A team of researchers from Sergio Arboleda University in Bogotá, Colombia, and the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta utilized an electrophysiological computer model of the heart’s electrical ...

Abstract: On the model of cardiomyocyte under the influence of simulated fibrillation, the dependences of the threshold energy of guaranteed defibrillation on the duration of the defibrillation pulse ...

Abstract: Cardiac defibrillation, as accomplished nowadays by automatic, implantable devices (ICDs), constitutes the most important means of combating sudden cardiac death. While ICD therapy has ...

Defibrillation testing of implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) does not improve outcomes compared with device implantation without testing and, therefore, “defibrillation testing during ...

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Electrophysiologists at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (TCAI) at St. David's Medical Center recently became the first in the nation to implant an ...

TCAI is a state-of-the-art Electrophysiology Center that includes six labs equipped with advanced technology where a group of ...

Objective To assess the long-term functional and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors stratified by initial defibrillation provider.

Traditional hospital factors -- such as case volume and academic status -- do not appear to predict whether patients with cardiac arrest at that facility are likely to experience delays in receiving ...

OBJECTIVETo determine the use of epinephrine (adrenaline) before defibrillation for treatment of in-hospital cardiac arrest due to a ventricular arrhythmia and examine its association with patient ...

Introduction: Timely defibrillation in ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest (VFCA) is associated with good outcome. While defibrillation skills of pediatric providers have been reported to be poor, ...
