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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Among patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF), survival to hospital discharge was more frequent with double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) and vector-change (VC) ...

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 ...

Tthe right side of the heart remains electrically active longer during cardiac arrest, and the signal may help predict ...

PHILADELPHIA -- For atrial fibrillation (Afib) patients with obesity, a second set of defibrillation pads for dual direct current cardioversion safely improved the success of the procedure, a ...
