Patients with impaired left ventricular systolic function have an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is an effective therapy to treat life-threatening arrhythmias and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated statistically significant reductions in all-cause mortality in select patient groups. Despite this wealth of published data, the uptake of ICDs in high risk population remains low and the exact reasons not known. My study focuses on the evidence for ICD therapy from the landmark RCTs that have influenced the current guidelines. Mo

Low levels of physical activity (PA) are a significant predictor of early death among recipients of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Regular, moderate PA is associated with improved quality of life (QOL), reduced arrhythmia burden, and improved health outcomes in ICD recipients yet many do not engage in PA and the reasons for lack of engagement are unclear. The purpose of this descriptive, cross-sectional study was to examine health beliefs related to PA and QOL in adults living with ICDs.

The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a small medical device, implanted underneath the collarbone with wires leading from it to the heart. The device detects and terminates ventricular arrhythmias by delivering an electric shock, that otherwise would most likely lead to sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. The ICD is perceived as the 'gold standard' treatment therapy for patients at risk of sudden cardiac death resulting from fast electrical rhythms (Bleasdale, Ruskin, O'Callaghan, 2005). However, ICD recipients have reported high levels of psychological distress such

Heart failure is a very common medical condition with significant mortality and morbidity. Patients hospitalised with heart failure are at high risk of death in the short term and patients with chronic heart failure in the community are also at a high risk of death in the medium to long term. It is difficult to accurately identify those at a higher risk of death as current methods of risk stratification lack both sensitivity and specificity. The available treatments for prevention of sudden death in patients with heart failure such as Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD) are expensive

In recent years the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) has emerged as a novel technology which offers an alternative choice to the traditional transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (TV-ICD) in treatment and prevention of sudden cardiac death. Early experience with the S-ICD however has highlighted that its capacity to accurately sense the cardiac signal can be challenged, in particular with regard to the risk of varying amplitude of signals and risk of T wave oversensing. S-ICD sensing is therefore an important weakness of this technology which this thesis

Background: The ICD is cornerstone in the treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias, although there is growing concern that dying patients are receiving multiple futile shocks. Expert guideline recommendations regarding ICD deactivation are not implemented in practise and ICD deactivation is rarely discussed.

Introduction. Adolescents with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) have to negotiate the tasks of growing up while coping with their ICD device. Current research on the psychosocial effect of ICDs in this population is limited. Issues of body image may be particularly salient for adolescents with visible health conditions, as they experience typical physical and emotional development in addition to the burden of their health condition. This study aims to explore the effect of having an ICD device on adolescent’s body image and self-esteem, and other challenges they encounter. Method

The management and prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death remains a great challenge in modern Cardiology. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) have been shown to reduce mortality. Despite decades of research, the mechanisms are not fully understood and ICD treatment is crude, palliative and expensive. Nonetheless, outcome studies have helped to inform national and international guidance in the implantation of these devices.

Pulmonary edema occurs when fluid leaks from the pulmonary capillary network into the lung interstitium and alveoli. When the heart is not able to pump blood to the body efficiently, fluid can back up into the veins that take blood through the lungs to the left atrium. This then builds up the pressure in the blood vessels and fluid is pushed into the alveoli in the lungs. The fluid reduces normal oxygen movement through the lungs and can cause impaired gas exchange and respiratory failure. There are many causes of congestive heart failure that may lead to pulmonary edema such as heart attack,

In order to influence health outcomes, the impact of the ICD must be considered in a broader context including not only the physical, but also the psychological and social functioning of the individual.
