A comparison of left ventricular endocardial, multisite, and multipolar epicardial cardiac resynchronization: an acute haemodynamic and electroanatomical study.

Biventricular endocardial pacing and not MSP was superior to conventional CRT, but was highly site specific, and within individuals, the best pacing modality varied and was affected by the underlying substrate.

Spinal cord stimulation protects against atrial fibrillation induced by tachypacing.

SCS prolonged atrial effective refractory periods and reduced AF burden and inducibility in a canine AF model induced by tachypacing, suggesting that SCS may represent a treatment option for AF.

Attenuation of left ventricular adverse remodeling with epicardial patching after myocardial infarction.

Regional application of a simple, passive synthetic epicardial patch increased LV wall thickness at the infarct region, attenuated LV dilation, and improved LVEF and +dP/dt in a large animal model of MI.

Spinal cord stimulation is safe and feasible in patients with advanced heart failure: early clinical experience

This data indicates that upper thoracic spinal cord stimulation may have therapeutic effects in the treatment of heart failure, but the safety and feasibility of SCS in HF patients is still unclear.

Computational modeling analysis of a spinal cord stimulation paddle lead reveals broad, gapless dermatomal coverage

This work demonstrates that the flexibility in contact selection offered by the PENTA lead may enable patient-specific tailoring of SCS, and could achieve gapless medio-lateral coverage in dermatomal fiber tract zones.

Characterizing left ventricular mechanical and electrical activation in patients with normal and impaired systolic function using a non-fluoroscopic cardiovascular navigation system

This intra-operative technique can be used to characterize LV wall motion and strain in patients with impaired systolic function and may be utilized clinically to provide individually tailored LV lead positioning at the region of latest mechanical activation for patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy.

The freedom to heal: nonrigid immobilization by a halo orthosis.

The authors showed for the first time that after a few cycles of loading analogous to a few steps taken by a patient, the support presented by a standard commercial halo orthosis becomes nonlinear, and revealed that the nonlinearity permits mild head motion while severely restricting larger motion.
