An unusual case of cardiac arrest due to trauma-induced QT prolongation
Anno:
2023
Background QT prolongation is a well-known cause of sudden cardiac death due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia triggered by early afterdepolarizations. Acquired long QT is a common finding in several clinical scenarios and invariably represents a high risk feature. Case Report An 84 years-old woman presented to our emergency department…
Ventricular fibrillation spectral area (AMSA) and low-energy shock success prediction in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Anno:

Introduction. In case of cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT), the optimal energy level for defibrillation is that which achieves defibrillation and minimize the current-induced myocardial damage. Therefore, it would be reasonable to reduce the energy level as well as the number of…
