Cardioverter Defibrillator

Benign cardiac fibroma is rarely reported in adults. Its clinical symptoms are related to outflow obstruction or dysrhythmias. We present the case of a 70-year-old woman who had a syncopal episode from ventricular tachycardia caused by cardiac fibroma. Because of unfavorable tumor anatomy, the patient was not a candidate for surgical excision, and she declined orthotopic heart transplantation. To prevent sudden cardiac death, we placed an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, and the patient remained well throughout the 2-year follow-up period. To our knowledge, this is the first report of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy to treat an adult patient's unresectable cardiac fibroma.

Inappropriate Shocks

We report on a 70-year-old male patient who was recipient of GEM III DR 7275 Cardioverter Defibrillator, and who presented with inappropriate shocks. The patient had a documented slow ventricular tachycardia (VT), and the device was programmed to detect VT at rates >100 bpm, fast VT (FVT, via VT) at rates >150 bpm, and ventricular fibrillation (VF) at rates >188 bpm. After detection of FVT, efficient therapy was delivered; however, this was immediately followed by multiple inappropriate therapies. Inappropriate therapies were discussed, with a focus on programming features.

Improved Methods

The treatment of drug-refractory chronic ventricular tachycardia (VT) has undergone a revolution over the last 50 years. We now have automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy with pace-terminating capabilities, and catheter ablation of VT has refined mapping and improved methods of lesion generation. Between 1980 and 1993, Houston Methodist Hospital became a leader in the diagnosis and surgical ablation of VT and other arrhythmias. This is a brief account of that period and some of the experiences and lessons that have led to significant advances used today.
