Further Application of Electric Countershock in Ventricular Tachycardia
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1962 THE 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.

Use of External Electric Countershock in the Treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia
JAMA, 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

Ventricular fibrillation successfully treated by external electric countershock
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1962 Abstract 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.

[Use of the esophageal electric countershock].
Kardiologiia, 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.

Ventricular Tachycardia Treated with External Electric Countershock
JAMA, 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
The 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
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.
