Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation — Just How Much Idiopathic is it? [PDF]
Idiopathic 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 induced by fever in structurally normal hearts
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 ...

Rate Control Management of Atrial Fibrillation: May a Mathematical Model Suggest an Ideal Heart Rate? [PDF]
Background. Despite the routine prescription of rate control therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF), clinical evidence demonstrating a heart rate target is lacking.

Empirical Ablation to Prevent Sequential Purkinje System Recruitment
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.

The year in cardiology: arrhythmias and pacing. [PDF]
During this last year, there has been much progress with regard to anticoagulant and ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF). Apart from recently issued European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the management of patients with supraventricular ...

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

Imaging ventricular fibrillation [PDF]
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

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

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