Circulation, 1971 Ventricular fibrillation is the most common mechanism of sudden unexpected cardiac death in persons with asymptomatic or symptomatic coronary artery disease. The electrophysiologic mechanisms reviewed in this article include: automaticity of pacemaker fibers, transformation of nonpacemaker into pacemaker fibers, "injury" currents and reentry.

Ventricular fibrillation induced by fever in structurally normal hearts
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Ventricular 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 ...

Ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2007 Cardiac arrest in children is not often due to a disturbance in rhythm that is amenable to electrical defibrillation, contrary to the situation in adults. When a shockable rhythm is present, defibrillation using an external electric shock applied at an early stage after pre-oxygenation and chest compressions is of proven efficacy. Success at conversion

Empirical Ablation to Prevent Sequential Purkinje System Recruitment
JACC: Case Reports, 2021 We report 3 cases (mean age 48.3 ± 11.6 years) of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF), in which a triggering premature ventricular complex leading to IVF could not be identified.

Atrial fibrillation and preexcitation - A licence to kill
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2020 Atrial fibrillation becomes a potentially lethal arrhythmia in the presence of preexcitation because the rapid ventricular activation can result in ventricular fibrillation.

Frequency Characteristics of Rhythm Non-Assimilation in Canine Ventricular Fibrillation
Общая реаниматология, 2010 Ventricular fibrillation is the main cause of sudden cardiac death in many countries, including Russia; therefore to study ventricular fibrillation is an urgent problem.

JACC: Case Reports, 2020 Atrial fibrillation along with accessory pathway–induced ventricular pre-excitation may be life-threatening due to the high risk of developing severe hypotension, ventricular fibrillation, and sudden death. We demonstrate nifekalant as an effective agent

Case report: electrical storm during induced hypothermia in a patient with early repolarization
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2017 Background 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.

Imaging ventricular fibrillation [PDF]
Journal of Electrocardiology, 2007 Ventricular 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
