VENTRICULAR fibrillation, usually a rapidly fatal arrhythmia, occurs most commonly in coronary-artery disease, in patients with atrioventricular block (that is, Stokes-Adams disease) and in toxic ...

It's crucial not only to seek urgent medical attention during a VF episode but also to consider psychological support for stress, anxiety, or trauma resulting from the experience.

Ventricular fibrillation is often a fatal arrhythmia. It occurs when the ventricular rate exceeds 400. In this setting, virtually no forward cardiac output occurs. Advanced Cardiac Life Support ...

Ventricular fibrillation is an emergency condition where the heart rate is uncontrolled and extremely high. Therefore, this work is based on the construction of an algorithm capable of detecting ...

The case history is presented of a young man who was shot in the chest by a Taser and presented to the emergency department in ventricular fibrillation. A 17-year-old man was intoxicated and became ...

The ventricular response in atrial fibrillation is determined by the long refractory period of the AV junction. Since an atrial impulse is always available for transmission to the ventricles, a ...

No ventricular arrhythmia induction was observed after atrial antitachycardia pacing or shock delivery. Early cardioversion of atrial fibrillation may prevent atrial remodelling and may maintain sinus ...

The effects of induced ventricular fibrillation on ventricular performance and cardiac metabolism were studied in dogs. When ventricular fibrillation was induced by a brief 7.5-v a-c stimulus and ...

In the absence of any evidence for an ideal apical paddle position in the standard anterolateral defibrillation of ventricular arrhythmias, the emphasis in ALS and resuscitation guidelines on “correct ...

Rapid antegrade conduction to the ventricles over the AP during AF can increase the likelihood of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and sudden cardiac death (SCD), which is the most feared complication of ...

A serious heart rhythm problem in which the heart beats faster and out of rhythm. The exact cause is not always known, but it is most common in people who have had an injury or scarring in the ...
