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 ...

Association Between Driving Distance From Nearest Fire Station and  Survival of Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Firefighter first responders dispatched in parallel with emergency medical services (EMS) personnel for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) can provide early defibrillation to improve survival.

Frequency Analysis of Atrial Fibrillation From the Surface Electrocardiogram [PDF]

, 2004
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Neither the natural history of AF nor its response to therapy are sufficiently predictable by clinical and echocardiographic parameters.

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 819-831, April 2025.
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...

High-voltage defibrillator unit with increased energy output from a controlled capacitor storage

Вестник Северо-Кавказского федерального университета
Introduction. It is known that the combination of the main parameters of the defibrillation pulse, such as its duration, leading edge steepness, current amplitude, energy and shape, phase amplitude ratio, should provide a therapeutic effect with minimal ...

The Automatic External Cardioverter-Defibrillator [PDF]

, 2004
In-hospital cardiac arrest remains a major problem but new technologies allowing fully automatic external defibrillation are available. These technologies allow the concept of “external therapeutic monitoring” of lethal arrhythmias.

Socio‐economic inequalities and heart failure morbidity and mortality: A systematic review and data synthesis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 927-941, April 2025.
Abstract Socio‐economic status (SES) has been associated with incident and prevalent heart failure (HF), as well as its morbidity and mortality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between SES and HF remains unclear due to inconsistent data. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and data synthesis of the relationship between

Nonlinear physics of electrical wave propagation in the heart: a review [PDF]

, 2016
The beating of the heart is a synchronized contraction of muscle cells (myocytes) that are triggered by a periodic sequence of electrical waves (action potentials) originating in the sino-atrial node and propagating over the atria and the ventricles ...
