TRANSIENT ventricular fibrillation is now one of the well established causes of the Adams–Stokes syndrome. This fact has recently been documented by Robertson and Mathews, § who thoroughly reviewed ...

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 78 beats/min. Before each QRS complex, there are two pacing stimuli (+,v) with a very short interval (0.06 sec) between them. They are both ventricular pacing ...

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 ...

Serious ventricular arrhythmias due to carotid-sinus massage are extremely uncommon. Meredith and Beckwith 8 recorded 2 cases of transient ventricular tachycardia that followed its use. The first well ...
