SIX-YEAR EXPERIENCE OF USE OF THE AUTOMATIC IMPLANTED CARDIOVERTERS-DEFIBRILLATORS
Abstract
The analysis of efficiency of the automatic implanted cardioverters-defibrillators at 32 patients with risk of sudden cardiac death (ischemic heart disease, dilatation cardiomiopathy, etc.) is done. Triggering of devices has been fixed at 85.7% of patients at which implantation was a measure of secondary prophylaxis. From primary prophylaxis group of sudden cardiac death (7 cases) triggering has been fixed in 1 case (14.3%). Thus, implantation of the cardioverters-defibrillators as a measure of secondary prophylaxis is absolutely justified.
