RA Gray… - Nature, 2011 - nature.com ... Editor's summary. Towards safer heart resuscitation. Cardiac defibrillation is usually achieved using a single high-energy electric shock of up to 4,000 volts, which can be damaging to the heart tissue. Eberhard Bodenschatz and ...
NO Silva Filho, IT Velasco… - US Patent …, 2011 - freepatentsonline.com ... So far, the only treatment available for this arrhythmia is electricdefibrillation. According to recommendations of the “American Heart Association”, electricdefibrillation should always be tried as a first treatment, and may later be associated to the use of pharmaceuticals. ...

However, given the strong electric fields used during defibrillation and the anisotropic properties of cardiac muscle, we wondered if electrostriction might play any role during defibrillation, or in other applications in which large electric fields are applied. ...

This is a reasonable assumption because the current for the electric defibrillation is much lower than the correspond- ing current for magnetic stimulation. ... Related articles - All 3 versions
