Let’s start with the fact that this is not a yes or no answer. To answer this question, you need to understand three key factors: What is your baseline risk? Over what time horizon are you looking to reduce risk? What is your attitude toward reducing that risk? Only when you have a clear idea of those three factors can you decide whether or not to take a medication to lower your LDL cholesterol.

Researchers used an electrophysiological computer model of the heart's electrical circuits to examine the effect of the applied voltage field in multiple fibrillation-defibrillation scenarios. They discovered far less energy is needed than is currently used in state-of-the-art defibrillation techniques. The authors applied an adjoint optimization method and discovered adjusting the duration and the smooth variation in time of the voltage supplied by defibrillation devices is a more efficient mec
