We report the case of a 38-year-old man who was implanted a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) and then performed a skydive from a height of 3000 m. During the jump, he lost consciousness due to ventricular fibrillation (VF). The S‑ICD detected the VF properly and successfully shocked the arrhythmia. Our illustrative case emphasizes the S‑ICD as an appropriate therapy in patient with life-threatening arrhythmias even under extreme conditions.
我们报告了一例38岁男性患者的病例,该患者植入了皮下植入式心律转复除颤器(S-ICD),随后从3000米高空进行了跳伞。在跳伞过程中,他因室颤(VF)失去意识。S-ICD正确检测到室颤并成功电击终止了心律失常。我们的实例病例强调了S-ICD即使在极端条件下也是治疗危及生命心律失常患者的一种合适疗法。
