Implantable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) in the Management of Adams-Stokes Syndrome: A Case Report

Adams-Stokes syndrome is a sudden, brief loss of consciousness caused by a significant drop in cardiac output due to an abnormal heart rhythm and a change in heart rate. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation is the most effective therapy for the prevention of sudden cardiac death caused by fast ventricular arrhythmia. We report a clinical case of Adams-Stokes syndrome due to ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) referred to our hospital and treated with an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) and an ICD.
