Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation Induced With Vagal Activity in Patients Without Obvious Heart Disease
Abstract
Background Recently, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) has gained much attention. Although several subgroups have been described, its pathogenesis, mechanism, treatment, and prognosis remain unknown. Methods and Results We studied six cases of idiopathic VF with transient late r′ waves and ST elevation (late r′/ST elevation) in leads V 1 through V 3 . Late r′/ST elevation was augmented before and after VF episodes. Signal-averaged ECGs showed late potentials even when no late r′/ST elevation occurred. During late r′, a conduction delay was observed by use of body-surface maps at the anterior wall and outflow tract of the right ventricle without inhomogeneity of the repolarization phase. There was a decrease or total disappearance of late r′/ST elevation with isoproterenol, atropine, and exercise stress testing and induction or exacerbation with propranolol, edrophonium, and hyperventilation. VF was induced by programmed electrical stimulation in all cases but two, in which it was induced only after edrophonium injection. In two cases, VF was exacerbated by propranolol, and in all cases, it was uninducible with isoproterenol. Heart rate spectral analysis just before VF episodes showed a sudden rise in vagal activity in two cases. As the VF mechanism, a conduction delay exists at the anterior wall and outflow tract of the right ventricle that is possibly exacerbated by an abrupt rise in vagal activity, inducing random reentry that results in VF. Class I antiarrhythmic agents and β-blockers were ineffective for this VF. All subjects required implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. Conclusions We propose this VF associated with late r′/ST elevation in the precordial leads and influenced by vagal activity as a new possible mechanism of idiopathic VF.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
