Abstract: BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) are frequently refractory to both antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy and catheter ablation (CA). Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) has been shown to reduce VA burden and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jce.13862
Abstract: We present the case of a 45‐year‐old male patient with dilated cardiomyopathy who suffers from multiple implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks. The analysis of the ICD tracing and the electrophysiological study allows to conclude that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jce.15906
Abstract: The role of triggers in the occurrence of appropriate implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) shocks due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias is not well known. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of trigger factors in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/circep.119.007600
Abstract: BACKGROUND In patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), shocks are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, we conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of antiarrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation (CA) in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0173868
Abstract: Aims In implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients, predictors of ICD shocks and mortality are needed to improve patient selection. Electrocardiographic (ECG) markers are simple to obtain and have been demonstrated to predict mortality. We aimed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.7326/m22-1566
Abstract: BACKGROUND Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) improve survival in patients at risk for cardiac arrest, but are associated with intravascular lead-related complications. The subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD), with no intravascular components, was developed to minimize lead-related complications.… read more here.
