With the grant funds provided from a Phase I STTR grant to Coram Technologies, Dr. Toft developed a novel method for teaching CPR in high schools, called “HEART CLASS” (www.Heart-Class.com). This interactive film has become the cornerstone for her current work to create more engaging and effective methods to teach CPR to the public, and …
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) affect millions of patients in the United States. These arrhythmias can be cured with catheter ablation, but arrhythmias often recur, and these recurrences are generally due to reversible conduction block from incomplete ablation. The inability to confirm the presence of completely ablated lesions in the desired locations is …

When high defibrillation voltages are applied, the ensuing muscle-contractions can create large accelerations, as evidenced by the sight of patients “jumping” on the table (or being levitated), which requires that the accelerations induced are larger than the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s2). Basing that observation, a group of researchers, including Dr. Halperin, developed a defibrillation …

This technology was developed by Dr. Halperin’s team and licensed to Zoll Medical. The following is reproduced from material from Zoll. See-Thru CPR® technology filters out compression artifact on the ECG monitor so that rescuers can see the underlying heart rhythm during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), thereby reducing the duration of pauses in compressions. A key recommendation of …

This technology was developed by Dr. Halperin’s team and licensed to Zoll Medical. The following is reproduced from material from Zoll. The evidence is indisputable: High-quality CPR is the primary component in influencing survival from cardiac arrest. Not every patient will need a defibrillating shock, but every patient will need CPR. Even for seasoned health care …
