Magnetic fields may interfere with the function of cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets, which are small in size but produce strong magnetic fields, have become widely available in recent years. Therefore, NdFeB magnets may be associated with an emerging risk of device interference.We conducted a clinical study to evaluate the...
Anger can precipitate ventricular arrhythmias in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Determining electrophysiologic characteristics of anger-triggered arrhythmias may help elucidate the mechanisms that link emotion and arrhythmia.We sought to compare the morphology and initiation pattern between ventricular arrhythmias that are triggered by anger and those that are not.At...
We have observed a higher than expected rate of Sprint Fidelis model 6949 lead failures in our practice.The aim of this study was to assess the performance of small-diameter Sprint Fidelis high-voltage ICD leads.The actuarial survival of Sprint Fidelis model 6949 leads implanted at our center was compared with that of the Sprint Quattro Secure model 6947. The United States Food and Drug Administration...
