An in-depth understanding of the interface between cells and nanostructures is one of the
key challenges for coupling electrically excitable cells and electronic devices. Recently …

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Pacemakers, de? brillators, and pulse generators may
employ various multiple-chamber electrode arrangements in the hearts of patients. Four …

The preexcitation syndromes have fascinated electrocardiographers and
electrophysiologists for decades. The wide variety of anatomic, electrophysiologic, and …

BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to describe our initial experience with a tiered-
therapy, variable detection criteria, multiprogrammable antiarrhythmia device capable of …

Objectives To increase awareness of the potential for disabling anxiety and depression in
patients receiving shocks from implanted cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Patients and …

The coexistence of bradycardia and a tachyarrhythmia may preclude effective
pharmacologic treatment of 1 arrhythmia without paradoxic aggravation of the other. This …

Seventy-seven patients with drug-refractory sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT)(28
patients) or ventricular fibrillation (VF)(49 patients) underwent implantation of an automatic …

Objectives. This study compared the efficacy and safety of two antitachycardia pacing
algorithms in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia. Background. There is agreement that …

The automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD) effectively prevents death due to
ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Some patients who need an AICD also …
