RR-interval irregularity precedes ventricular fibrillation in ST elevation acute myocardial infarction
2010, Heart RhythmCitation Excerpt :No differences in baseline characteristics were found, except for male preponderance in the VF patients. This is not in accordance with previous research in which no gender difference with regard to ischemic VF or sudden cardiac arrest was found.9,14–18 Our finding could be an observation by chance, due to multiple exploratory tests that in no way are related to any hypothesis tested in this study.
Association of Impaired Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction Myocardial Perfusion Grade With Ventricular Tachycardia and Ventricular Fibrillation Following Fibrinolytic Therapy for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
2008, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Alternatively, local metabolic derangements (23) as well as changes in the expression of cardiomyocyte membrane ion channels, could be induced by poor myocardial perfusion (24). A number of epidemiologic risk factors associated with ventricular arrhythmia have been observed (3–5). Risk factor assessment is ever-changing as modern pharmacologic therapy for coronary artery disease and heart failure change (25).
Alimentary lipemia enhances procoagulatory effects of inflammation in patients with a history of acute myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular fibrillation
2008, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The incidence of serious ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction is between 4 and 20% [40,41] and decreased significantly with modern therapies within the last years [42–46], but still in 15% of all patients with coronary disease, sudden cardiac death is the initial clinical event [47]. Known variables associated with early primary VF are advanced age, hypokalemia, prior arterial hypertension or hypotension, pre-existing atrial fibrillation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [35,36,44,48]. Heterogeneous ventricular repolarization due to sympathetic activation contributing to adverse electrophysiological remodeling with a prolonged surface QT interval seems to be associated with an increased risk for ischemia-dependent VF [49].
