In a paper published this week in Chaos, by AIP Publishing, researchers from Sergio Arboleda University in Bogotá, Colombia, and the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta used an ...

Positioning defibrillator pads on the front and back of the body, rather than on the front and side, could be more effective at treating cardiac arrests, new research suggests. When you purchase ...

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 ...

Despite advances in defibrillation technology, shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation remains common during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Double sequential external defibrillation (DSED; rapid ...

A computer model of the voltage field in a portion of the atria, with each box progressing in time up to 20 seconds after fibrillation begins. The authors discovered adjusting the duration and the ...
