Jan 19th, 2021 - Electrical injuries can have myriad presentations, including significant cardiac involvement. Arrhythmias are the most frequently experienced cardiac affliction, of which sinus tachycardia or bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation, atrial or ventri...

Jan 19th, 2021 - The current knowledge of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is limited. We aimed to investigate the nature of IVF, including clinical assessment and later diagnosis, and risk factors of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy i...

Jan 13th, 2021 - Cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) may reduce the incidence of first ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VTA) in patients with heart failure (HF) and left bundle-branch-block (LBBB). To assess the effect of CRT-D on VTA burden in LBB...

Jan 12th, 2021 - Defibrillator testing (DFT) is still used in selected patients to ensure adequate therapy. To do so, ventricular fibrillation is induced and terminated by the implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Studies have shown increases in neuronal dam...

Jan 12th, 2021 - Therapeutic delivery of sodium nitrite during resuscitation improved survival in animal models of cardiac arrest, but efficacy has not been evaluated in clinical trials in humans. To determine whether parenteral administration of sodium nitrite gi...

Jun 14th, 2020 - This Canadian Cardiovascular Society position statement is focused on the management of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) that occurs in patients with structural heart disease (SHD), including previous myocar...

May 9th, 2019 - The consensus statement, accompanied by a systematic review and meta-analysis published in conjunction with this document, serves as a resource guide and comprehensive review of the field for clinicians around the world who are working to improve...

Mar 18th, 2019 - Coronary artery disease is prevalent in different causes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), especially in individuals presenting with shockable rhythms of ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VF/pVT). The purpose of t...

Dec 20th, 2018 - Antiarrhythmic medications are commonly administered during and immediately after a ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia cardiac arrest. However, it is unclear whether these medications improve patient outcomes. This 2018 Ame...

Nov 29th, 2018 - This European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines for Resuscitation 2018 update is focused on the role of antiarrhythmic drugs during advanced life support for cardiac arrest with shock refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular ...

Jan 19th, 2021 - Electrical injuries can have myriad presentations, including significant cardiac involvement. Arrhythmias are the most frequently experienced cardiac affliction, of which sinus tachycardia or bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation, atrial or ventri...

Jan 12th, 2021 - Amiodarone Hydrochloride Injection is indicated for initiation of treatment and prophylaxis of frequently recurring ventricular fibrillation (VF) and hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients refractory to other therapy. Am...

Sep 9th, 2020 - Years ago, during training, I remember a colleague dissing an early model of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) because it was primitive. All it did was shock ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF).   Almost thr...

Apr 8th, 2020 - Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is associated with improved neurological outcomes, compared with standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), even with prolonged resuscitation and progressive metabolic derangement, new researc...

Sep 18th, 2019 - A new case series raises the question of whether electronic gaming may cause ventricular arrhythmias and contribute to syncope in children with certain underlying conditions. The authors report on four instances of syncope resulting from ventricul...

Aug 20th, 2019 - Early ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) commonly occur after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, researchers found, although whether inherently dangerous or merely a marker of disease severity remained unclear. A quarter of the 652 LVA...
