Patch-Wearable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Safe and Effective
Low rates of adverse cutaneous effects seen with successful, appropriate life-saving shocks
Lasting Benefits Seen for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy With Defibrillator
Benefits observed in patients with reduced ejection fraction, widened QRS complex, NYHA class II or III heart failure
ESC: Bystander Defibrillation Improves Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survival
Effect was significant even for EMS response times as short as two to four minutes
AHA: Other Defibrillation Strategies Studied for Refractory V-Fib
Survival to hospital discharge higher with use of double sequential external defibrillation compared with standard defibrillation
Efficacy, Safety of Extravascular ICD Explored
The extravascular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator system is premarket and has not yet been approved by the FDA
Optimized AED Placement Might Improve Cardiac Arrest Outcomes
Better access to automated external defibrillators could up coverage for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
CIED Complication Rates Vary Considerably Among Hospitals
Rates from 5.3 to 14.3 percent seen in hospitals that implanted at least 25 devices during study period
Some Heart Failure Patients May Benefit From CRT Defibrillator
Findings seen in patients with non-left bundle branch block eligible for cardiac resynchronization therapy
AI Can Identify Model of Cardiac Rhythm Device From Chest X-Ray
Neural network's performance significantly exceeds ability of cardiologists
Cardioverter-Defibrillator Vests Do Not Cut Sudden Death Post MI
No drop in arrhythmic death among patients with acute MI, ejection fraction of less than 35 percent
