The influence of the phase of ventilation on the transthoracic impedance and defibrillation success was studied in 6 mongrel dogs. Ventricular fibrillation was induced by a transvenous bipolar catheter electrode. Defibrillation was attempted after 1 min of ventricular fibrillation. The initial stored energy levels were 20 watt-sec for the 1st two shocks, one delivered in inspiration and one in expiration. If the shock at the initial energy level was not successful, the energy level was increased by 10 watt-sec before the next energy level shock. Initial discharge was given at inspiration in half of the animals and at expiration in the other half. The transthoracic impedance to defibrillator discharge was measured with each shock. The study revealed a significantly higher transthoracic impedance with inspiration (76.3 +/- 13 ohms versus 68.4 +/- 12 ohms expiration, p less than 0.01), and a significant decrease in defibrillation success rate when shocks were delivered in inspiration (10%) compared to expiration (50%). The phase of ventilation is an important determinant of transthoracic impedance to defibrillator discharge and has a significant influence on defibrillation effectiveness.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disease associated with cardiovascular dysfunction. The myocardium preferentially uses ketones over free fatty acids as a more energy efficient substrate. The primary aim was to assess the effects of ketone monoester (K) ingestion on cardiac output index ().

Background: Although the presence of both obesity and reduced muscle mass presents a dual metabolic burden and additively has a negative effect on a variety of cardiometabolic parameters, data regarding the associations between their combined effects and left ventricular diastolic function are limited. This study investigated the association between the ratio of skeletal muscle mass to visceral fat area (SVR) and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with preserved ejection fraction using random forest machine learning.
Methods: In total, 1,070 participants with preserved left ventricular ejection fractions who underwent comprehensive health examinations, including transthoracic echocardiography and bioimpedance body composition analysis, were enrolled.

Objective: Accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement is crucial for the diagnosis, risk assessment, treatment decision-making, and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases. Unfortunately, cuff-based BP measurements suffer from inaccuracies and discomfort. This study is the first to access the feasibility of machine learning-based BP estimation using impedance cardiography (ICG) data.

Increased blood pressure upon standing is considered a cardiovascular risk factor. We investigated the reproducibility of changes in aortic blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance during three passive head-up tilts (HUT) in 223 participants without cardiovascular medications (mean age 46 years, BMI 28 kg/m2, 54% male). Median time gap between the first and the second HUT was 9 weeks and the second and the third HUT 4 weeks.

Cardiac implantable electronic devices and their integrated thoracic impedance sensors have been used to detect sleep apnea for over a decade now. Despite their usage in daily clinical practice, there are only limited data on their diagnostic accuracy. AIRLESS and UPGRADE were prospective investigator-driven trials meant to validate the AP scan (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) in heart failure cohorts.
