1026-85 Enhanced Defibrillation Efficacy with an Active Pectoral Pulse Generator [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
An active pectoral pulse generator can be incorporated in a single coil defibrillation lead system to achieve low defibrillation thresholds (DFT). However, the incremental benefit of an active pulse generator with an integrated lead system has not been ...

A cracking complication: Displacement of existing clavicle fracture complicating subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation

open access: yesIndian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2020
An 18 year old male with an incompletely healed clavicle fracture presented with unexplained syncope. Subsequent investigations were consistent with a diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).

ICD patients with elevated defibrillation threshold: clinical behavior and therapeutic alternatives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
FUNDAMENTO: A programação ideal da energia de choque do CDI deve ser pelo menos 10 J acima do limiar de desfibrilação (LDF), necessitando de técnicas alternativas quando o LDF é elevado. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o comportamento clínico dos portadores de CDI com

Defibrillation Threshold Testing in Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2008
Since implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) were first introduced in the early 1980s, defibrillation threshold testing (DFT) at the time of implantation has been considered mandatory because the results have been used to predict the likelihood that these devices would successfully ...

Epilepsy–heart syndrome: Concept, clinical context, and opportunity for integrated care

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract In this concept paper, we introduce epilepsy‐heart syndrome as a shared burden of illness between epilepsy and cardiac disorders. This pragmatic definition is agnostic of which condition came first (the epilepsy or the cardiac disorder), recognising that these conditions can each serve as a risk factor for the other owing to a bidirectional ...

Incidence, Risk Factors and Predictors of Phantom Shocks in Patients with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators: State-of-the-art Review

open access: yesArrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review
Background: Extensive research has been devoted to ICDs, but there is still a significant gap in the literature regarding phantom shocks (PSs). Understanding the frequency, predictors, risk factors, management and health implications of PSs is essential.

Suppression of Complex Spiral--Wave Activity in an Ionic Model of Cardiac Tissue by Weak Local Stimulations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2006
On the basis of a quite realistic ionic Fenton--Karma model of the cardiac tissue we consider the problem of defibrillation by a local weak forcing. In contrast to other systems, this model accurately reproduces the most essential mesoscopic properties of the cardiac activity. It is shown that suppression of spiral--wave turbulent dynamics in the heart

Initial dynamics of the EKG during an electrical defibrillation of the heart [PDF]

open access: yes
In tests on 11 mature dogs, immobilized by means of an automatic blocking and synchronization system, artefact free EKG were obtained, beginning 0.04-0.06 sec after passage of a defibrillating current. Different versions of the start of fibrillation were
