Background Persistent shockable rhythms (refractory to or recurring after three or more defibrillation attempts) are ...

When implanting a subcutaneous ICD, routine defibrillation testing could be safely skipped when using a scoring system to ...

The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Nov. 24, studied patient outcomes for three methods of defibrillation: standard defibrillation; double sequential external defibrillation ...

“Defibrillation testing can be safely omitted after S-ICD implantation when guided by the PRAETORIAN score,” Knops concluded, ...

Registry data suggest that one third of the patients who would benefit most are not receiving timely defibrillation. In the U.S., in-hospital cardiac arrest occurs about twice as often as ...

Some patients are having their defibrillation leads taken out early due to shock coil calcification, according to an FDA alert. Boston Scientific has informed healthcare providers that device leads ...

A new observational study suggests the position in which responders initially place the two defibrillator pads on the body may make a significant difference in returning spontaneous blood circulation ...

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 ...

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

The global defibrillator market is highly competitive, dominated by established multinational manufacturers and a growing number of innovative technology-driven companies. In such an environment, ...
