| Tartalmi kivonat: | Cardiac implantable electronic devices establish proper therapy for the prevention of sudden cardiac death, significantly reducing the morbidity and mortality of patients with arrhythmias and heart failure. It is well-known that the number of electrodes increases the risk of complications. To preserve the benefit of atrial sensing without the need to implant an additional lead, a single-lead ICD system with a floating atrial dipole (DX ICD lead) has been developed. Besides all of the potential benefits, the necessity of a reliable and stable atrial sensing via the floating dipole could be the main concern against the use of this lead type. In the current generation of DX devices, the specially filtered atrial signal seems to be high enough and stable over time, which is crucial in the early detection of atrial arrhythmias, discrimination between different forms of tachycardias in order to prevent inappropriate ICD therapy, and achieving an optimal atrioventricular and interventricular synchrony in patients with a two-lead CRT-DX system. The present review summarizes the benefits and potential drawbacks of the DX ICD systems based on the available literature, furthermore, proposes an evidence-based algorithm of ICD type selection. |
