Percussion Pacing as a Rescue for Peri-Stimulus Asystole During Electroconvulsive Therapy
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can provoke a brief parasympathetic surge, commonly causing transient sinus bradycardia or a short sinus pause. Most events last only seconds and resolve without intervention. Rarely, however, bradyarrhyth...

Anti-inflammatory Effect of Electroconvulsive Therapy and Association Between Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Increases and Nonrelapse
Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is effective for severe psychiatric disorders, but relapse after a successful acute course of ECT remains common. Identification of biological predictors of relapse is therefore clinically impo...
