Key result
Review outlines the epidemiology, mechanisms, ECG features, and management of ICU ventricular arrhythmias.
Why the study?
Arrhythmias are common in the intensive care unit, where appropriate identification and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias are particularly important to reduce morbidity and mortality.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology, mechanisms, electrocardiographic features, and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias in the intensive care unit.
Serves as a reference for clinicians encountering ventricular arrhythmias in the ICU; leaves open questions for future mechanistic and therapeutic studies.
Arrhythmias are commonly encountered in the intensive care unit as a primary admitting diagnosis or secondary to an acute illness. Appropriate identification and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias in this setting are particularly important to reduce morbidity and mortality. This review highlights the epidemiology, mechanisms, electrocardiographic features, and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias.
