Recurrent Ventricular Fibrillation Associated With Graves' Disease: A Case Report [PDF]
Case Reports in CardiologyAlthough tachyarrhythmias are associated with thyrotoxicosis, the association with ventricular fibrillation is unknown. This case reports a recurrent ventricular fibrillation with Graves' disease that was successfully treated with an implantable ...

Altered excitation-contraction coupling in human chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2012 This review focuses on the (mal)adaptive processes in atrial excitation-contraction coupling occurring in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cellular remodeling includes shortening of the atrial action potential duration and effective refractory ...

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.

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

The self-maintaining nature of ventricular fibrillation : contribution of L-type Ca²+ channels and Na+/Ca²+ exchange to cardiomyocyte Ca²+ overload in ventricular fibrillation : surface fluorescence study in isolated perfused rat hearts [PDF]
, 2004 Approximately 40% of all deaths in Switzerland are due to cardiovascular diseases.1 An important part of these deaths happen because of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.

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
