EFFICACY OF AN IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER-DEFIBRILLATOR IN PATIENTS. LITERATURE REVIEW
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Technological advances such as the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) also play a key role in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. An ICD can correct an abnormal heart rhythm.
The aim is to study the effectiveness of ICD in heart disease.
Methods: Literature search was carried out in databases: PubMed, the Cochrane Library. The search strategy included the following keywords: implantable cardioverter defibrillator, efficiency, or effectiveness, quality of life, sudden cardiac death. Methodological filters included systematic reviews and meta-analyzes. The search was limited to English and Russian, published between January 2011 and April 2021. Inclusion criterion: 1) full texts available in databases; 2) texts in English or Russian; 3) research carried out or published over the past decade (2011-2021); 4) systematic reviews and meta-analyzes. Quality of the included studies was analyzed using the AMSTAR 2 checklist.
Results: The studies included the effectiveness of ICD for the prevention of sudden cardiac death, left ventricular dysfunction without coronary artery disease and with ischemic heart disease, with cardiac resynchronization therapy, clinical outcomes and complications in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and ventricular arrhythmia.
Conclusions: Currently available data demonstrate that the use of ICD is an important treatment option in comparison with the alternative therapies.
