Cardiac pacing and defibrillation studies

This study evaluates RF heating of bipolar epicardial leads during MRI at 0.55 T and 1.5 T, showing field strength and termination conditions affect heating patterns and safety.

This study compares left bundle branch area pacing and right ventricular apical pacing in dogs, finding LBBA pacing better preserves myocardial strain and synchrony.

This study evaluates how helix design and axial force affect insertion success and muscle torque in porcine septum pacing leads.

This paper develops a wireless pacing system to induce persistent atrial fibrillation in swine, demonstrating its ability to adjust pacing frequencies remotely and safely.

This study compares the efficacy of antitachycardia pacing delivered to the left bundle branch area versus the right ventricle in a preclinical model of ischemic ventricular tachycardia, finding higher success rates with LBBA pacing.

This study uses patient-specific models to show that CRT improves myocardial work efficiency and reverse remodeling in DHF by reducing negative work in early-activated regions.
