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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The worldwide proliferation of electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs and HEVs), which must withstand higher operating voltages and currents than gasoline-powered vehicles, has underscored the ...

Signal and power isolation using a DC-DC converter implementation. The importance of isolation in medical equipment. A self-driven synchronous-rectifier circuit to isolate high voltage. One of the ...
