Association Between Defibrillation Using LIFEPAK 15 or ZOLL X Series and Survival Outcomes in Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Nationwide Cohort Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Defibrillation is essential for achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with shockable rhythms.

Optogenetic Hyperpolarization of Cardiomyocytes Terminates Ventricular Arrhythmia

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Cardiac defibrillation to terminate lethal ventricular arrhythmia (VA) is currently performed by applying high energy electrical shocks. In cardiac tissue, electrical shocks induce simultaneously de- and hyperpolarized areas and only depolarized areas ...

Model Checking Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Ventricular Fibrillation is a disorganized electrical excitation of the heart that results in inadequate blood flow to the body. It usually ends in death within seconds. The most common way to treat the symptoms of fibrillation is to implant a medical device, known as an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), in the patient's body.

Real-World Data Analysis of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Background: One of the common causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young people is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and the primary prevention of SCD is with an implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). Concerning the incidence of appropriate ICD therapy and the complications associated with ICD implantation and discharge, patients with ...

Intraoperative Defibrillation Testing of Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Systems—A Simple Issue?

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
Background The results of the recently published randomized SIMPLE trial question the role of routine intraoperative defibrillation testing. However, testing is still recommended during implantation of the entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter ...

Implementation of guideline‐recommended medical therapy for patients with heart failure in Europe

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 790-798, April 2025.
Abstract Physicians' adherence to guideline‐recommended heart failure (HF) treatment remains suboptimal, especially regarding the target doses. In particular, there is evidence that non‐cardiologists are less compliant with HF guideline recommendations. This is likely to have a detrimental impact on patients' survival, readmissions and quality of life.

Chaos control in cardiac dynamics: terminating chaotic states with local minima pacing

Frontiers in Network Physiology
Current treatments of cardiac arrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation involve the application of a high-energy electric shock, that induces significant electrical currents in the myocardium and therefore involves severe side effects like possible ...

Impact of defibrillation with automated external defibrillator by bystander before defibrillation by emergency medical system personnel on neurological outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with non-cardiac etiology

Resuscitation Plus, 2023
Aim of the study: Although defibrillation using automated external defibrillator (AED) by bystander prior to emergency medical system (EMS) arrival was associated with favorable outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) of cardiac cause, whether ...

Improving bystander defibrillation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest : capability, opportunity and motivation [PDF]

, 2018
In this issue of Resuscitation Sondergaard et al. [1] report that the likelihood of receiving bystander defibrillation decreases quickly as the distance from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) to the nearest Automated External Defibrillator (AED ...
