Talk:Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator

message: What is the scale of the ruler in the image?  The "West Germany" label on the tape makes me think it's cm, but the fact that it's divided into half, quarter, and eighth divisions makes me think it's inches.  Which is right?  -- RoySmith (talk) 22:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image scale? 

message: My father experienced nauseating effects when he was near tractors and lawnmowers, and eventually concluded that it was his implanted defribrillator's sensitivity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). The effects can be mitigated by using simple shielding, such as by a sheet of aluminum foil covering the device. It would be nice to have some citations on this effect, but I haven't been able to find any yet. — Loadmaster (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  EMI/RFI effects 

message: I just assessed this article and believe it might barely meet C criteria, though others are free to downgrade it to start class if necessary, but I felt that the content was more than worthwhile to justify C class.  More references are needed, and the References section needs to be cleaned up.  I might even just take a moment now to do that... Adavis444 (talk) 06:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, so now there is a Notes section that contains all of the footnotes, and there is a References section, containing sources of general information I suppose, somewhat akin to Wikipedia:Citing sources#Shortened footnotes.  Each reference in this References section should probably be matched to the information that it is citing in order to achieve greater consistency, better referencing of individual facts, and a consistent Wikipedia system, and this must happen before this article could reach B class.

thread_title: References (in general and References section)

message: Just looking through the article and wonder if the citations needed tag on the quality of life section is still warranted. Two of the three paragraphs are heavily sourced (almost too-much-so). I think I have seen studies related to physical activities if those few sentences require some support.

message: On the whole, ICDs have a proven mortality benefit. Unfortunately the studies were underpowered to say in which subgroup the benefit was most significant. Ann Intern Med doi:10.7326/M13-1787 JFW | T@lk 14:06, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Huge sections of this article are unreferenced.
Worse still, huge parts of it are just plain wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.101.191.209 (talk) 18:46, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, hello Everyone that had been involved in this article. I am working in a remote course on Wikipedia for medical professionals. I will be updating this article over the next few weeks. I was wondering if anyone knew of newer studies or techniques that they believe should be referenced?
