Long-duration self-limiting idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.
A 26-year-old woman, with no relevant personal or family history, experienced 3 resting syncopal episodes with tonic convulsions in a period of 2 months. The physical examination, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, programmed stimulation, and a provocation test with flecainide were normal or negative. A subcutaneous Holter was implanted (Reveal® Plus Medtronic, Inc.) which was consulted a fortn...
متن کاملElectrophysiological deterioration during long-duration ventricular fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Probability of survival from sudden cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF) decreases rapidly with fibrillation duration. We hypothesized that cellular ischemia/fibrillation-induced electrophysiological deterioration underlies decreased survival. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined fibrillation monophasic action potential (MAP) morphology including action potential fre...
متن کاملTypes of data and how they can be analysed
In this lecture we shall look at the statistical principals involved in the presentation of the results of research studies. We shall illustrate this with a look at how people analysed data in a leading health research journal: The British Medical Journal, or BMJ. The BMJ is published both on paper and on-line, but it now uses the on-line journal as the key publication. For this lecture, we sha...

متن کاملThe Importance of Purkinje Activation in Long Duration Ventricular Fibrillation
BACKGROUND The mechanisms that maintain long duration ventricular fibrillation (LDVF) are unclear. The difference in distribution of the Purkinje system in dogs and pigs was explored to determine if Purkinje activation propagates to stimulate working myocardium (WM) during LDVF and WM pacing. METHODS AND RESULTS In-vivo extracellular recordings were made from 1044 intramural plunge and epicar...
