Prediction of defibrillation success is of vital importance to guide therapy and improve the survival of patients suffering out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Currently, the most efficient methods to predict shock ...
Background: Ventricular fibrillation is routinely induced during implantable cardioverter-
-defibrillator insertion to assess defibrillator performance, but this strategy is experiencing
a progressive decline. We aimed ...
[EN] Electromechanical coupling studies have described the intervention of nitric oxide and S-nitrosylation processes in Ca2+ release induced by stretch, with heterogeneous findings. On the other hand, ion channel function ...
[EN] PurposeMechanical stretch increases sodium and calcium entry into myocytes and activates the late sodium current. GS967, a triazolopyridine derivative, is a sodium channel blocker with preferential effects on the late ...
[ES] Introducción y objetivos
Se han implicado diversos mecanismos en la respuesta mecánica al estiramiento miocárdico, que incluyen la activación del intercambiador Na+/H+ por acciones autocrinas y paracrinas. Se estudia ...
[EN] Introduction and objectives: An analysis was made of the effects of a radiofrequency-induced linear lesion during ventricular fibrillation and the capacity to capture myocardium through high-frequency pacing.
Methods: ...
Background: Early prognosis in comatose survivors after cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) is unreliable, especially in patients undergoing mild hypothermia. We aimed at developing a reliable risk-score ...
[EN] Background¿ Ventricular fibrillation (VF) has been proposed to be maintained by localized high-frequency sources. We tested whether spectral-phase analysis of the precordial ECG enabled identification of periodic ...
