Clinical implications of left atrial changes after optimization of medical therapy in patients with heart failure

European Journal of Heart Failure, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 2131-2139, November 2022., 2022
Among patients with new‐onset or worsening heart failure (HF) undergoing optimization of HF medical therapy, dose up‐titration of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (ACEi/ARB) therapy was associated with lower likelihood of left atrial adverse remodelling (LAAR).

The relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy of nurses regarding early initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated defibrillation in Saudi Arabia

Belitung Nursing Journal, 2021
Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation are the most common procedures performed by nurses as the first responders to cardiac arrest patients in the hospital setting. Therefore, nurses are demanded to have high skills for

Effects of high-frequency biphasic shocks on ventricular vulnerability and defibrillation outcomes through synchronized virtual electrode responses.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Electrical defibrillation is a well-established treatment for cardiac dysrhythmias. Studies have suggested that shock-induced spatial sawtooth patterns and virtual electrodes are responsible for defibrillation efficacy. We hypothesize that high-frequency

Advantage of four-electrode over two-electrode defibrillators [PDF]

, 2015
Defibrillation is the standard clinical treatment used to stop ventricular fibrillation. An electrical device delivers a controlled amount of electrical energy via a pair of electrodes in order to reestablish the normal heart rate.

Guideline‐directed medical therapy in patients undergoing transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair for secondary mitral regurgitation

European Journal of Heart Failure, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 2152-2161, November 2022., 2022
Triple guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) prescription was associated with a lower 2‐year mortality compared to non‐triple GDMT prescription (A). Such association was observed in patients with concomitant comorbidities (B). CI, confidence interval; CKD, chronic kidney disease; CMP, cardiomyopathy; HR, hazard ratio; MRA, mineralocorticoid ...

A Novel Solution for the High Defibrillation Threshold in Patients with a DF-4 Lead: Adding a High Voltage Adaptor/Splitter

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
A high defibrillation threshold occurs in approximately 6% of implants. The defibrillation threshold can be improved by addition of a defibrillation lead. However, the DF-4 high energy ICD header precludes the addition of a defibrillation lead.

Use of guideline‐recommended medical therapy in patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease: from physician's prescriptions to patient's dispensations, medication adherence and persistence

European Journal of Heart Failure, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 2185-2195, November 2022., 2022
