Ventricular Tachycardia Treated with External Electric Countershock

open access: closedJAMA, 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 ...

Refractory ventricular tachycardia terminated by electric countershock

open access: closedThe American Journal of Cardiology, 1963
Abstract 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

open access: closedAmerican 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.

Termination of Ventricular Fibrillation in Man by Externally Applied Electric Countershock

open access: closedNew 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 the esophageal electric countershock].

open access: closedKardiologiia, 1978
Transesophageal 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.

In appropriate electrical countershocks by an automated external defibrillator

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1992
A 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.
