Atrial Fibrillation Degenerates Into Ventricular Fibrillation

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010
![Figure][1] A 43-year-old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placed for documented ventricular fibrillation (VF), presented with an ICD shock. Ventricular pre-excitation was not present.

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Treatment With Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors and Long‐Term Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography and Cardiac Catheterization

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The effects of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors on the incidence of long‐term outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease are not well understood. Objective: We studied the association between PDE5 inhibitor therapy and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients ...

Left atrial appendage thrombosis in a patient with Friedreich Ataxia–related cardiomyopathy, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and atrial fibrillation

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2021
Friedreich ataxia is the most common form of hereditary ataxia. Heart involvement in Friedreich ataxia is common and can include increased left ventricular wall thickness, atrial fibrillation, and in the later stages, a reduction of left ventricular ...

Spontaneous termination of ventricular fibrillation [PDF]

Heart, 2004
A 65 year old woman with hypertension and permanent atrial fibrillation had suffered two brief syncopal episodes. She was on losartan, digoxin, and aspirin. The ECG showed atrial fibrillation and incomplete left bundle branch block; the QT interval was 0.36 s and the QTc 0.414 s. The echocardiogram revealed mild dilatation and dysfunction of …

Propensity Matched Analysis of 14 French Suture‐ Versus Plug‐Based Vascular Closure During Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Plug‐based vascular closure devices (Pb‐VCD) and suture‐based vascular closure devices (Sb‐VCD) are used for percutaneous vascular access site closure during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Until now, no clear superiority of either device was shown in studies comparing 18 F VCDs solely.

VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION IN MAN WITH CARDIAC RECOVERY

, 1917
The interest in ventricular fibrillation as a disturbance of the cardiac activity of man has been centered about the role this phenomenon may play in causing sudden death. It has been generally accepted that when the human ventricles pass into a state of

Using Shockwave Lithotripsy to Treat Severe Calcified Mitral Stenosis in a Pregnant Woman

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) with significant calcification presents challenges for both surgical and transcatheter interventions. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) is often limited in these cases due to valve rigidity, increasing the risk of mitral regurgitation (MR).
