SUDDEN death in persons with artificial pacemakers is a continuing and disturbing problem. Causes include pacemaker-catheter displacement, electric-component failure, broken wires and rising pacing ...

Late ventricular fibrillation after acute myocardial infarction is associated with a markedly increased risk of 1-year ...

Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK Hearts were placed into a custom-made Plexiglas chamber (Figure 1A) which allowed control of bathing solution ...

Serious ventricular arrhythmias due to carotid-sinus massage are extremely uncommon. Meredith and Beckwith 8 recorded 2 cases of transient ventricular tachycardia that followed its use. The first well ...

Management strategies for ventricular arrhythmias are guided by the risk of sudden death and severity of symptoms. Patients with a substantial risk of sudden death usually need an implantable ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are characterized by spatiotemporally disordered electromechanical states observed in the atria or ventricles. AF and VF episodes can exhibit ...

Abstract: Correct detection and classification of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia are crucial for the monitoring of patients with cardiovascular diseases. This study focuses on ...

High burden of premature ventricular complex (PVC) leads to increased cardiovascular mortality. A recent nationwide population‐based study demonstrated that PVC is associated with an increased risk of ...

Ventricular fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia in which the muscle in the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles) contracts irregularly and rapidly. The ventricles quiver and are unable to ...

Unipolar atrial fibrillation (AF) electrograms (EGMs) require far-field ventricle cancellation to recover hidden atrial activations. Current methods cannot achieve real-time cancellation because of ...
