In a paper published in Chaos, researchers from Sergio Arboleda University in Bogotá, Colombia, and the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta used an electrophysiological computer model of the ...

Joshua Lupton, M.D., has no memory of his own cardiac arrest in 2016. He only knows that first responders resuscitated his heart with a shock from a defibrillator, ultimately leading to his complete ...

Among patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF), survival to hospital discharge was more frequent with double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) and vector-change (VC) ...

Using light pulses as a model for electrical defibrillation, scientists developed a method to assess and modulate the heart function. The research team has thus paved the way for an efficient and ...

Among recipients of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators, the omission of defibrillation testing (DT) was not associated with significant differences in mortality, or in the rates of ...

The importance of timely defibrillation in persons in cardiac arrest has been established clearly. Although an eight-minute interval between call dispatch and the arrival of a defibrillation team is ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Bystander use of an automated external defibrillator after cardiac arrest improves survival odds at 30 days.

Defibrillation testing of implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) does not improve outcomes compared with device implantation without testing and, therefore, “defibrillation testing during ...

For patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, use of double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) or vector-change (VC) defibrillation results in ...

To the Editor: The study of the time to defibrillation after in-hospital cardiac arrest, reported by Chan et al. (Jan. 3 issue), 1 showed strikingly higher mortality among hospitalized patients with ...

Researchers used an electrophysiological computer model of the heart's electrical circuits to examine the effect of the applied voltage field in multiple fibrillation-defibrillation scenarios. They ...
