  1. 1. Primary prevention defibrillators in clinical practice

    Författare :Johanna Sjöblom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    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

  3. 2. Ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators

    Författare :Mikael Runsiö; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :ventricular fibrillation; defibrilla~ion; implantable cardioverter defibrillator; haemodynamic; metabolism; hyperaemia; ischaemia; myocardial injury; histamine; neuropeptide 1: noradrenaline; endothelin; histamine; positron emission tomography.;

    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

  5. 4. Health-related quality of life in recipients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator due to life-threatening arrhythmias : a 5 year follow-up

    Författare :Inger Flemme; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; defibrillators implantable; ICD shocks; life-threatening arrhythmia; quality of life; satisfaction; uncertainty; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    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

  7. 5. Placement of automated external defibrillators and logistics to facilitate early defibrillation in sudden cardiac arrest

    Författare :David Fredman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aim: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death in many western countries. Much effort is put in to measures to improve survival. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) significantly increase the chance of survival. LÄS MER
