown that it is very effective in terminating VT/VF. In the first 2 small-scale clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of the wearable defibrillator in terminating rapid VT and VF episodes induced by programmed ventricular stimulation in the catheterization laboratory (the Table), all ventricular arrhythmic events (31 events in 21 ...

   Oct 4, 2016 · The wearable cardioverter-defibrillator has been available for over a decade and now is frequently prescribed for patients deemed at high arrhythmic risk in whom the underlying pathology is potentially reversible or who are awaiting an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. The use of the wearable cardioverter-defibrillator is included in the ...

   Nov 1, 2016 · Advances in the field of defibrillation have brought to practice different types of devices that include the transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) with or without cardiac resynchronization therapy, the subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD), and the wearable cardioverter-defibrillator. To ensure optimal use of these devices and to achieve best patient outcomes, clinicians need to ...

   May 19, 2022 · A LifeVest is a wearable defibrillator that can stop an abnormal heart rhythm without anyone’s help. People at risk of sudden cardiac arrest wear it while waiting for a more permanent solution. They wear it under their clothes and remove it only for bathing. This device has a high success rate for protecting people from dangerous heart rhythms.

8. People also ask

   How is a wearable defibrillator programmed?

   • As with an ICD, the wearable defibrillator may be programmed to different VT or VF zones for which different response times (time from detection to defibrillation sequence activation) and shock energy (between 75 and 150 J, biphasic) may be programmed. The final programming of the device is at the discretion of the treating physician.

   Do wearable cardioverter defibrillators benefit patients at high risk?

   • Patients at high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) may benefit from wearable cardioverter defibrillators (WCD) by avoiding immediate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Different factors play an important role including patient selection, compliance and optimal drug treatment.

   Who should use a wearable defibrillator?

   • The wearable defibrillator should be considered for patients capable of using it who are considered to be at high risk of VT/VF and need temporary protection from these arrhythmias. It can also be considered as a long-term solution in unique cases with contraindications for an ICD. 1.

   What are the different types of cardioverter defibrillators?

   • The armamentarium of devices that defibrillate has expanded in recent years to include the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) with or without cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), the subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD), and the wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD).

   Are wearable defibrillators better than ICDs?

   • As opposed to ICDs, which are generally implanted by arrhythmia specialists, the wearable defibrillator may be prescribed by physicians less experienced in the management of arrhythmias. This could lead to an increased number of complications related to wrong patient selection or suboptimal device programming.
