Does anyone else feel stickershock at the cost ofmaintaining an ICD?
I have an Internal Cardiac Defibrillator(ICD). It seems to cost just short of 150 dollars for the 10 minute clinic visit, and around 200 dollars for the cardiologist, who is not present at a visit, to analyze the result. That is for one normal visit with no problems. I believe I get four of these visits a year. Is this typical or a bit on the expensive side?
Sadly, this is the case and it is partly due to the way health care in the US is funded. You get the best but it costs. In the UK where I work, cardiologists like myself get paid a straight salary which is funded by taxation and seeing one of us costs the patient nothing, nor does any treatment you may need. However, as governments don't like putting up taxes because it makes them unpopular, we find ourselves rather underfunded. Take your pick!
Any way to transfer recordingsfrom my ICD-B300 to mycomputer?
I just got a Sony ICD-B300 digital voice recorder from a friend, as a present. Does anyone know of any way to transfer the recordings to a computer? It doesn't seem to come with a USB port or cable, and I can't find any mention of such a function, neither in the manual or online. I want to use it, but really need that computer connectivity. Thanks.
If your device has a jack for headphones, you could use a cable to connect your device to your PC and record your audio that way.
What is the next step afterICD, if the patient have heartattack or blockage?
If there is a severe blockage or heart attack then the ICD may not be able to save a life in that individual, so what is the next step to take if the person makes it to the hospital?
fibrinolitics and/or cineangiocoronography.- the first ones are rugs that disrupts the blood clot, and the second one is an invasive procedure in which a catether is inserted in the patients femoral artery and travels to the heart, goes inside the coronary arteries and once they find the clot the inflate a baloon that disrupts it.-
