In a recent paper in the journal Heart Rhythm, doctors describe how they turned off the potentially life-saving cardiac defibrillator function of an implanted Medtronic device simply by holding an ...

The researchers found that women with nonischemic cardiomyopathy and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator had a lower risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias or death compared to men. HealthDay ...

Almost exactly a year after beginning a recall of some of its implantable defibrillator devices that were found to potentially emit electrical pulses below their programmed strength, Medtronic has ...

Dr. Keith Roach explains the differences between pacemakers and defibrillators and how they treat heart rhythms.

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a heart monitoring device. When necessary, it provides an electric shock that corrects an abnormal heart rhythm and prevents sudden cardiac death.

The indications for ICD implantation continue to expand; however, these devices are associated with complications related to the implantation procedure itself and morbidity caused by the normal and ...
