Performing electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) during catheter ablation for A-fib to boost rhythm control carries a risk of stroke that seems to be mitigated either by continued ...

New data underscore that electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a man-made risk factor for stroke. They also suggest that ...

The use of ac-line-powered medical diagnostic, measurement, and treatment equipment potentially exposes patients and even caregivers to the risk of electrical shock, burns, internal-organ damage, and ...

Maintaining isolation between high- and low-voltage EV systems is vital for safety and proper equipment operation. Attention must be paid to many systems and devices to ensure isolation is built in ...

If you’re designing circuits and equipment that require electrical/electronic isolation, it may be time to consider electronic isolation via capacitance. Of the methods available, capacitive isolation ...

To ensure compliance under 1910.147, hazardous energy sources, such as electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, chemical and thermal energy, need to be properly isolated to a zero-energy state through a ...
