Defibrillator Threshold Testing

, 2013
Since implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) were first introduced, defibrillator threshold (DFT) testing was considered an integral part of the implant procedure. Perform‐ ing DFT testing verifies the ability of the ICD in detecting and aborting the lethal arrhythmia it was designed to treat. The process has evolved with the development of the

Optoelectronic Interfaces for Nongenetic Modulation of Excitable Tissues

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in nongenetic optoelectronic technologies for the modulation of excitable biotissues, covering material selection, device design, and working principles, as well as characterization methods. Representative applications in in vitro and in vivo models of the cardiac, central, and peripheral nervous systems are ...

Cluster‐Randomized Trials in Emergency Care Research

Academic Emergency Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cluster‐randomized trials (also called group‐randomized trials) are increasingly common in emergency care research. In such trials, groups of participants are allocated to different interventions based on naturally occurring “clusters,” such as clinics, hospitals, or emergency medical services agencies. In this methodological review,

A core outcome set for airway management research

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Airway management research has historically incorporated heterogeneous outcome selection and definitions. This impedes evidence synthesis and hinders advances in patient care. We aimed to develop a core outcome set to standardise airway management research and improve outcome reporting.

Neurophysiological Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Chronic Complete Spinal Cord Injury

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
TESCS‐ABT induced neurophysiological changes in individuals with chronic complete SCI, however these did not consistently translate into functional improvements. These findings highlight the role of residual supraspinal connectivity and inform future research to optimise this neurotechnology for SCI rehabilitation and identify likely responders ...

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.

Follow‐Up of Left‐Ventricular Assist Device Patients With Telemonitoring: A National Retrospective Multicentric Study on the Satelia LVAD Web Application

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
We evaluated the usefulness of remote monitoring for advanced heart failure patients using left‐ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in France. A national, retrospective study on a web application (Satelia) at nine locations was conducted. Specialized remote monitoring could facilitate LVAD follow‐ups and improve outcomes.

The implanted defibrillator: relation of defibrillating lead configuration and clinical variables to defibrillation threshold

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1985
Forty-two defibrillating lead systems for the automatic implantable defibrillator were implanted and tested in 41 patients. Two basic lead configurations were used: 1) spring-patch, consisting of a transvenous superior vena cava spring electrode as the anode and an apical or left lateral ventricular patch electrode (either small [13.9 cm2] or large [27.

Population‐Based Study Found Low Risk of Misdiagnosing Long QT Syndrome as Breath‐Holding Spells in Swedish Children

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim An electrocardiogram is commonly recommended in breath‐holding spell management, mainly to rule out long QT syndrome. This retrospective study investigated the risk of long QT syndrome being misdiagnosed as breath‐holding spells in a paediatric population in southern Sweden.

IMPLANTATION OF AN ICD AND DFT TESTING IN PATIENT WITH PERSISTENT LEFT SUPERIOR VENA CAVA

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2015
Aim. The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator [ICD] has been proven to reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death through the termination of ventricular fibrillation and life-threatening ventricular tachycardia.
