Study Sheds Light on End of Life Management of Implanted Defibrillators
newswise.com — “Each year, more than 100,000 patients in the U.S. undergo implantation of a new ICD for heart rhythm abnormalities. Current medical guidelines advocate discussion of end of life care of these medical devices, including deactivation. Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine say that discussions should also address post-mortem donation of ICDs for product improvement or reuse overseas as pacemakers, to help reduce global health disparities.” View full resource at newswise.com

qualitypointtech.net — “Heart defibrillators are not for everyone. A unique data analysis of 112,000 patients from 2006-2009 was conducted by Duke University and results showed that 22% of all implants, which can prevent sudden death in people with advanced heart failure, were unnecessary or recommended for reasons outside of standard guidelines, leaving doubt to as if they would even actually prove beneficial. Patients who've had a recent heart attack or recent bypass surgery aren't good candidates for defibrillators ” View full resource at qualitypointtech.net
