Use of Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
Copyright policy )Use of Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is the most effective treatment for patients with life-threatening ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation not due to reversible causes. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association class I and IIa indications for an ICD are discussed. Patients with ICDs who need pacing should be treated with biventricular pacing, not with dual-chamber rate-responsive pacing, at a rate of 70/min. Patients with ICDs should be treated with β-blockers, statins and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers.
