AtaCor, a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) company, develops extravascular defibrillation technologies. Its offerings aim to ...

Scientists have found a nicer, milder, and literally less shocking way to reset the electrical turbulences of our hearts. And they’ve slashed the amount of energy needed! Less dramatic, yes… but the ...

North Shore University Hospital’s cardiology team became the first to complete a procedure using the novel OmniaSecure ...

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 ...

Medtronic this week launched its OmniaSecure defibrillation lead in the U.S., describing it as the world's smallest.

Correcting the irregular heartbeat of an arrhythmia with a standard defibrillator can be a shocking experience that jolts the patient and sometimes leaves residual damage to the very heart muscle that ...

Using light pulses as a model for electrical defibrillation, scientists developed a method to assess and modulate the heart function. The research team has thus paved the way for an efficient and ...

First-of-its-kind Aurora EV-ICD™ system offers single device, single procedure with lead placed outside of heart and veins FDA approval of the Medtronic Aurora EV-ICD system includes the system's ...

When it comes to affairs of the heart, love taps are preferred over love jolts. That is the result of a team of heart researchers including Igor Efimov, Ph.D., associate professor of biomedical ...

OBJECTIVETo determine the use of epinephrine (adrenaline) before defibrillation for treatment of in-hospital cardiac arrest due to a ventricular arrhythmia and examine its association with patient ...

Doctors are implanting high-tech heart devices in thousands of people who probably do not need them, a new study finds. The procedures cost more than $35,000, involve surgery and anesthesia, and may ...

The sudden death of Anil Agarwal's son due to cardiac arrest has once again brought focus on a life-saving distinction between cardiac arrest and heart attacks. Read on to know about all differences.
