Individual case reports 4,5 have documented the onset of ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia, or both, at the moment of inscription of the pacemaker impulse. To avoid the vulnerable period of ...

Ventricular fibrillation is often a fatal arrhythmia. It occurs when the ventricular rate exceeds 400. In this setting, virtually no forward cardiac output occurs. Advanced Cardiac Life Support ...

VPDs with very short coupling intervals developing during an acute stage of myocardial infarction would predict the development of early cycled reentry, potentially culminating in VF, and requires ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic heart failure ... options for prevention of AF in patients with ventricular dysfunction. In conclusion, AF is associated with increased mortality in CHF ...

This paradoxical increase in ventricular heart rates may lead to ventricular fibrillation (ventricular rates of 400 to 600 bpm) and death. Procainamide or urgent electrical cardioversion is ...

AtaCor Medical, Inc., a privately-held medical device company focused on transforming cardiac rhythm management, announced ...

However, they are contraindicated in patients with prior myocardial infarction (MI) and reduced left ventricular function ... the AHA/ACC/HRS Atrial Fibrillation practice guideline provides ...

Data show people with pulmonary arterial hypertension tend to stay in the hospital longer and have higher medical bills.

Such techniques can be automatically applied using implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and offer the potential for painless termination of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Reduction in ...

that originates from one of the ventricles in the heart. The condition can lead to ventricular fibrillation and, therefore, sudden cardiac death.

Using a temperature-controlled ablation system for ventricular tachycardia is safe and effective, says new study.

Inter-atrial shunt device therapy has shown mixed results in clinical trials, with clinical 'non-responders' typically showing features of more advanced heart failure. We aimed to analyse the ...
