Defibrillation testing during implantation of cardioverter–defibrillators is controversial because of potential safety concerns and a lack of evidence for the effectiveness of the procedure. New data ...

Objective: This study was designed to test defibrillation threshold (DFT) with the least number of fibrillation inductions using upper limit of vulnerability (ULV) and to describe the most practical ...

London, ON - Defibrillation-threshold (DFT) testing performed on a routine basis at ICD implantation is unlikely to significantly affect one- or five-year mortality, according to a statistical ...

A small-diameter, defibrillation lead that can be delivered through existing commercially available catheters for targeted placement is durable and safe, with no incidence of fractures at 1 year, the ...

Runners throw around the term “tempo run” like confetti. It’s confusing, even for well seasoned athletes, because it’s not a cut-and-dried definition like a lactate threshold workout. Frequently, ...

One of the best measures of running fitness is lactate threshold (LT), which is the running speed or heart rate at which lactate — an intermediate product of aerobic metabolism in the muscles — begins ...
