DOI: 10.1007/s10840-018-0343-1
Abstract: BackgroundHemodialysis (HD) patients have a high risk of sudden death but limited vascular access and high complication rates from transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Subcutaneous ICDs (S-ICD) may be an alternative, but dynamic ECG changes may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2018.04.002
Abstract: BACKGROUND Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially lethal cardiac channelopathy, but with the appropriate treatment strategy, such as beta-blockers, left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD), and/or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), most LQTS-triggered tragedies can… read more here.

Prevalence of One-Year Mortality after Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Placement: An Opportunity for Palliative Care?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of palliative medicine"
DOI: 10.1089/jpm.2022.0205
Abstract: Background: Current guidelines recommend against placement of implantable cardioverter defibrillators in patients with a life expectancy less than one year. These patients may benefit from early palliative care services; however, identifying this population is challenging.… read more here.
