Refractoriness to subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator after frequent therapies for ventricular fibrillation storms in a Brugada syndrome case

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is an alternative to the transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator for the prevention of sudden cardiac death.

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

Indian 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).

Advances in Safe, Flexible, and Stretchable Batteries for Wearable Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Unlike previous reviews centered on component‐based deformability, this work highlights safety‐driven design strategies for flexible and stretchable batteries. By integrating material‐level engineering, geometry‐controlled structures, biocompatibility, and self‐protection mechanisms, it establishes a unified framework that connects mechanical ...

Rise in chronic defibrillation thresholds in nonthoracotomy implantable defibrillator. [PDF]

Circulation, 1994
BACKGROUND To establish the chronic stability of defibrillation thresholds (DFTs) in a transvenous cardioverter/defibrillator (TCD) system, we studied 37 consecutive patients with TCD systems implanted for > 6 months. METHODS AND RESULTS DFT was measured by a step-down method at ...
