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

## TL;DR

This case report discusses the use of an implantable cardiac monitor and defibrillator to manage Adams-Stokes syndrome caused by dangerous heart rhythms.

## Contribution

The report presents a novel clinical application of combining ICM and ICD for managing Adams-Stokes syndrome due to VT and VF.

## Key findings

- Adams-Stokes syndrome was caused by ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation in the reported case.
- The patient was successfully treated with an implantable cardiac monitor and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
- The combination of ICM and ICD is effective in managing sudden cardiac events in such cases.

## Abstract

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.
