Myocardial Discontinuities A Substrate for Producing Virtual Electrodes That Directly Excite the Myocardium by Shocks
TL;DR: Whether an artificial discontinuity gives rise to an activation front in response to an electrical stimulus is determined, consistent with the creation of such polarized regions adjacent to the discontinuity.

Predicting the Relative Efficacy of Shock Waveforms for Transthoracic Defibrillation in Dogs
TL;DR: The resistor-capacitor model successfully predicted the relative defibrillation efficacy of several different waveforms delivered transthoracically.

Relative utility of magnetic resonance imaging and right ventricular angiography to diagnose arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
TL;DR: RVA is more sensitive and specific to diagnose ARVC diagnosis than MRI, at least until MRI protocols are better developed, and MRI results are most robust when indicators of ARVC are grossly apparent.

Pacing after shocks stronger than the upper limit of vulnerability: impact on fibrillation induction.
TL;DR: At least 3 cycles with short CIs are necessary for VF induction after aULV shocks, and Cycles S3-S4 may create the substrate for cycle S5 to initiate VF.

TL;DR: This study investigated a hybrid approach to reduce the atrial defibrillation threshold by determining the effect of a single linear radiofrequency ablation (RFA) lesion on both the ADFT and activation patterns during atrial fibrillation (AF).
