Journal ArticleDOI
Inappropriate shocks in patients with Fidelis® lead fractures: impact of remote monitoring and the lead integrity algorithm.
Zalmen Blanck,Kathi Axtell,Kathy Brodhagen,Laura O'hearn,Tammy Albelo,Cheryl Ceretto,Anwer Dhala,Jasbir Sra,Masood Akhtar +8 more
TL;DR: This study confirms that LIA significantly decreases IS therapy in patients with Fidelis lead fractures, and wireless technology enhances LIA benefits by significantly shortening time to reprogram defibrillators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of iatrogenic electrocardiographic patterns during electrophysiologic studies.
Masood Akhtar,A N Danato,C J Gilbert-Leeds,William P. Batsford,C P Reddy,Joseph A.C. Gomes,A H Calon,M S Dhatt +7 more
TL;DR: Catheter-induced ECG patterns were analyzed in 447 consecutive patients undergoing electrophysiologic studies and found latrogenic nature of these patterns was suggested, which must be identified in order to avoid errors in interpretation.
Journal Article
Biomechanical pulping of kenaf
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of fungal pretreatment of whole kenaf fiber prior to refining on refiner electrical energy consumption, paper strength, and optical properties was investigated for making newsprint in terms of ISO brightness and strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of cryosurgery alone for refractory monomorphic sustained ventricular tachycardia due to inferior wall infarction
TL;DR: Results compare quite favorably with those previously reported for subendocardial resection alone, and indicate that cryosurgery is highly effective, does not result in deterioration of left ventricular function and preserves mitral valve competence when cryoablation of the posterior papillary muscle is necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catheter location, tracking, cardiac chamber geometry creation, and ablation using cutaneous patches.
David Krum,Anil Goel,John A. Hauck,Jeff Schweitzer,John Hare,Mehran Attari,Anwer Dhala,Ryan Cooley,Masood Akhtar,Jasbir Sra +9 more
TL;DR: The ability to construct a three-dimensional (3-D) surface model of the endocardium and track the location of catheters within a cardiac chamber, using only cutaneous patches, would be a useful advancement in treating arrhythmias.
