Azygous vein coil lowers defibrillation threshold in patients with high defibrillation threshold [PDF]
Europace, 2011 Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce sudden death in patients at high risk. High defibrillation thresholds (DFTs) are not uncommon and may be the cause of failed defibrillation in patients with ICDs. Addition of a coil in the azygous vein posterior to the heart lowers the DFT in most patients by altering the electrical vector during ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1: A comparison between the adult‐ and late‐onset subtype
Muscle &Nerve, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 130-137, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Introduction/Aims Although the extent of muscle weakness and organ complications has not been well studied in patients with late‐onset myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), adult‐onset DM1 is associated with severe muscle involvement and possible life‐threatening cardiac and respiratory complications.

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014 A high defibrillation threshold occurs in approximately 6% of implants. The defibrillation threshold can be improved by addition of a defibrillation lead. However, the DF-4 high energy ICD header precludes the addition of a defibrillation lead.

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator oversensing due to electric shock [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2010 Introduction. We described the first case of oversensing due to electric shock in Serbia, in a 54-year-old man who had implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Case Outline.

Transchest defibrillation under conditions of hypothermia [PDF]
, 1981 This study was conducted to determine whether or not hypothermia changes ventricular defibrillation threshold. Ventricular fibrillation was induced by electrical stimulation of the endocardium in pentobarbital anesthetized dogs, both during normothermia ...

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 19-28, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Objectives Postoperative deviating physiologic values (vital signs) may represent postoperative stress or emerging complications. But they can also reflect chronic preoperative values. Distinguishing between the two circumstances may influence the utility of using vital signs in patient monitoring.

Elevation of ventricular defibrillation threshold in dogs by antiarrhythmic drugs [PDF]
, 1979 Effects of antiarrhythmic drugs upon the threshold delivered energy (TDE) and threshold peak current (TPC) for electrical ventricular defibrillation by damped sinusoidal shocks were investigated in 25 pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs.

Effect of pentobarbital anesthesia on ventricular defibrillation threshold in dogs [PDF]
, 1978 The effect of pentobarbital anesthesia upon the minimal voltage and current required for electrical ventricular defibrillation (the defibrillation threshold) was investigated in dogs. Threshold current, energy, and charge in five dogs averaged 2 per cent,
