Model-based Pre-clinical Trials for Medical Devices Using Statistical Model Checking [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Clinical trials are considered as the golden standard for medical device validation. However, many sacrifices have to be made during the design and conduction of the trials due to cost considerations and partial information, which may compromise the significance of the trial results. In this paper, we proposed a model-based pre-clinical trial framework

Emergency medicine and general practice [PDF]
, 2005 Emergency Medicine and Immediate Medical Care are relatively new specialties. In Malta, there is quite a considerable area of overlap between these specialties and general practice.

Prehospital randomised assessment of a mechanical compression device in cardiac arrest (PaRAMeDIC) trial protocol [PDF]
, 2010 Background Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is closely linked to the quality of CPR, but in real life, resuscitation during pre-hospital care and ambulance transport is often suboptimal.

Clinical characteristics and long‐term outcomes in patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Aims As a special type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), apical HCM (ApHCM) has different clinical characteristics while its nature history and prognosis are not well recognized. We aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of ApHCM and identify predictors of adverse outcomes.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1985 Forty-two defibrillating lead systems for the automatic implantable defibrillator were implanted and tested in 41 patients. Two basic lead configurations were used: 1) spring-patch, consisting of a transvenous superior vena cava spring electrode as the anode and an apical or left lateral ventricular patch electrode (either small [13.9 cm2] or large [27.

Prognostic value of left atrial strain in acute and chronic heart failure: A meta‐analysis
ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.The prognostic evaluation of heart failure (HF) beyond ejection fraction remains challenging. Moreover, reliable prognosticators in chronic HF sometimes lose their value in acute settings or vice versa. Speckle tracking echocardiography offers new sensitive parameters for prognostic stratification in heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection ...

An Innovative Wireless Cardiac Rhythm Management (iCRM) System [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper, we propose a wireless Communicator to manage and enhance a Cardiac Rhythm Management System. The system includes: (1) an on-body wireless Electrocardiogram (ECG), (2) an Intracardiac Electrogram (EGM) embedded inside an Implantable Cardioverter/Defibrillator, and (3) a Communicator (with a resident Learning System). The first two devices

Electrostriction Effects During Defibrillation [PDF]
American Journal of Undergraduate Research, VOL. 6, NO. 2, 9-17
(2007), 2011 Background-The electric field applied to the heart during defibrillation causes mechanical forces (electrostriction), and as a result the heart deforms. This paper analyses the physical origin of the deformation, and how significant it is. Methods-We represent the heart as an anisotropic cylinder.
