Mar 28th, 2023 - RENEW's Surveillance Monitoring system is made up of two main components: a patient-worn wireless vital signs monitor (Aingeal) that transmits data over Wi-Fi to a central station software platform (Surveillance Station). The Aingeal device measur...

Mar 25th, 2023 - Treatment options for high-risk Brugada syndrome (BrS) with recurrent ventricular fibrillation (VF) are limited. Catheter ablation is increasingly performed but a large study with long-term outcome data is lacking. We report the results of the mul...

Mar 25th, 2023 - Characterization of the incidence of spontaneous arrhythmias to identify possible drug-related effects is often an important part of the analysis in safety pharmacology studies using telemetry. A retrospective analysis in non-clinical species with...

Mar 24th, 2023 - Ventricular fibrillation (VF) can be initiated by ventricular premature depolarizations (VPDs) in the absence of obvious structural abnormalities. To determine the prevalence of 12-lead ECG sinus rhythm reduced QRS amplitude, QRS fractionation (QR...

Mar 23rd, 2023 - Deep brain stimulation devices can disrupt cardiac rhythm interpretation by causing electrocardiogram artifact. We report the case of a deep brain stimulating device initiating ventricular fibrillation simulated electrocardiogram artifact in the p...

Jun 17th, 2020 - This Canadian Cardiovascular Society position statement is focused on the management of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) that occurs in patients with structural heart disease (SHD), including previous myocar...

Dec 21st, 2018 - Antiarrhythmic medications are commonly administered during and immediately after a ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia cardiac arrest. However, it is unclear whether these medications improve patient outcomes. This 2018 Ame...

Nov 30th, 2018 - This European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines for Resuscitation 2018 update is focused on the role of antiarrhythmic drugs during advanced life support for cardiac arrest with shock refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular ...

May 12th, 2017 - To assess the evidence and make evidence-based recommendations for acute interventions to reduce brain injury in adult patients who are comatose after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Published literature from 1966 to August 29, 2016, was...

Mar 20th, 2009 - The Clinical Guidelines Committee of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery provides this professional view on resuscitation in cardiac arrest after cardiac surgery. This document was created using a multimodal methodology for eviden...

Mar 28th, 2023 - RENEW's Surveillance Monitoring system is made up of two main components: a patient-worn wireless vital signs monitor (Aingeal) that transmits data over Wi-Fi to a central station software platform (Surveillance Station). The Aingeal device measur...

Mar 20th, 2023 - Victims arriving to, or experiencing witnessed Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) or Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) out of hospital cardiac arrest in, the UAB emergency department with greater than 10 minutes of conventional ACLS will be eligible. The st...

Mar 13th, 2023 - Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of sudden death in Europe and the United States. Mortality is currently close to 40% among those patients who had been successfully resuscitated after OHCA associated with ventricular fibril...

Mar 10th, 2023 - The mechanism by which caffeine might change cardiac electrophysiologic properties is largely unknown. Most of the prior studies conducted have evaluated the correlation based on the premise of oral consumption. One caveat among such study designs...

Mar 10th, 2023 - Sudden death from ventricular arrhythmia is a serious and common complication of myocardial infarction, especially with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implantation is currently recommended at...

Mar 13th, 2023 - Cardiac arrest during labor and delivery appeared more common than previously seen -- particularly for older, Black, and low-income pregnant patients -- but with better survival rates, according to a national study. Among women admitted for delive...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Anthracycline users with breast cancer or lymphoma had an upfront risk of congestive heart failure (CHF) that persisted during long-term follow-up in a population-based case-control study. The cumulative incidence of new-onset CHF was significantl...

Dec 1st, 2022 -   Emergencies happen anywhere, anytime — and sometimes physicians find themselves in situations where they are the only ones who can help. Is There a Doctor in the House? is a new Medscape series telling these stories. I was at mile 3 when the fir...

Nov 7th, 2022 - Among patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF), survival to hospital discharge was more frequent with double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) and vector-change (VC) defibrillation than with the standard approach, a cluster-r...

Oct 13th, 2022 - Individuals who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with nonshockable presentations have a better chance of survival when first responders use a novel CPR approach that includes gradual head-up positioning combined with basic but effe...
