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.

Further Application of Electric Countershock in Ventricular Tachycardia
JAMA - Journal of the American Medical Association, 1962THE EFFICACY of external electric countershock in the termination of ventricular tachycardia has been confirmed. These reports are concerned with medical patients in whom the arrhythmia varied in duration from 9 hours to 22 days, and circulatory collapse, congestive failure, and resistance to drug therapy called for more immediately effective measures.

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.

Termination of Ventricular Fibrillation in Man by Externally Applied Electric Countershock
New England Journal of Medicine, 1956VENTRICULAR 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, 1961ELECTRIC 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

American Journal of Cardiology, 1963
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 ...

In appropriate electrical countershocks by an automated external defibrillator
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1992A 79-year-old man who was in normal sinus rhythm with a palpable pulse was inappropriately shocked twice by a fully automated external defibrillator. The second shock resulted in ventricular tachycardia. The device then countershocked a third time, restoring normal sinus rhythm.

Ventricular Tachycardia Treated with External Electric Countershock
JAMA, 1963ABSTRACT 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 ...
