Pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an atypical heart rhythm that can cause chest pain, fainting, and cardiac arrest. Doctors treat it with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillators, and ...

A smart-technology wearable wristband device may be able to automatically detect cardiac arrest, which could lead to faster medical assistance and increased survival odds when cardiac arrest occurs ...

A machine learning algorithm running on a smartwatch demonstrated the ability to detect sudden loss of pulse with high specificity (99.99%) and moderate sensitivity (67.23%), according to a study led ...

Pulseless ventricular tachycardia occurs when an abnormally rapid heart rate originating in the heart’s lower chambers makes a pulse undetectable. Emergency cardiac defibrillation is usually necessary ...

Ventricular fibrillation (VFib or VF) and ventricular tachycardia (v-tach or VT) are two types of heart arrhythmia that occur in the heart’s lower chambers called the ventricles. The ventricles ...
