HE IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR, or T"lCD," is arguably
the most technologically challenging type of therapy that
physicians utilize today. At the same time, engineers who design
ICDs are being called upon by clinicians to extend even further the
technological envelope in quest of building the "ideal" device. To
the extent, however, that physicians who utilize ICDs are not
sufficiently comfortable with or familiar with the engineering
principles that guide ICD function, the full clinical potential of
even an ideal device will not be realized. In comple mentary
fashion, engineers require as full an appreciation as possi ble of
the real world "boundary conditions" and clinical impact of various
ICD features, if the latter are truly to be perfected. This book is
intended to serve as an educational tool to foster mutual
understanding and communication among physicians, engineers, and
other professionals involved in ICD therapy, with the ultimate
purpose of enhancing patient care. The highly varied backgrounds of
such a diverse audience posed obvious challenges in the preparation
of this volume. Given the overwhelmingly greater involvement of
clinicians in the day-to day management and follow-up of ICD
recipients, we gave high priority to the presentation of oftentimes
complex yet relevant engi neering concepts in a manner that could
be understandable to most clinicians."
