Inverse Relation between Condition of Heart Failure and Intrathoracic Impedance Measured by Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator—A case report—

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2005
The patient was a 78-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy. His cardio-thoracic ratio was 60.4% and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 33%. He had been repeatedly admitted for congestive heart failure.

Autoresuscitation: A Case and Discussion of the Lazarus Phenomenon

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Lazarus phenomenon or autoresuscitation is a very rare condition defined as delayed unassisted return of spontaneous circulation after cessation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Based on a case with a 67‐year‐old male who came back to life after discontinuation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, we discuss the background and possible countermeasures ...

Outcome of Prolonged Ventricular Fibrillation and CPR in a Rat Model of Chronic Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Patients with chronic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction are assumed to have a lower chance of successful CPR and lower likelihood of ultimate survival. However, these assumptions have rarely been documented. Therefore, we investigated the outcome of prolonged ventricular fibrillation (VF) and CPR in a rat model of chronic LV dysfunction.

Slow Codes are symptomatic of ethically and legally inappropriate CPR policies

Bioethics, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 327-336, May 2025.
Abstract Although cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initially used very selectively at the discretion of clinicians, the use of CPR rapidly expanded to the point that it was required to be performed on all patients having in‐hospital cardiac arrests, regardless of the underlying condition.

Is there any Link Between Vitamin D and Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation after Cardioversion? [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic arrhythmia in the elderly population. In symptomatic patients, restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm improve quality of life.

Arrhythmias Related to Cardioversion

, 1964
DC countershock abolished 92 of 101 episodes of atrial fibrillation in 86 patients, an incidence of 91 per cent. Supraventricular arrhythmias were not infrequent immediately after countershock.

Intra‐arrest blood‐based biomarkers for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest: A scoping review

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open, Volume 5, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Objective Blood‐based biomarkers play a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients, yet none are routinely measured during the intra‐arrest phase of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Our objective was to describe methodological aspects, sources of evidence, and gaps in research surrounding intra‐arrest blood ...
