Maximal shock strength for the implantable defibrillator: How much is enough?Windecker, StephanKay, G NealWalcott, Gregory PIdeker, Raymond E
What is an ICD? An implantable cardioverter defibrillator, commonly known as an ICD, is a device designed to administer lifesaving therapy in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). When the ICD senses a dangerously high heart rate, it will send an electrical pulse to your heart to re...
Updated cardiologic guidelines constitute the background for an extended spectrum of indications for the implantation of automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (AICDs) and lead to an increasing number of operative implantations of AICDs. Moreover, during implantation of devices for cardiac ...
While it's often referred to simply as "cryotherapy" in popular media, the practice should be called "whole-body cryotherapy" to distinguish it from "local cryotherapy," which is a much-used and highly effective medical application. When applying local cryotherapy, doctors use liquid nitrogen to...
Manufacturing is applying generative AI to optimize the design of medical devices such as prosthetics and implants, tailoring them to the needs of individual patients. And medtech company Implicity is using the technology to incorporate remote monitoring in pacemakers and implantable defibrillators. ...

A pacemaker check pre-operatively is only required if the pacemaker appears to be malfunctioning or has not been checked within the preceding 12 months. The operating surgeon should be made aware of patients with pacemakers as this will influence diathermy choice. An implanted cardiac defibrillator ...
Terrestrial translation of biomedical advances is insufficient justification for lunar exploration. However, terrestrial translation should be viewed as a
One is a special kind of pacemaker. It’s called a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P) or "biventricular pacemaker." The other is the same device, but it also includes a built-in implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). This type is called a cardiac resynchronization therapy...
(4) Cost–benefit analyses measures the effects of tests in terms of how much individuals would be willing to pay (WTP) for them. This allows including non-health benefits into the analysis. Also, it allows for a comparison of value for money beyond the health- care sector. In a very ...
