2013 ESC Guideline vedrørende pacemaker og CRT
The 2013 guidelines, revised for the first time since 2007, were developed with input from 70 clinicians, including an expert Task Force of 18 cardiologists specialising in cardiac pacing and resynchronisation, a further 26 experts in the field who reviewed the document, with the entire process overseen by the ESC Committee for Practice Guidelines (CPG).
The first part of the guidelines explores indications for pacing in patients who have cardiac arrhythmias. The second part looks at indications for cardiac resynchronisation therapy in heart failure. The third part includes indications for pacing in specific conditions, such as acute MI, pacing after cardiac surgery, TAVI and heart transplantation, and pacing in children and individuals with congenital heart diseases. Finally, the guidelines explore management considerations such as re implantation after device explanation for infection, magnetic resonance imaging in patients with implanted cardiac devices, emergency (transvenous) temporary pacing and remote management of arrhythmias and devices.
Guidelines er godkendt af DCS 9/1 2014. Hvor der er kommentarer, afvigende dansk tradition samt forslag til forbedringer, er bemærkningerne knyttet til et nummer og en sidehenvisning.
