Implantation-Related Complications of Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Devices: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials

TL;DR: Eleven ICD and 7 CRT trials were systematically reviewed to provide data on the frequency of in-hospital mortality and complications related to the implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Significant lead-induced tricuspid regurgitation is associated with poor prognosis at long-term follow-up

TL;DR: Significant lead-induced TR is associated with poor long-term prognosis and was independently associated with all-cause mortality and heart failure related events in a retrospective cohort of ICD or pacemaker recipients.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clinical course of patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators: Extended experience on clinical outcome, device replacements, and device-related complications.

TL;DR: After long-term follow-up of ICD (12 years) and CRT-D (8 years) recipients, 49% of I CD recipients and 55% of CRT’s recipients had died and appropriate defibrillator therapy was received by the majority and by almost 40% of recipients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac device infections are associated with a significant mortality risk.

TL;DR: The occurrence of CDI was associated with substantial 1-year mortality, and patients experiencing CDI had a more than 2-fold increased risk of mortality compared with patients who remained free from CDI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global longitudinal strain and left atrial volume index improve prediction of appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients

TL;DR: LAVI and GLS provide high negative predictive value for appropriate ICD therapy in high-risk HCM patients, and both parameters may be useful to optimize criteria and timing for ICD implantation in these patients.
