Pulseless ventricular tachycardia occurs when an abnormally rapid heart rate originating in the heart’s lower chambers makes a pulse undetectable. Emergency cardiac defibrillation is usually ...

Pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an atypical heart rhythm that can cause chest pain, fainting, and cardiac arrest. Doctors treat it with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillators ...

There must be some form of electrical activity on the ECG or telemetry that is not ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation or asystole. Pulseless electrical activity frequently manifests ...

The incidence of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia as the first recorded rhythm after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has unexpectedly declined. The success of bystander ...

Antiarrhythmic drugs are used commonly in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest for shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, but without proven survival benefit.

“Thirty years ago, 70% of such arrests were characterized by initial ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia; today, the incidence is 23%,” the researchers said in the study.

ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. The procedure involves the delivery of an electric shock to the heart which causes depolarisation of the heart muscles and re ...

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 ...
