Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation is diagnosed in patients who survived a ventricular
fibrillation episode without any identifiable structural or electrical cause after extensive …

Aims Mapping data of human ventricular fibrillation (VF) are limited. We performed detailed
mapping of the activities underlying the onset of VF and targeted ablation in patients with …

There has been growing evidence that the Purkinje network plays a pivotal role in both the
initiation and perpetuation of ventricular fibrillation (VF). A triggering ventricular premature …

Background: Sudden cardiac death because of ventricular fibrillation (VF) is commonly
unexplained in younger victims. Detailed electrophysiological mapping in such patients has …

Background—Ventricular fibrillation is the main mechanism of sudden cardiac death. The
feasibility of eliminating recurrent episodes by catheter ablation has not been reported …

A 54-year-old man with resuscitated VF and multiple episodes of syncope was referred to
our hospital. Cardiac evaluation included cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, and …

Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is the main cause of unexplained sudden cardiac
death, particularly in young patients under the age of 35. IVF is a diagnosis of exclusion in …

Background: Purkinje‐like potentials (PLPs) have been described as important contributors
to initiation of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in patients with normal hearts, ischemic …

2 Visser et al IVF: Definition, Diagnosis, and Follow-Up familial inheritance of a malign ER
pattern have been identified. 15 Therefore, ERS is considered a separate disease entity that …

Introduction: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the main mechanism of sudden cardiac death. The
clinical precipitants of sudden cardiac death due to idiopathic VF are poorly characterized …
