We report the case of a patient who developed spontaneously a ventricular fibrillation during atrial fibrillation, 8 min after a perfusion of isoproterenol was stopped. Two mechanisms could explain the ventricular arrhythmia: silent ischaemia and a long-short cycle sequence just before ventricular fibrillation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
