Dynamic analysis of cardiac rhythms for discriminating atrial fibrillation from lethal ventricular arrhythmias.
BACKGROUND Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), the first line of therapy for preventing sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients, deliver appropriate shocks for termination of ventricular tachycardia (VT)/ventricular fibrillation. A common shortcoming of ICDs is imperfect rhythm discrimination, resulting in the delivery of inappropriate shocks for atrial fibrillation (AF). An unde...

Gillis, MD ABSRACT: Sex-specific differences in the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, clinical treatment, and clinical outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF), sustained ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death are recognized. Sex hormones cause differences in cardiac ele...

node as the region responsible for activation of the heart.1 Laslett first suggested sinus node dysfunction as a cause of bradycardia in 1909, and during the 1950s and 1960s Short, Ferrer, Lown, and others described the clinical spectrum of sinus node dysfunction that is commonly called the “sick sinus syndrome resting sinus bradycardia.”2-5 Sinus node dysfunction can have multiple electrocardi...

QUINIDINE occupies an almost unique place in the therapy of cardiac arrhythmias. In the 45-odd years of its clinical use only very few drugs possessing similar pharmacologic properties have been found, but none could match quinidine in its broad therapeutic applications. Consequently, the knowledge concerning its clinical use and toxicity is of considerable importance, for patients who tolerate...

During recent years, engineers and physicists have become increasingly interested in studying the electrical activity of the heart. Despite the fact that the heart is a complex and highly nonlinear system, its electrical behavior can be studied using a variety of experimental and clinical techniques, and can be modeled mathematically using relatively simple systems of differential equations, al...
