Synthesizing Stealthy Reprogramming Attacks on Cardiac Devices [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a medical device used for the detection of potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia and their treatment through the delivery of electrical shocks intended to restore normal heart rhythm. An ICD reprogramming attack seeks to alter the device's parameters to induce unnecessary shocks and, even more egregious,

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Aims Patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (AHF) treated with a 7 day prednisone course in the CORTAHF pilot trial had a greater improvement in health‐related quality of life (QoL) at Day 7 in both the overall population and in patients with baseline interleukin 6 > 13 pg/mL.

Contactless Cardiac Arrest Detection Using Smart Devices [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Rapid diagnosis and initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the cornerstone of therapy for victims of cardiac arrest. Yet a significant fraction of cardiac arrest victims have no chance of survival because they experience an unwitnessed event, often in the privacy

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.In this retrospective, observational study of a real‐life cohort of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, long‐term survival was improved in patients who achieved sustained reverse remodeling. Greater increases in ejection fraction (EF) and reductions in left ventricular end‐systolic diameter at the time of EF recovery, greater ...

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF) and wide QRS complex. However, patients with non‐left bundle branch block (LBBB) show a poor response to CRT. This study evaluated myocardial work estimated by pressure–strain loops on echocardiography for predicting response to CRT in ...

Locating Order-Disorder Phase Transition in a Cardiac System [PDF]
Sci Rep 8: 1967, 2018, 2017 To prevent sudden cardiac death, predicting where in the cardiac system an order-disorder phase transition into ventricular fibrillation begins is as important as when it begins. We present a computationally efficient, information-theoretic approach to predicting the locations of wavebreaks that initiate fibrillation in a cardiac system where the order-

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Background Atrial secondary mitral valve regurgitation (ASMR) is a distinct anatomical subset of secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). Evidence of the effect of transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (TEER) on left atrial (LA) anatomy and function, especially reverse remodelling (LARR), is still sparse.

ClinicsOBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether tissue Doppler imaging parameters, especially the peak systolic velocity of the left ventricular lead-implanted segment (Ss), affect cardiac resynchronization therapy response.

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Aims The study aims to investigate the impact of immigration status on short‐ and long‐term outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a single centre, analysing 7457 patients admitted for ADHF between 2007 and 2017, with follow‐up until 2020 (mean 3.7 ±
