Abstract

Large randomized trials demonstrated the beneficial effect of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) treatments in selected patients. Data on long-term follow-up of patients outside the setting of clinical trials are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of ICD and CRT-D recipients. All patients who underwent ICD (n = 1729 [57%]) or CRT-D (n = 1326 [43%]) implantation at the Leiden University Medical Center since 1996 were evaluated. Follow-up visits were performed every 3-6 months, and events were registered. Cumulative incidence curves of device therapy and device-related complications were adjusted for the competing risk of all-cause mortality. After a median follow-up of 5.1 years (25th-75th percentile 3.1-7.8 years), 842 patients (28%) died. The cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality was 49% (95% confidence interval [CI] 45%-54%) in ICD recipients after 12 years of follow-up and 55% (95% CI 52%-58%) in CRT-D recipients after 8 years of follow-up. A total of 1081 patients (35%) received appropriate defibrillator therapy. The cumulative incidence of appropriate therapy in ICD patients was 58% (95% CI 54%-62%) after 12 years o...Continue Reading

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.
