Factors associated with pulseless electric activity versus ventricular fibrillation: the Oregon sudden unexpected death study.
BACKGROUND Corresponding with a continuing decline in the prevalence of sudden cardiac arrest cases presenting with ventricular fibrillation (VF), there has been a significant rise in the prevalence of pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Given significantly lower survival from PEA versus VF, we comprehensively investigated PEA correlates by incorporating first-responder data with lifetime clin...

Background—Corresponding with a continuing decline in the prevalence of sudden cardiac arrest cases presenting with ventricular fibrillation (VF), there has been a significant rise in the prevalence of pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Given significantly lower survival from PEA versus VF, we comprehensively investigated PEA correlates by incorporating first-responder data with lifetime clin...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in the GNAS Gene as Predictors of Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death: Results From the DISCOVERY Trial and Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study
BACKGROUND Population-based studies suggest that genetic factors contribute to sudden cardiac death (SCD). METHODS AND RESULTS In the first part of the present study (Diagnostic Data Influence on Disease Management and Relation of Genetic Polymorphisms to Ventricular Tachy-arrhythmia in ICD Patients [DISCOVERY] trial) Cox regression was done to determine if 7 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (...
متن کاملPopulation-based analysis of sudden cardiac death with and without left ventricular systolic dysfunction: two-year findings from the Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study.
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the contribution of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction toward occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the general population, and to identify distinguishing characteristics of SCD in the absence of LV dysfunction. BACKGROUND Patients who manifest warning symptoms and signs are more likely to undergo evaluation before SCD. Although prevalence of LV dysfuncti...
متن کاملThe duration of ventricular fibrillation required to produce pulseless electrical activity.
The duration of untreated (no cardiopulmonary resuscitation) ventricular fibrillation (VF) needed to produce postdefibrillation pulseless electrical activity (PEA) was determined in 9 anesthetized swine ranging in weight from 20 to 30 kg. VF was induced electrically by a right ventricular catheter electrode, while arterial pressure and the electrocardiogram were recorded. VF was confirmed by th...
