Why the study?
Does ventricular rate stabilization via a third-generation cardioverter defibrillator prevent recurrent ventricular fibrillation in a post-infarct patient?
Does ventricular rate stabilization via a third-generation cardioverter defibrillator prevent recurrent ventricular fibrillation in a post-infarct patient?
Ventricular rate stabilization via a third-generation ICD may prevent recurrent ventricular fibrillation in post-infarct patients without acute ischemia.
This report describes a post-infarct patient with recurrent ventricular fibrillation in the absence of acute ischaemia, in whom arrhythmia recurrences could be prevented by ventricular rate stabilization of a third-generation cardioverter defibrillator. Review of the literature and clinical implications are discussed.
