The year 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). During these past 50 years, tremendous research has been conducted to evaluate techniques, ...
Joshua Lupton, M.D., has no memory of his own cardiac arrest in 2016. He only knows that first responders resuscitated his heart with a shock from a defibrillator, ultimately leading to his complete ...
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 ...

Pulseless ventricular tachycardia occurs when an abnormally rapid heart rate originating in the heart’s lower chambers makes a pulse undetectable. Emergency cardiac defibrillation is usually necessary ...
Mortality after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest from ventricular fibrillation is high. Programs focusing on early defibrillation have improved the rate of survival to hospital discharge. We conducted a ...
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Electrophysiologists at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (TCAI) at St. David's Medical Center recently became the first in the nation to implant an ...
Epinephrine improves ROSC in cardiac arrest but does not increase favorable neurologic recovery, raising ethical and ...
LANSING — A new type of heart defibrillator was implanted for the first time in Michigan during a December procedure at E.W. Sparrow Hospital. The device is able to give a more normal life to people ...
