Temporal trends of survival and utilization of mechanical circulatory support devices in patients with in‐hospital cardiac arrest secondary to ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions"
DOI: 10.1002/ccd.28138
Abstract: Pulseless ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) is the initial rhythm in a third of in‐hospital cardiac arrest patients. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device use remains poorly understood in this population. read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12517
Abstract: Prior to ventricular tachycardia ablation, this patient's cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) was temporarily programmed to backup pacing mode with tachycardia therapies disabled. During radiofrequency energy delivery, the patient developed ventricular fibrillation requiring emergent cardioversion.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10840-018-0402-7
Abstract: The Purkinje network (PN) is the distal part of the ventricular conduction system, which has shown to play a central role in the pathophysiology of ventricular fibrillation (VF). Abnormal automaticity and triggered activity are commonly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2020.104136
Abstract: BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death. Quantitative analysis of the VF electrocardiogram (ECG) can predict patient outcomes and could potentially enable a patient-specific, guided approach to resuscitation. However,… read more here.
