Heart defibrillation: relationship between pacing threshold and defibrillation probability [PDF]
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2019 Background Considering the clinical importance of the ventricular fibrillation and that the most used therapy to reverse it has a critical side effect on the cardiac tissue, it is desirable to optimize defibrillation parameters to increase its efficiency.

Shoulder Joint Dislocation as an Unusual Complication of Defibrillation Threshold Testing Following Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Implantation [PDF]
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014 A 53-year-old man underwent implantation of a totally subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD; Boston Scientific). He was positioned supine, with the left arm abducted, externally rotated (i.e. palm up) and strapped to the arm extender.

Predictors of Elevated Defibrillation Threshold with the Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator. [PDF]
J Innov Card Rhythm Manag, 2017 There are limited data regarding defibrillation thresholds (DFTs) for the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD), and factors associated with elevated DFTs remain incompletely understood.

Concept of defibrillation vector in the management of high defibrillation threshold. [PDF]
World J Cardiol, 2013 We present a case where defibrillation threshold was dangerously elevated to the point that the patient had no safety margin, and his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator generator was discovered to have migrated.

Effect of ventricular myocardium characteristics on the defibrillation threshold. [PDF]
Technol Health Care, 2018 Myocardium characteristics differ markedly among individuals and play an important role in defibrillation threshold. The accuracy of simulation models used in most published studies are still have room to be improved and most of them only discussed the ...
