Can the measurement of transventricular intracardiac impedance reliably differentiate haemodynamically stable from unstable arrhythmias?

Introduction: Implantable defibrillators (ICD's) are currently unable to assess the haemodynamic stability of arrhythmias and can occasionally deliver intracardiac shocks when patients are conscious. We investigated the use of trans-ventricular impedance (across the left ventricle {LV}) as a ha...
