The implantable defibrillator in ventricular arrhythmias

Hospital Practice
R A Winkle

Abstract

The most common cause of sudden cardiac death appears to be electrical instability that culminates in ventricular fibrillation. The implantable defibrillator, a self-contained diagnostic-therapeutic system, provides automatic detection and correction of malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Principles involved in its development are reviewed, as are initial clinical results.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

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.
