Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation — Just How Much Idiopathic is it? [PDF]
Reviews in Cardiovascular MedicineIdiopathic ventricular fibrillation is diagnosed in survivors of sudden cardiac death that has been caused by ventricular fibrillation without known structural or electrical abnormalities, even after extensive investigation.

Ventricular Fibrillation Is a Sign of Life. [PDF]
Braz J Cardiovasc Surg, 2023Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a deadly rhythm problem. With asystole, it represents one of the most extreme emergencies that may engage vital prognosis within only few minutes if appropriated treatment is not instituted. It is learned in all medical schools worldwide that VF is not compatible with consciousness and sustained life. Moreover, at 37°C,

Ventricular fibrillation induced by fever in structurally normal hearts
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a life-threatening arrhythmia that usually happens in patients with structural heart diseases. However, fever-induced ventricular fibrillation in structurally normal hearts was reported, and the four main diseases ...

Identifying Ventricular Arrhythmias and Their Predictors by Applying Machine Learning Methods to Electronic Health Records in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy(HCM-VAr-Risk Model) [PDF]
The American Journal of Cardiology, Volume 123, Issue 10, 15 May 2019, Pages 1681-1689, 2021Clinical risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) employs rules derived from American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association (ACCF/AHA) guidelines or the HCM Risk-SCD model (C-index of 0.69), which utilize a few clinical variables.

Case report: electrical storm during induced hypothermia in a patient with early repolarization
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2017Background Population based studies showed an association of early repolarization in the electrocardiogram (ECG) and a higher rate of sudden cardiac death presumably due to ventricular fibrillation.

Improved Cardiac Arrhythmia Prediction Based on Heart Rate Variability Analysis [PDF]
, 2022Many types of ventricular and atrial cardiac arrhythmias have been discovered in clinical practice in the past 100 years, and these arrhythmias are a major contributor to sudden cardiac death. Ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are the most commonly-occurring and dangerous arrhythmias, therefore early ...

Imaging ventricular fibrillation [PDF]
Journal of Electrocardiology, 2007Ventricular fibrillation (VF) had been traditionally considered as a highly disorganized process of random electrical activity emanating from multiple, short-lived, reentrant electrical waves. It is the incessant breakup of wave fronts and the creation of new daughter waves (wavebreaks) that perpetuate VF. Other studies described VF as a process with a

Long QT syndrome provoked by induction of general anesthesia -A case report- [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2010Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an arrhythmogenic cardiovascular disorder resulting from mutations in cardiac ion channels. LQTS is characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization and frequently manifests itself as QT interval prolongation on the ...
