Depending on how the heart’s electrical activity appears on an EKG, a doctor may diagnose coarse or fine ventricular fibrillation (VF). Coarse VF appears as larger waves on an EKG compared with the ...

Ventricular fibrillation (VFib or VF) and ventricular tachycardia (v-tach or VT) are two types of heart arrhythmia that occur in the heart’s lower chambers called the ventricles. The ventricles ...

August 7, 2012 (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) — Cardiac arrests from ventricular fibrillation (VF) in northern Holland decreased from 63% of all arrests to 47% of all arrests over the past decade, and a ...

They therefore suggest a new model based on the recognition of 3 distinct phases of arrest in which different resuscitation strategies could be employed. Within roughly the first 4 minutes, in what ...

Researchers estimate that implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) account for a third of the decrease in cardiac arrests caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF). The incidence of VF-related ...

Early defibrillation plays a key role in improving survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests due to ventricular fibrillation (ventricular-fibrillation cardiac arrests), and the use of ...

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators account for one-third of the decrease in cardiac arrests caused by ventricular fibrillation in North-Holland, according to research in Circulation, an American ...

According to research, implantable cardioverter defibrillators account for one-third of the decrease in cardiac arrests caused by ventricular fibrillation in North-Holland. The research can be found ...
