How Defibrillator Voltage Works in Resuscitation Efforts

The electrical shock to the heart provided by an automated external defibrillator (originally measured in volts) shuts down the disordered electrical impulses that lead to cardiac arrest so that a normal heart rhythm can restart—preventing sudden cardiac death. There are several levels of electrical energy that can be used to achieve this, depending on the …

Differences Between a Defibrillator vs Pacemaker

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and pacemakers are two devices that are sometimes implanted into a person’s upper chest to help them maintain (or restore) a normal heart rhythm. The main difference between a pacemaker vs defibrillator is that a pacemaker helps to maintain a steady heart rhythm while an implantable cardioverter defibrillator sends either a …
