Early defibrillation plays a key role in improving survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests due to ventricular fibrillation (ventricular-fibrillation cardiac arrests), and the use of ...

Background Double sequential defibrillation (DSD) is a promising treatment for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest ...

TRANSIENT arrhythmias are frequently encountered during catheterization of the right side of the heart. 1 They occur most frequently during manipulation of the catheter in the atrium as isolated ...

Researchers used an electrophysiological computer model of the heart's electrical circuits to examine the effect of the applied voltage field in multiple fibrillation-defibrillation scenarios. They ...

In a healthy heart, electrical pulses that propagate across the heart muscle in an orderly fashion control the organ’s movements: at regular intervals the heart’s ventricles and atria contract and ...

For patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, use of double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) or vector-change (VC) defibrillation results in ...

For patients getting a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD), routine defibrillation testing could be safely skipped when using a scoring system to evaluate device position and ...

In a paper published this week in Chaos, by AIP Publishing, researchers from Sergio Arboleda University in Bogotá, Colombia, and the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta used an ...

Each year in the United States, more than 200,000 people have a cardiac defibrillator implanted in their chest to deliver a high-voltage shock to prevent sudden cardiac death from a life-threatening ...

New York, United States, Aug. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A Defibrillator administers a therapeutic shock to a patient's heart in life-threatening circumstances such ventricular fibrillation, cardiac ...
