Shock occurrence and survival in 241 patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy.

Abstract: The majority of patients receive shocks during long-term follow-up. The occurrence of appropriate or any spontaneous shocks during follow-up is not associated with increased arrhythmic or total mortality consistent with effective prevention of sudden cardiac death with ICD therapy in this high-risk patient population. Although low ejection fraction is the strongest predictor of both shock occurrence and mortality during follow-up, no easy algorithm can be derived from the analyzed clinical characteristics to p… Show more

“…With the advent and then dominance of primary prevention indications, avoidable shocks assumed a relatively larger proportion of total therapy [78][79][80][81][82][83]. Gradually, publications have increased awareness of the frequency and the diverse range of adverse outcomes associated with avoidable ICD therapy, and have demonstrated that avoidable ICD shocks can be reduced by evidence-based programming of the detection rate, detection duration, antitachycardia pacing (ATP), algorithms that discriminate supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) from VT, and specific programming to minimize the sensing of noise [81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92].…”

“…Uygunsuz ICD şoklamasının en yaygın nedenleri supraventriküler taşikar-disi (sinüs taşikardisi, atriyal fi brilasyon, atriyal fl atter) ve artefaktların aşırı algılanmasıdır. Sinüs taşikardisi ve atriyal fi brilasyon sırasıyla supraventriküler taşikardiye bağlı uygunsuz şokların %50 ve %12'sinden sorumludur (2) . Artefaktların cihaz tarafından aşırı algılanması, ventriküler orijinli olmayan ancak cihaz tarafından yanlışlıkla ventriküler orijinli gibi algılanan elektriksel aktiviteyi ifade eder.…”

“…ICD'lerin en önemli komplikasyonlarından biri olan uygunsuz ICD şokları hastaların tedavi sürecini zorlaştır-maktadır. Uygunsuz ICD şokunun en yaygın nedenleri hızlı ventrikül yanıtlı atriyal fi brilasyon, supraventriküler taşikar-di, taşikardi tanıma eşiğini geçen sinüs taşikardisi, T dalga algılaması, elektriksel gürültüler ve miyopotansiyellerdir (2) . Doğru ve dikkatli bir değerlendirme yapılmadığı takdirde uygunsuz şoklar kronik bir problem olarak hastaların yaşam kalitesini bozmakta, gereğinden fazla antiaritmik tedavi verilmesine neden olmaktadır.…”
