Amiodarone: clinical efficacy and toxicity in 96 patients with recurrent, drug-refractory arrhythmias.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors concluded that amiodarone is useful in the treatment of refractory tachyarrhythmias but that the rate of efficacy in VT/VF is lower and the incidence of significant toxicity is higher than has been generally appreciated.
Journal ArticleDOI

2015 HRS/EHRA/APHRS/SOLAECE expert consensus statement on optimal implantable cardioverter-defibrillator programming and testing

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically describe the >80% (83-100%, mean: 96%) required consensus achieved for each recommendation by official balloting in regard to the programming of bradycardia mode and rate, detection, tachycardia therapy, and intraprocedural testing of defibrillation efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discrimination of ventricular tachycardia from sinus tachycardia and atrial fibrillation in a tiered-therapy cardioverter-defibrillator

TL;DR: The Medtronic PCD's onset and stability criteria reduced inappropriate detection of atrial fibrillation and sinus acceleration while detecting 99.5% of ventricular tachycardias.
Journal ArticleDOI

2015 HRS/EHRA/APHRS/SOLAECE expert consensus statement on optimal implantable cardioverter-defibrillator programming and testing.

TL;DR: This document systematically describes the >80% (83–100%, mean: 96%) required consensus achieved for each recommendation by official balloting in regard to the programming of (i) bradycardia mode and rate, (ii) tachycardia detection, (iii) tachedcardia therapy, and (iv) the intraprocedural testing of defibrillation efficacy.
