Pulseless Electrical Activity as the Initial Cardiac Arrest Rhythm: Importance of Preexisting Left Ventricular Function

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a common initial rhythm in cardiac arrest. A substantial number of PEA arrests are caused by coronary ischemia in the setting of acute coronary occlusion, but the underlying mechanism is not well ...

Angina and left ventricular dysfunction [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 1996
Angina with left ventricular dysfunction exhibits a wide range of different presentations. Approximately 45% of patients referred for coronary artery bypass surgery have some degree of left ventricular dysfunction and, given that at least a third of those suffering from angina have a history of myocardial infarction, the prevalence of left ventricular ...
