Instead of Defibrillator's Painful Jolt, There May be a Gentler Way to Prevent Sudden Death, According to Hopkins Scientists - 09/28/2011
hopkinsmedicine.org — “Each year in the United States, more than 200,000 people have a cardiac defibrillator implanted in their chest to deliver a high-voltage shock to prevent sudden cardiac death from a life-threatening arrhythmia. While it’s a necessary and effective preventive therapy, those who’ve experienced a defibrillator shock say it’s painful, and some studies suggest that the shock can damage heart muscle.” View full resource at hopkinsmedicine.org

Johns Hopkins Study Helps Predict Which ARVD Patients are at Highest Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death - 09/21/2011
hopkinsmedicine.org — “Johns Hopkins experts in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) have defined a set of criteria that could be used to assess a patient’s need for an implanted defibrillator to prevent sudden death. In a study to be published in the September 27 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology that is now online, the researchers report that using those criteria, they were able to separate the patients at high risk for a life-threatening irregular heart rhythm from those with l” View full resource at hopkinsmedicine.org

Remote Monitoring of ICDs May Be Ready for Prime Time (CME/CE) - QualityPoint Technologies
qualitypointtech.net — “PARIS (MedPage Today) -- It seems that remote monitoring of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices has been “promising” for some time. But three randomized trials and several smaller studies could bring telemonitoring closer to routine practice.” View full resource at qualitypointtech.net

qualitypointtech.net — “A study that included more than 100,000 patients who received implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) found that about 20 percent did not meet evidence-based guidelines for receipt of an ICD, and that these patients had a significantly higher risk of in-hospital death than individuals who met criteria for receiving an ICD, according to a study in the January 5 issue of JAMA. Several randomized controlled trials have shown the effectiveness of ICDs for preventing sudden cardiac death in pa” View full resource at qualitypointtech.net
