Comparison of Resuscitation Outcomes Between 2‐ or 3‐Stacked Defibrillation Strategies With Minimally Interrupted Chest Compression and the Single Defibrillation Strategy: A Swine Cardiac Arrest Model

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background There is controversy over whether the number and mode of electrical shock are optimal for successful defibrillation. Methods and Results Fifty‐four pigs were randomly assigned to 3 groups. After inducing ventricular fibrillation and a 2‐minute

Trajectories in New York Heart Association functional class in heart failure across the ejection fraction spectrum: data from the Swedish Heart Failure Registry

European Journal of Heart Failure, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 2093-2104, November 2022., 2022
Stable New York Heart Association (NYHA) class over time was much more frequent than an improvement or a worsening. Follow‐up NYHA class assessment, but not change in NYHA class over time, was independently associated with better prognosis. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.

Defibrillation via the Elimination of Spiral Turbulence in a Model for Ventricular Fibrillation [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, Vol. 86, 3678-3681 (2001), 2001
Ventricular fibrillation, the major reason behind sudden cardiac death, is turbulent cardiac electrical activity in which rapid, irregular disturbances in the spatiotemporal electrical activation of the heart makes it incapable of any concerted pumping action.

Right ventricular dysfunction predicts outcome after transcatheter mitral valve repair for primary mitral valve regurgitation

European Journal of Heart Failure, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 2162-2171, November 2022., 2022
RVD predicts outcome after M‐TEER for PMR. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; PMR, primary mitral regurgitation; RVD, right ventricular dysfunction. Abstract Aims Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), as expressed by right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, has recently been identified as a strong outcome predictor in patients undergoing ...

Self-restoration of cardiac excitation rhythm by anti-arrhythmic ion channel gating

eLife, 2020
Homeostatic regulation protects organisms against hazardous physiological changes. However, such regulation is limited in certain organs and associated biological processes. For example, the heart fails to self-restore its normal electrical activity once

High-energy external defibrillation and transcutaneous pacing during MRI: feasibility and safety

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2019
Background Rapid application of external defibrillation, a crucial first-line therapy for ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest, is currently unavailable in the setting of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), raising concerns about patient safety ...

Is defibrillation testing required for defibrillator implantation?

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2004
The assessment of defibrillation (DFT) efficacy has long been the standard of care during defibrillator implantation. To ensure an acceptable DFT safety margin, early defibrillator systems frequently required that the shock polarity and the location, type, or number of electrodes had to be altered.

Ethnic differences in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest among Middle Eastern Arabs and North African populations living in Qatar [PDF]

, 2019
Aims: There are very few studies comparing epidemiology and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in different ethnic groups. Previous ethnicity studies have mostly determined OHCA differences between African American and Caucasian ...

Defibrillation and cardioversion [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2001
Going back to the ‘archaic past and to obsolete ancestors’ [1] provides insight not only where we came from but where we might be heading. Indeed history matters in medicine as it does in everyday life. It is now 40 years since the introduction of DC defibrillation and cardioversion [2,3].
