Abstract

Enhanced detection criteria in third-generation implantable defibrillators have been implemented to avoid inappropriate therapy of fast supraventricular arrhythmias. We prospectively analyzed the use of these criteria in patients with an implantable defibrillator with electrogram storing capability. In 82 consecutive patients with a Guidant-CPI implantable defibrillator, sudden onset > 9% and stability < 40 msec were systematically programmed in zone 1 of therapy together with a sustained rate duration security mechanism. All detected tachycardia episodes were analyzed. The study population consisted of 59 patients who had at least one episode of tachycardia detected in zone 1 during follow-up. The tachycardia rate in zone 1 never exceeded 210 beats/min. Twenty patients had no episodes during follow-up, and three patients had episodes detected exclusively in zone 2 of therapy. Supraventricular arrhythmias were detected frequently in the ventricular tachycardia zone (193 of 690 tachycardia episodes in 23 of 59 patients). Use of sudden onset was very effective in detecting sinus tachycardias (65 of 67 episodes), and stability was very useful in detecting atrial fibrillation (31 of 32 episodes). However, sensitivity in detecting v...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
