Ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2009
Ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation are the most important causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly in those with structural heart disease and reduced left ventricular function. It is important to distinguish ventricular tachycardia from supraventricular tachycardia.

Ventricular-Arterial and Ventricular-Ventricular Interactions and Their Relevance to Diastolic Filling

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2007
Chronic heart failure is a common clinical problem, and, until recently, attention has focused predominantly on those patients with reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic function, as evidenced by a reduced LV ejection fraction. However, nearly half of all patients thought clinically to have heart failure have a "preserved" LV ejection fraction ...

Ventricular fibrillation masquerading as ventricular standstill

Critical Care Medicine, 1981
After the induction of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in 29 animals, ECGs were serially recorded to determine whether a very low amplitude or a straight line ECG could occur in some leads while coarse fibrillatory waves were present in the other leads. Ventricular fibrillation was electrically induced via a transvenous catheter electrode advanced into ...

Ventricular pacing in atypical ventricular tachycardia

Journal of Electrocardiology, 1981
Ventricular pacing was effective in controlling recurrent bouts of atypical ventricular tachycardia (Torsade de Pointes), in four patients. This arrhythmia was induced by quinidine or disopyramide therapy. Isoproterenol, which is the usually recommended therapy, was ineffective in two of the patients and was considered hazardous in two others.

Ventricular tachyarrhythmias: Ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation

2018
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are abnormal patterns of electrical activity arising from the ventricular tissue (myocardium and conduction tissue). Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an abnormal rapid heart rhythm originating from the ventricles. The rhythm may arise from the ventricular myocardium and/or from the distal conduction system.

Ventricular Tachycardia with Congenital Ventricular Diverticulum

Chest, 1991
A 24-year-old man presented with symptomatic, recurrent, sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). He was found to have a basal inferior left ventricular diverticulum. His sustained VT was reproduced by programmed electrical stimulation and was unresponsive to procainamide, tocainide, propafenone, and flecainide. Endocardial mapping followed by resection
