Key result
Prophylactic therapy with mexiletine and propranolol effectively prevented ventricular fibrillation for over 3 years in a patient with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and persistent ST elevation.
Why the study?
Does propranolol and mexiletine prevent ventricular fibrillation in a patient with idiopathic VF, IRBBB, and persistent ST elevation?
Case Report (n=1)
No
Does propranolol and mexiletine prevent ventricular fibrillation in a patient with idiopathic VF, IRBBB, and persistent ST elevation?
Propranolol and mexiletine effectively prevented recurrent ventricular fibrillation in a patient with idiopathic VF, incomplete RBBB, and persistent ST elevation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May be considered in refractory idiopathic VF with ST elevation; leaves open confirmation in prospective studies.
Sumiyoshi et al. (1993) conducted a case report in Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (n=1). Propranolol and mexiletine was evaluated on Prevention of ventricular fibrillation. Prophylactic therapy with mexiletine and propranolol effectively prevented ventricular fibrillation for over 3 years in a patient with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and persistent ST elevation.
