Learn About Paroxysmal Ventricular Fibrillation

What is the definition of Paroxysmal Ventricular Fibrillation?
A rare, genetic, cardiac rhythm disease characterized by ventricular fibrillation in the absence of any structural or functional heart disease, or known repolarization abnormalities. The presence of J waves is associated with a higher risk of nocturnal ventricular fibrillation events and a higher risk of recurrence.
What are the alternative names for Paroxysmal Ventricular Fibrillation?
  • Paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation
  • IVF
  • Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation
  • Paroxysmal familial ventricular fibrillation
  • Ventricular fibrillation, paroxysmal familial

Investigation of RIsk Factors in Out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest Patients, and MEdical Treatment in Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation Patients

Summary: A person who has experienced a cardiac arrest with no apparent cause is at risk of having recurrent cardiac arrest. Hence an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is recommended on empirical grounds. Today, there is no uniform way of approaching prevention of recurrence in idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) patients, beside ICD implantation. Better reatment and risk stratification to...
