Ventricular Tachycardia Treated with External Electric Countershock
JAMA - Journal of the American Medical Association, 1963 ABSTRACT VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA is usually adequately controlled by various medications—procainamide hydrochloride and quinidine being the most effective. Recently external electric countershock has been recommended for patients failing to respond to drugs.1 This is a report of a man with a recent myocardial infarction who developed refractory ...

Termination of Ventricular Fibrillation in Man by Externally Applied Electric Countershock
New England Journal of Medicine, 1956 VENTRICULAR fibrillation is usually a rapidly fatal arrhythmia that may occur in cardiac patients, in any patient under anesthesia and in drowning and electrocution. In cardiac patients it is a frequent cause of sudden death in the course of coronary-artery disease, a well recognized mechanism of Stokes–Adams attacks, an uncommon toxic reaction to ...

Use of External Electric Countershock in the Treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia
JAMA - Journal of the American Medical Association, 1961 ELECTRIC countershock applied to the closed chest has been successfully used to terminate ventricular fibrillation and prefibrillatory ventricular tachycardia. 1-3 Generally, this technique has been employed as an emergency measure in the unconscious patient with Adams-Stokes disease in the absence of other therapeutic alternatives. No reports exist on

Refractory ventricular tachycardia terminated by electric countershock
American Journal of Cardiology, 1963Abstract A case of persistent ventricular tachycardia terminated by alternating current countershock is presented. The importance of electric countershock as a means of controlling refractory ventricular tachycardia in dire situations is discussed.

Response of cultured myocardial cells to countershock-type electric field stimulation
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1978 Myocardial cells isolated from 8-day chick embryos were grown in monolayer culture under conditions that produce “standard embryonic” and “adult-type” cells. These cells were subjected to electric field stimulation that had a waveshape and intensities similar to those used in clinical electric countershock procedures.

Ventricular fibrillation successfully treated by external electric countershock
American Journal of Cardiology, 1962Abstract A 73 year old man with ventricular fibrillation was successfully treated with external electric countershock. The feasibility of effective external cardiac massage followed by defibrillation through the external application of electric countershock is illustrated.

Abstract External electric countershock has been recently employed and recommended for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia and other serious arrhythmias, when drug therapy is ineffective and the patient's condition desperate or intolerable. Two cases of ventricular tachycardia are reported in which the use of external countershock was regarded ...

Impedance to Defibrillation Countershock: Does an Optimal Impedance Exist?
PACE - Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1995 Defibrillation is thought to occur because of changes in the transmembrane potential that are caused by current flow through the heart tissue. Impedance to electric countershock is an important parameter because it is determined by She magnitude and ...
