Heart ablation is a procedure that treats arrhythmias, such as SVT, by destroying small areas of heart tissue that cause irregular heartbeats, using either heat or cold delivered via catheters. The ...

TRANSIENT arrhythmias are frequently encountered during catheterization of the right side of the heart. 1 They occur most frequently during manipulation of the catheter in the atrium as isolated ...

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 ...

Despite advances in defibrillation technology, shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation remains common during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Double sequential external defibrillation (DSED; rapid ...

Clinicians caring for vulnerable babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) need to closely monitor their vital signs, but precisely gauging the function of their tiny hearts has remained ...

Doctors treating babies born with Turner syndrome need to look for heart rhythm abnormalities, in addition to the usual heart problems of high blood pressure or left-sided structural heart defects, ...

Your heart’s job is to keep your pulse steady to pump blood throughout your body. Sometimes your heart rate is slower when you’re relaxing, and sometimes it’s faster when you’re exercising or stressed ...
