Clinical predictors of defibrillation energy requirements

The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

In implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy with endocardial lead systems, certain clinical variables are associated with defibrillation energy requirements. Because of the weak correlation coefficients, these variables cannot predict defibrillation thresholds in individual patients.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
