Repetitive ICD Shocks and Incessant VTs in Heart Failure: What To Do?
Original language description
Repetitive ICD shocks and incessant ventricular tachycardias are not uncommon in patients with heart failure. Data on the prognostic significance of both appropriate and inappropriate ICD shocks and ventricular tachyarrhythmias suggest a poor outcome. Management of these patients is challenging and depends on the number of shocks, their appropriateness and the patients' clinical condition. Initial management involves 12-lead ECG, assessment of patients' history and identifying and correcting the transient causes. Antiarrhythmic medication is often administered to reduce the tendency for ICD shocks and incessant ventricular tachycardias. ICD interrogation helps to discriminate appropriate and inappropriate shocks and recognize possible device malfunction. Catheter ablation has developed into a successful treatment strategy for patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardias resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs. Recently, concepts of prophylactic and emergency catheter ablations have been
