New therapy found to prevent heart failure
A landmark study has successfully demonstrated a 29 percent reduction in heart failure or death in patients with heart disease who received an implanted cardiac resynchronization therapy device with defibrillator (CRT-D) versus patients who received only an implanted cardiac defibrillator (ICD-only). view more (2009-06-24)
Study in NEJM: New therapy prevents heart failure
Patients who had a cardiac resynchronization device combined with a defibrillator (CRT-D) implanted had a 34 percent reduction in their risk of death or heart failure when compared to patients receiving only an implanted cardiac defibrillator (ICD). view more (2009-09-02)
15 minutes training enough to save lives with an automated external defibrillator
Just fifteen minutes of training could make it possible for anyone to use a defibrillator to stop sudden cardiac arrest. A study published today in the journal Critical Care shows that a brief training session is all that is needed for safe and efficient use of an automated external defibrillator. view more (2005-01-26)
Practice makes perfect when implanting cardioverter-defibrillator devices
As the implantation of cardioverter-defibrillator devices to prevent sudden cardiac death becomes increasingly popular, patients are likely to get the best results when they are treated by physicians who perform the procedures frequently. view more (2005-10-12)
ICDs effective in helping to prevent sudden cardiac death in patients with certain heart disorder
High-risk patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy appear to have reduced risk of sudden cardiac death with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator that terminates dangerous heart rhythm disorders. view more (2007-07-25)

Implanted defibrillators: New recommendations for drivers with ICDs
Patients with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) have an ongoing risk of sudden incapacitation that might cause harm to others while driving a car. Driving restrictions are imposed making these recommendations an important guideline for patients. view more (2009-06-22)
Implantable medical devices may expose patients to security, privacy risks; solutions suggested
Some medical devices such as implantable cardiac defibrillators and pacemakers are now equipped with wireless technology, allowing for remote device checks and freeing patients from repeated doctor visits. But this convenience may come with unanticipated risks. view more (2008-03-13)
Study finds implantable defibrillators as effective in women as in men
Women who have had a heart attack get as much survival benefit as men from implanted cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), devices designed to monitor the heart's pumping rhythm and shock it back to normal when needed, according to a study published in the December edition of the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology. view more (2005-12-23)
`Chipping` Children Would Not Make Them Safer, Claims Technology Expert
A leading expert on personal location technology at the University of Leicester has hit out at national reports that suggest children might be safer if they were `chipped`. view more (2002-09-09)
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator generator replacement associated with complications
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) generator replacement in Canadian patients with devices that were recalled was associated with an 8 percent rate of complications, according to a study in the April 26 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-04-26)
An implanted nerve stimulator helps drop foot sufferers walk faster and better
The partners in EUREKA project E! 2526 IMPULSE have developed an implanted nerve stimulator which helps patients with drop foot to walk much better. Over 500,000 people suffer from a stroke each year in Europe and 10% of stroke victims are left with drop foot, which causes severe walking problems. view more (2005-02-15)
ESC Congress 2004: Austrian First Aid Defibrillation-Campaign shows advantages of multiprofessional solution
More than 75% in the target group aged 40 to 60 years show awareness - Nine survivors without neurological deficits out of 37 first-aid-defibrillator uses view more (2004-08-31)
Algorithms to reanimate the heart
When an adult suffers a cardiorespiratory arrest the rapid application of an electrical discharge with a defibrillator can avoid sudden death in many cases. Nevertheless, defibrillation also has its impediment or enemy: time. For every minute that passes from the moment of the attack, the possibilities of survival drop by 10%. view more (2007-10-03)
NC State finds new nanomaterial could be breakthrough for implantable medical devices
A team of researchers led by North Carolina State University has made a breakthrough that could lead to new dialysis devices and a host of other revolutionary medical implants. view more (2008-11-11)
Researchers find brain cell transplants help repair neural damage
A Swiss research team has found that using an animal's own brain cells (autologous transplant) to replace degenerated neurons in select brain areas of donor primates with simulated but asymptomatic Parkinson's disease and previously in a motor cortex lesion model, provides a degree of brain protection and may be useful in repairing brain lesions... view more...
