Abstract:
Lead and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device failure is a severe problem in ICD therapy and may occur without preceding signs of deterioration. Insulation lead failure and subsequent ICD defect 7 months after ICD implantation for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a 70-year-old male was automatically detected with the Home Monitoring system. Immediate lead and device replacement was performed. This case illustrates the benefit of permanent automatic remote monitoring of implanted active devices.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
