Risk of defibrillation threshold testing in severe heart failure patient: A case of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) with acute myocardial infarction

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2012
Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing is usually recommended after device implantation to confirm appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)/cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) function [1,2].

Combining Amplitude Spectrum Area with Previous Shock Information Using Neural Networks Improves Prediction Performance of Defibrillation Outcome for Subsequent Shocks in Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
OBJECTIVE:Quantitative ventricular fibrillation (VF) waveform analysis is a potentially powerful tool to optimize defibrillation. However, whether combining VF features with additional attributes that related to the previous shock could enhance the ...

Successful intermuscular implantation of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator in a Japanese patient with pectus excavatum

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
The entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) system was developed to provide a life-saving defibrillation therapy that does not affect the heart and vasculature.

Ventricular defibrillation using biphasic waveforms: The importance of phasic duration [PDF]

, 1989
Biphasic waveforms can be used to defibrillate the heart with less energy than that used by monophasic waveforms. In 14 anesthetized open chest dogs with large contoured defibrillation electrodes, the effect on defibrillation efficacy of varying the ...

Decreased Defibrillation Threshold and Minimized Myocardial Damage With Left Axilla Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Implantation.

Circulation Journal, 2016
BACKGROUND To reduce myocardial damage caused by implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shock, the left axilla was studied as an alternative pulse generator implantation site, and compared with the traditional implantation site, the left anterior ...

The Circadian Variation of Atrial Defibrillation Thresholds

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2003
A circadian variation exists for ventricular defibrillation thresholds (DFTs) with a morning peak and a corresponding decrease in therapy success rates from implantable cardioverter defibrillators. Such a variation in atrial DFTs may have implications for the timing of internal cardioversion of atrial arrhythmias. The aim of this study was therefore to
