Oct 23rd, 2021 - Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) linear ablation is performed not only for atrial flutter (AFL) but empirically during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in real-world practice. We sought to evaluate the safety and durability of the CTI ablation. This ...

Oct 23rd, 2021 - This is a case report regarding the use of non-conventional methods to perform internal cardiac defibrillation on a trauma patient in an austere environment. The patient was a polytrauma causality of an improvised explosive device who arrived to a...

Oct 22nd, 2021 - Mortality associated with prescription opioids has significantly increased over the past few decades and is considered a global pandemic. Prescribed opioids can cause cardiac arrhythmias, leading to fatal outcomes and unexpected death, even in the...

Oct 20th, 2021 - Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) show an inflammatory response. The level of systemic inflammation is known to affect platelet aggregation function and antiplatelet therapy, which leads to different clinical prognosis. This...

Oct 19th, 2021 - Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is characterised by multiple wavelets and rotors. No equation to predict the number of rotors and wavelets observed during fibrillation has been validated in human VF. We hypothesized a single equation derived from a ...

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...

Sep 24th, 2021 - Norepinephrine was recommended as the first vasopressor for septic shock resuscitation. For the patient who did not response to high dose norepinephrine, epinephrine was recommended. Both norepinephrine and epinephrine action via the alpha adrener...

Sep 17th, 2021 - Diastolic dysfunction represents an abnormality in left ventricular relaxation and/or compliance that changes the onset, rate and extent of LV pressure decline and filling during diastole. These changes cause an abnormal relation between LV pressu...

Sep 5th, 2021 - Background The majority of newborn infants successfully make the transition from fetal to neonatal life without any help. However, an estimated 10% of newborns need help to establish effective ventilation, which remains the most critical step of n...

May 5th, 2021 - Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are strongly recommended in patients with left ventricular systolic function ≤35% or selected patients with channelopathies and cardiomyopathies. Defibrillation threshold testing (DFT) defines the mini...

Oct 12th, 2021 - Animal and human models of the effects of therapeutic hypothermia, now called targeted temperature management (TTM), began to surface in the late 1980s. The first randomized clinical trial employing TTM as a neuroprotective strategy following card.

Jun 28th, 2021 - The resuscitation of Danish professional soccer player Christian Eriksen on the pitch, in front of millions of people, is a chance to consider how the United States could do better in the prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac death (SCD).   T...

May 18th, 2021 - Combined data from five implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) trials suggest that it is the underlying arrhythmic disorder, rather than the ICD therapy itself, that affects mortality in these patients. Analysis of the MADIT II, MADIT-RISK, ...

Mar 15th, 2021 - Cardiac arrest stemming from opioid overdose is clinically different from other types of cardiac arrest, and targeted education is needed to help the lay public and emergency medical personnel promptly recognize and respond to it, the American Hea...
