Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2022 A healthy 34-year-old woman sustained refractory idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) secondary to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Ischemic, structural, and genetic evaluations did not identify an attributable pathology. Here, we review the epidemiology, prognosis, and management of PVC-induced IVF. We additionally highlight the utility

Cardiac troponins in intensive care [PDF]
, 2005 The cardiac troponins are integral components of the myofibrillary apparatus and they regulate muscle contraction. The measurement of cardiac troponins has replaced other biomarkers for the specific detection of myocardial necrosis and for the diagnosis ...
