Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are disastrous outcomes of various predominant cardiac diseases. The leading cause of SCA and SCD is coronary artery disease. However, SCA/SCD in young patients is mainly caused by congenital disorders of primary arrhythmic or structural origin. SCD is defined as death from an unexpected circulatory arrest, usually because of a cardiac ...
متن کامل[Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation].
Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation is defined as cardiac arrest in the absence of structural heart disease and other identifiable causes of ventricular fibrillation. It occurs in 1% to 9% of survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The mean age of these patients is 35 to 40 years, and 70% to 75% are male. The pathogenesis is unknown; psychosocial factors may play a role. Baseline clinical ...
متن کاملAnodal stimulation as a cause of pacemaker-induced ventricular fibrillation.
T he possibility of pacemaker-induced ventricular arrhythmias has been recognized since the beginning of widespread use of artificial pacemakers,*-I6 but the extent of the clinical risk of such arrhythmias has been questionable.17-2* The possibility of a dangerous arrhythmia being precipitated by a pacemaker stimulus falling during the vulnerable period of a preceding ventricular beat exists mo...
متن کاملMapping and ablation of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Ventricular fibrillation is the main mechanism of sudden cardiac death. The feasibility of eliminating recurrent episodes by catheter ablation has not been reported. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-seven patients without known heart disease (13 men, 14 women, 41+/-14 years of age) were studied after being resuscitated from recurrent (10+/-12) episodes of primary idiopathic ventricular f...
متن کاملIncrease of ventricular interval during atrial fibrillation by atrioventricular node vagal stimulation: chronic clinical atrioventricular-nodal stimulation download study.
BACKGROUND Patients with a high ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation (AF) are at increased risk of receiving inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks. The objective was to demonstrate the feasibility of high frequency atrioventricular-nodal stimulation (AVNS) to reduce the ventricular rate during AF to prevent inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks...
