Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Health-related quality of life in recipients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator due to life-threatening arrhythmias : a 5 year follow-up
Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to describe self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in recipients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) due to life-threatening arrhythmias over a 5-year period. The design was prospective and longitudinal. LÄS MER
3. Ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators
Sammanfattning : Since the introduction of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator for humans with malignant ventricular arrhythmias in 1980, over 50, 000 patients world wide have received this device. The implantation procedure is simple and resembles the implantation of an ordinary pacemaker. LÄS MER
4. Primary prevention defibrillators in clinical practice
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Guidelines for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) advocate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Many patients are not considered for treatment and the net benefit of ICDs in real life is insufficiently studied. LÄS MER
5. Implantable devices in heart failure : studies on biventricular pacing and continuous hemodynamic monitoring
Sammanfattning : Chronic heart failure is a highly symptomatic syndrome associated with increasing prevalence, frequent hospital admissions and high treatment costs. Despite recent advances in drug therapy, morbidity and mortality are still high. LÄS MER
