Why the study?
All physicians increasingly encounter patients with implanted cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) who present to primary care or emergency physicians or require procedures.
Provides essential guidance for nonelectrophysiologists on the assessment and management of patients with ICDs.
All physicians increasingly will encounter patients who have implanted cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for protection from ventricular arrhythmias. This advisory provides a concise summary relevant to the assessment and management of patients with ICDs, including those who present to primary care or emergency department physicians with symptoms suggesting arrhythmia or ICD malfunction and those who require cardiac or surgical procedures.

Stevenson et al. (2004) conducted a review in Patients with implanted cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Assessment and management of patients with ICDs was evaluated. This advisory provides a concise summary for nonelectrophysiologists on the assessment and management of patients with implanted cardioverter-defibrillators.
