DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(18)32728-1
Abstract: Vasospastic angina in pregnancy is an extremely rare event, with incidence less than 1 in 100,000. That causing unstable arrhythmia is even rarer, and when from multiple foci can be very difficult to treat. A… read more here.

DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2019.12.015
Abstract: Refractory ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) carry high mortality rates despite electrical and pharmacologic therapy utilization. These patients often require aggressive hemodynamic support, including mechanical circulatory devices such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation because of progressive hemodynamic and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1213/xaa.0000000000001666
Abstract: Aconitine poisoning causes refractory ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). In a 20-year-old man, VAs of unknown etiology did not respond to drugs and electrical defibrillation. However, left stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) dramatically decreased arrhythmias without complications. At… read more here.
