Long-Term Performance of Epicardial versus Transvenous Left Ventricular Leads for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
1. Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has evolved as an effective method for treating patients with systolic heart failure and conduction delay refractory to pharmacological treatment. CRT has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality in these patients [1,2]. Left ventricular (LV) leads are normally placed/positioned in one of the venous side branches, accessed via the coronary sinus [1,2].
JCM | Free Full-Text | Appropriate Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Therapy in Patients with Ventricular Arrhythmia of Unclear Cause in Secondary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death
4. Discussion In this study, we demonstrate that patients who received an ICD for secondary prevention with an unclear cause of their index ventricular arrhythmia experienced fewer appropriate ICD therapies and more inappropriate shocks than patients with a clear etiology of the index arrhythmia. The rate of first appropriate ICD therapy per 100 person-years was highest in the first two years of follow-up and declined to a lower but more constant rate thereafter.
