“…46 Again, amiodarone should be reserved for potentially life-threatening arrhythmias when other AADs have failed. 47 As discussed previously, catheter ablation for arrhythmias has been successfully performed in pregnant patients with low radiation exposure and good outcomes. 21 However, such case reports are limited to the treatment of SVT.…”

Background:The benefits of primary prophylactic implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) are actually debated, as some drawbacks become more apparent and as the natural history of cardiac disease seems to improve. Therefore, contemporary follow‐up data of non‐trial populations treated according to current guidelines remain necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate mortality and the occurrence of ICD interventions in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who received in the recent era a primary prophylactic ICD without resynchronization therapy.Hypothesis:Survival and event‐free rates from appropriate ICD therapy are different between ischemic and nonischemic ICD patients.Methods:Prospective cohort study of 427 consecutive primary prevention ICD patients with ischemic or nonischemic heart disease, excluding patients with resynchronization.Results:Ischemic heart disease was present in 290 patients (68%), nonischemic heart disease in 137 patients (32%). During a median follow‐up of 31 months (interquartile range [IQR] 15–45 months), 30 patients (7%) died. Mortality was not different in both disease categories. The incidence of appropriate ICD interventions was similar in CAD and DCM (23% vs 21%). Appropriate ICD intervention occurred more frequently in patients with atrial fibrillation (29% vs 19%). Inappropriate ICD intervention occurred in 11% of patients.Conclusions:The clinical course of ischemic and nonischemic heart disease patients treated with a primary prophylactic ICD is similar with respect to mortality and to appropriate and inappropriate ICD interventions, in spite of a younger age at baseline of the DCM patients. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.This work was partly funded by “het College Voor Zorgverzekeringen” (OP 0864207).

“…An important aspect of this study was determining which alarms were treatable according to practice guidelines. For example, according to the 2006 American Heart Association guidelines for ventricular arrhythmias, 6 the investigators characterized accelerated ventricular rhythms as not "actionable" (eg, no antiarrhythmic therapy required); thus this alarm was changed from audible to visual only. What is important about this study is that in addition to describing the alarm burden, it demonstrates how to make decisions about tailoring specific alarms systematically on the basis of practice guidelines, and it identifies strategies for addressing technical alarms.…”

During the past year, studies were published that will lead to practice change, address challenges at the bedside, and introduce new care strategies. This article summarizes some of this important work and considers it in the context of previous research and practice. Examples of research-based practice changes include the performance and assessment of septic shock resuscitation, and the integration of tourniquets and massive transfusions in civilian trauma. Care challenges addressed include ethical considerations in light of the Ebola epidemic, infection prevention associated with chlorhexidine bathing, bedside alarm management, evidence to enhance moral courage, and interventions to mitigate thirst in critically ill patients. Research that portends future care includes a discussion of fecal microbiota transplant for patients with refractory infection with Clostridium difficile.
