摘要
Since its first human application in 1980, the automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has undergone remarkable advances leading to expanded acceptance. Originally indicated only for patients who had survived two cardiac arrests, the devices have recently been shown to improve survival in all patients with prior myocardial infarction and an ejection fraction of 30% or less. The devices have been miniaturized and are now implanted transvenously, often with hospital discharge within 24 hours of surgery.
