Case studies based on AbbottTM Tracings
The authors of the Stimuprat team are pleased to present this book dedicated to the specificities of the interrogation and programming of the pacemakers marketed by AbbottTM. The galloping advances of the past 20 years have led to the development of highly complex devices capable of producing electrocardiographic tracings that are difficult to interpret if the physician does not possess a thorough knowledge of the functioning and specificities of each implanted prosthesis. Modern implantable devices, whether implantable loop recorders, cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators, store an increasing amount of diagnostic information relative to the operational functioning of the device. This publication revisits the various phases of the interrogation and programming of the AbbottTM pacemakers through clinical cases, simple or more complex, depicting the different clinical situations encountered during the follow-up of an implanted patient. The reading of each tracing is didactically detailed, followed by a practical commentary proposing a solution to the illustrated problem with a reminder of good practices. Portions of the contents of this book are available in French and English on the “Pacingdefibrillation.com” website. This site, freely accessible, reviews the state of the art in the field along with details of the specific features of the various devices for pacing, defibrillation and resynchronization. It can also foster the exchange of ideas through a discussion forum with the possibility of submitting tracings and subsequently discussing the diagnoses as well as the most suitable treatment options. Pleasant reading !!!
