Abstract:
:A 19-year-old man had a documented ventricular fibrillation during a football match. He was a top-level athlete, and after successful resuscitation, he was extensively studied. Electrolytic disturbances, long QT syndrome and nervous mechanisms were all ruled out. Right and left ventriculography, coronary angiograms, electrophysiologic study and endomyocardial biopsy all proved normal. A beta-blocker was empirically given in the absence of any reliable test to guide therapy more scientifically.

杂志文章abstract:BACKGROUND:At present, the estimation of rest heart rate (HR) in atrial fibrillation (AF) is obtained by apical auscultation for 1min or on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) by multiplying the number of RR intervals on the 10second recording by six. But the reasonability of 10second ECG recording is controversial. M...
