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 ...

Ventricular fibrillation successfully treated by external electric countershock
The 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.

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.

Effects of electrical countershock on serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) isoenzyme activity
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1976Total and MB serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity levels were measured serially in 30 patients treated with direct current electrical countershock, 17 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 25 normal subjects. In addition, serial determinations of total and MB CPK in serum were performed in 11 closed chest anesthetized dogs subjected to ...

[Use of the esophageal electric countershock].
Kardiologiia, 1978Transesophageal cardioversion was applied in 277 patients 296 times for arrest of cardiac arrhythmia. Paroxysmal fibrillation and flutter of the atria, and paroxysmal tachycardia were arrested in all cases, chronic atrial fibrillation in 92.4% and chronic irregular atrial flutter in 94.1% of cases.

Response of cultured myocardial cells to countershock-type electric field stimulation
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1978Myocardial 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.

The Remarkable Dr. Abildgaard and Countershock
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1975In 1775 Peter Christian Abildgaard, a Danish veterinarian and physician, conducted experiments on electrical countershock on animals. He succeeded in first rendering fowl lifeless by an electric shock and then reviving them by a countershock applied to the chest.

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1985
Standard drug therapy for asystole during cardiac arrest includes epinephrine, atropine, and calcium chloride (CaCl). Recent studies have shown that ventricular fibrillation (VF) can appear to be asystole when recorded from the chest surface. To determine the efficacy of these drugs and electrical countershock for asystole, a group of 83 adult ...

The 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 ...

TREATMENT OF CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS WITH SYNCHRONIZED ELECTRICAL COUNTERSHOCK.
Canadian Medical Association journal, 1996Synchronized electrical countershock is an intriguing new method for the treatment of ectopic tachycardias. The authors applied this treatment to 20 patients with chronic atrial fibrillation and, in 17 patients, sinus rhythm was restored immediately. An additional four patients with atrial flutter were successfully converted to sinus rhythm.
