The case for explantation of the automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator

We cared for a patient whose malignant ventricular arrhythmia improved as a result of a remission of the underlying cardiac disease. Based on a thorough re-evaluation, we recommended not replacing her pulse generator after battery depletion. This case illustrates the importance of periodic re-evalua...

Zusammenfassung:	We cared for a patient whose malignant ventricular arrhythmia improved as a result of a remission of the underlying cardiac disease. Based on a thorough re-evaluation, we recommended not replacing her pulse generator after battery depletion. This case illustrates the importance of periodic re-evaluation of the need for device therapy.
