Article Synopsis
- The study compares the mortality rates between patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillators (CRT-D) and those without (CRT-P) to evaluate potential benefits of adding a defibrillator.
- In a cohort of 1,705 patients, CRT-P recipients showed a significantly higher mortality rate, particularly due to non-sudden deaths, suggesting they had worse overall outcomes.
- The results indicate that current selection criteria for CRT-P patients may not justify the addition of a defibrillator, as it would not significantly improve their survival.
Background: Pacemaker (PM) interrogation requires correct manufacturer identification. However, an unidentified PM is a frequent occurrence, requiring time-consuming steps to identify the device.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a novel algorithm for PM manufacturer identification, using the ECG response to magnet application.
