An Innovative Wireless Cardiac Rhythm Management (iCRM) System [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper, we propose a wireless Communicator to manage and enhance a Cardiac Rhythm Management System. The system includes: (1) an on-body wireless Electrocardiogram (ECG), (2) an Intracardiac Electrogram (EGM) embedded inside an Implantable Cardioverter/Defibrillator, and (3) a Communicator (with a resident Learning System). The first two devices

Elimination of spiral waves in cardiac tissue by multiple electrical shocks [PDF]
, 1999 We study numerically the elimination of a spiral wave in cardiac tissue by application of multiple shocks of external current. To account for the effect of shocks we apply a recently developed theory for the interaction of the external current with ...

Successful low-energy cardioversion using a novel biodegradable gel pad: Feasibility of treating postoperative atrial fibrillation in animals [PDF]
, 2007 ObjectivePostoperative atrial fibrillation is one of the most frequent complications of cardiac surgery. We developed a novel biodegradable gel pad consisting of biopolymers that directly attach to the myocardium by electrostatic interaction. The present

Defibrillation threshold testing at implantation: can we predict the patient with a high defibrillation threshold? [PDF]
Europace, 2010 Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing is an integral part of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. The primary functions of defibrillation assessment are to confirm appropriate sensing of ventricular fibrillation and to establish an adequate safety margin for defibrillation.

Sleep Research, EarlyView.Abstract Background Emergence of periodic leg movements (PLM) on adaptive servo‐ventilation (ASV) is well known in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), but its clinical significance remains unclear. We investigated the effect of ASV on the emergence of PLM with arousal (PLMA) in HFrEF patients with obstructive or ...

Electrostriction Effects During Defibrillation [PDF]
American Journal of Undergraduate Research, VOL. 6, NO. 2, 9-17
(2007), 2011 Background-The electric field applied to the heart during defibrillation causes mechanical forces (electrostriction), and as a result the heart deforms. This paper analyses the physical origin of the deformation, and how significant it is. Methods-We represent the heart as an anisotropic cylinder.

Acute transient non-physiological over-sensing in the ventricle with a DF4 lead
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2015 The DF-4 is a new defibrillator lead technology. We present two cases of non-physiological transient ventricular over-sensing in patients who underwent implantation of an ICD for secondary prevention.

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 ...
