CASE REPORT

Prevention of recurrent ventricular fibrillation by ventricular rate stabilization

W. Grimm, J. Hoffmann, V. Menz and B. Maisch

Clinical Electrophysiology Laboratory, Cardiology Division, Department of Medicine, Hospital of the Philipps-University of Marburg Marburg, Germany

This report describes a post-infarct patient with recurrent ventricular fibrillation in the absence of acute ischaemia, in whom arrhythmia recurrences could be prevented by ventricular rate stabilization of a third-generation cardioverter defibrillator. Review of the literature and clinical implications are discussed.

Key Words: Implantable defibrillator, ventricular fibrillation, rate stabilization
