Cost-utility analysis of an implantable cardioverterdefibrillator for the treatment of patients with ischemic or non-ischemic New York Heart Association class II or III heart failure in Colombia

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2019
Introduction: The use of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator reduces the probability of sudden cardiac death in patients with heart failure. Objective: To determine the cost-utility relationship of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator compared

Safe and Simplified Salvage Technique for Exposed Implantable Cardiac Electronic Devices under Local Anesthesia

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2017
Background Skin erosion is a dire complication of implantable cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators. Classical treatments involve removal of the entire generator and lead systems, however, these may result in fatal complications.

The topology of defibrillation [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2004
We describe how Art Winfree's ideas about phase singularities can be used to understand the response of cardiac tissue with a random preexisting pattern of reentrant waves (fibrillation) to a large brief current stimulus. This discussion is organized around spatial dimension, beginning with a discussion of reentry on a periodic ring, followed by ...

A Deep-Learning-Based CPR Action Standardization Method

Sensors
In emergency situations, ensuring standardized cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) actions is crucial. However, current automated external defibrillators (AEDs) lack methods to determine whether CPR actions are performed correctly, leading to ...

Distribution and use of automated external defibrillators and their effect on return of spontaneous circulation in Danish hospitals

Resuscitation Plus, 2022
Introduction: Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) increase survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, the effect of AEDs for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) remains uncertain.

Evolution and Transformation of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy From a High Risk to a Treatable Low Mortality Disease With Contemporary Clinical Research Strategies

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Once considered rare and essentially untreatable with a grim prognosis and reduced life expectancy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has evolved substantially over 6 decades.

Hands-On Defibrillation Skills of Pediatric Acute Care Providers During a Simulated Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest Scenario

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Introduction: Timely defibrillation in ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest (VFCA) is associated with good outcome. While defibrillation skills of pediatric providers have been reported to be poor, the factors related to poor hands-on defibrillation ...

Data deluge from remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices and importance of clinical stratification

Heart Rhythm O2, 2023
Background: Remote monitoring (RM) has been accepted as a standard of care for follow-up of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). However, the resulting data deluge poses major challenge to device clinics.

Inappropriate ICD Shock as a Result of TASER Discharge

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Conducted energy weapon (commonly known as TASER) discharge in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators is known to cause electromagnetic interference and inappropriate ventricular fibrillation sensing without delivery of implantable ...
