Electrical storm presages nonsudden death: the antiarrhythmics versus implantable defibrillators (AVID) trial.
BACKGROUND Electrical storm, multiple temporally related episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF), is a frequent problem among recipients of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). However, insufficient data exist regarding its prognostic significance. METHODS AND RESULTS This analysis includes 457 patients who received an ICD in the Antiarrhythmics Ve...
متن کاملSudden and Nonsudden Cardiac Death After Myocardial Infarction
The role of ventricular ectopic beats (VEBs) in identifying patients who die of cardiac cause in the posthospital phase of myocardial infarction was evaluated in 940 patients who survived an acute coronary event. Six-hour Holter ECG recordings were obtained before hospital discharge, and VEBs were classified as complex (bigeminal, multiform, repetitive or R on T), simple (one or more VEBs that ...
متن کاملElectrical storm: Is right ventricular pacing dangerous?
Introduction: Electrical storm is commonly defined as the occurrence of three or more episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) in 24 hours. Patients with an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) are at increased risk of electrical storm due to history of decreased ejection fraction and/or sustained VT/VF. In addition to medical treatment of electrical storm in...
متن کاملElectrical storm: Incidence, Prognosis and Therapy
The term "electrical storm" indicates a life-threatening clinical condition characterized by the recurrence of hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation, in particular in patients with ICD implanted for primary or secondary prevention. Although there isn't a shared definition of electrical storm, nowadays the most accepted definition refers to three or mor...
متن کاملThe evaluation and management of electrical storm.
Electrical storm is an increasingly common and life-threatening syndrome that is defined by 3 or more sustained episodes of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or appropriate shocks from an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator within 24 hours. The clinical presentation can be dramatic. Electrical storm can manifest itself during acute myocardial infarction and in patients who h...
