You can usually go home the same day. Cardioversion and defibrillation are not the same. Both procedures use shocks to make the heart's rhythm return to normal. Defibrillation uses stronger ...

They discovered far less energy is needed than is currently used in state-of-the-art defibrillation techniques. The results were not at all what we expected. We learned the mechanism for ultra-low ...

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 discovered far less energy is needed than is currently used in state-of-the-art defibrillation techniques. "The results were not at all what we expected. We learned the mechanism for ultra ...

There must be proper testing of pacing and sensing as well as defibrillation thresholds. Induction of ventricular fibrillation more than once during the procedure is routine. Proper ICD ...

PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — OSF Healthcare doctors performed a first-of-its-kind procedure to help a two-year-old boy in October.

Jude Medical and Medtronic were also asked about the response of their internal cardioverter defibrillators to ... the tachy therapies off prior to the procedure and reprogram them on afterward.
