Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with various major adverse cardiac events such as ischemic stroke, heart failure, and increased overall mortality. However, its association with lethal ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular flutter (VFL), and ventricular fibrillatio...

The latter had early symptoms in life, developed atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) and required pacemaker implantation at a younger age. However, they developed cardiomyopathy less frequently and had a lower rate of sustained ventricular tachy-arrhythmias compared to patients with cardiac onset. Rhythm ...

Answer to: Compare atrial vs ventricular fibrillation: a. Which is more dangerous and why? b. What are the most serious medical risks associated...
One lethal event of acute cardiac death occurred during the first cycle in a patient with transposition of the big arteries, atrial flutter, and mitral valve regurgitation. In the remaining 20 patients, no deterioration of myocardial function was observed in echocardiography performed before and after...
When the pericardium fills with blood, it produces a condition called cardiac tamponade, which can be rapidly lethal. Why is this condition so dangerous? Why does ventricular hypertrophy benefit the athlete but hinder the heart...
the atrioventricular (AV) node, the right-sided myocardium, and the papillary muscles [30]. The predisposition for the development of accessory atrioventricular pathways may lead to rapid conduction of atrial fibrillation or flutter, which has been described to degenerate into fatal ventricular tachycard...
