Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction. The cardioverter – defibrillator (ICD) implantation is the method of treatment in patients with high risk of sudden cardiac death. Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate the survival of patients treated with ICD implantation and factors influencing the time of survival. Material and methods. Retrospective analysis of documentation of 291 patients who underwent ICD implantation in Cardiology Department of Medical University in Lublin was performed. Results. In the follow – up period 14.77% of patients died. The probability of 1000 days survival was higher in patients treated with β–blocker and lower in patients receiving furosemid, in patients with heart failure NYHA I was equal 96% and was by 4% higher than patients with NYHA II class and by 53% higher than in patients in NYHA III class (p 0.0001), while in patients with ejection fraction (EF) >35% was by 12% higher than in patients with EF <35% (p 0.05). Conclusions. Probability of 1000 days survival in patients with implanted ICD is equal approximately 90%. It is increased in patients with low NYHA class and treated with β – blocker and decreased in patients with low EF and receiving furosemid.
