Electric shock can disrupt the electric signals that coordinate the beating of a person’s heart, causing an irregular heartbeat which is called an arrhythmia. When the heart beats too fast, it istachycardia. When it beats too slow, it isbradycardia. Ventricular fibrillation is a very dangerous...
An implantable electrical heart defibrillation system for both ventricle and atrium is proposed and is characterized in that it acts in a manner such as:to diagnose the type of arrhythmia within a maximum time of 2 seconds from the onset of the arrhythmia;< P>to deliver the therapeutic shock ...
shock to control this arrhythmia. Except for this one patient, all arrhythmias were transient and self-limited. All patients survived the procedure, and there were no complications due to the new arrhythmias.Although there were only 7 patients who were not receiving digitalis, 3 of these 7 ...
Problem with the electricity is that it interferes with the regular heart beat, by disrupting the nerve impulses that trigger the heart and then the arrhythmia happens; that can end up tragically in most of the cases… Reply Editor's Picks Article Electric Shock Injury Side Effects Info...
A heart is monitored to sense an ECG signal. The sensed ECG signal is then amplified and low-pass filtered before it is digital... RL Verrier,BD Nearing - US 被引量: 246发表: 1992年 Myocardial Vulnerability to T Wave Shocks: Relation to Shock Strength, Shock Coupling Interval, and ...
heart rate and it was beating with an incredible pulse, but I could also feel what I can only describe as electrical tension in areas of my body with my heart being the centre of it, as I was trying to control my breathing I felt this intense electric shock, coming from my heart. Th...
contracting properly and they might die rapidly if no proper action is taken," said Dr Däniel Pijnappels, a heart scientist at Leiden University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, who has just begun a first-of-a-kind study to try to have hearts shock themselves back into a normal rhythm...
Much has been written on the effects of electric shock on the body. However, in those cases in which victims become pulseless and therefore die suddenly, the underlying event has assuredly been . In this condition of the heart, all of the muscle fibers of the ventricles, the main pumping ...
Method of determining the optimum duration of an electric pulse for counter-shock treatment of cardiac arrhythmiaMethod of determining the optimum duration of an electric pulse for counter-shock treatment of cardiac arrhythmiaThe present invention provides apparatus and methods for delivering an optimum e...
Electromagnetic fields and health effects--epidemiologic studies of cancer, diseases of the central nervous system and arrhythmia-related heart disease. This epidemiologic investigation comprised separate studies of the risk of cancer, cause-specific mortality rates, risks for neurodegenerative diseases, an....
