Fosphenytoin for control of electrical storm in acute myocardial infarction and Purkinje fiber‐mediated arrhythmias

“…VT/VF early in the course of acute MI results from electrical inhomogeneity in the ventricular myocardium secondary to varying amounts of ischemia and reperfusion . Anaerobic glycolysis and intracellular acidosis resulting from ischemia alters the ionic equilibrium across the cell membrane . Ischemia results in accumulation of intracellular Na + and Ca + and increases the concentration of extracellular K + .…”
