The Subcutaneous Defibrillator
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2012Prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains an important clinical problem. Currently, therapeutic goals for SCD prevention include identification of high risk patients and aggressively treating comorbidities underlying. However, many patients remain at increased risk despite optimal medical management (eg, coronary artery disease and ...

Technological advances have increased life expectancy and improved quality of life for patients with heart disease. A new device, called the wearable defibrillator, is designed to provide monitoring and defibrillation capability for patients who have had an infarct and those awaiting heart transplantation.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2001
PAVRI, B.B., et al.: Unipolar Defibrillator? An unusual case of “unipolar” pacing and myopotential oversensing leading to an inappropriate ICD shock in a patient with an implanted defibrillator is reported. The reasons for unipolar behavior in a system using a committed bipolar device are discussed.

The Subcutaneous Defibrillator
Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2017The transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been shown in multiple studies to be effective in the prevention of sudden cardiac death in select populations. The Achilles heel of traditional ICD technology has been the transvenous lead.

Cardioversion and defibrillation
American Heart Journal, 1980The use of electrical energy for the immediate treatment of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias is practical and easily applied. The method, though simple, is the most effective method for terminating cardiac arrhythmias and is associated with only a low risk if properly employed. In symptomatic patients, the utilization of cardioversion reduces patient

There is much evidence that defibrillation is the most effective treatment for cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, but only where automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are installed and staff are trained to use them.

Transtelephonic defibrillation
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1989This study was undertaken to assess the safety and reliability of a device for transtelephonic defibrillation.The transtelephonic system consists of a patient unit and a base station. The patient unit contains a monitor-defibrillator, electrode pads, microphone, microprocessor, and DC defibrillator. The base station comprises a control panel, computer,
