In a patient with an overt Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and short paroxysms of atrio-ventricular tachycardia, episodes of atrial fibrillation occurred twice at age of 21 and 24. Atrial fibrillation degenerated into ventricular fibrillation. Intravenous injection of verapamil in this patient (with a short refractory period of the accessory pathway) could have facilitated ventricular fibrillation. The patient was resuscitated successfully. Electrophysiologic study revealed double accessory pathways--in the left free wall (effective refractory period in both directions--below 200 ms) and right posterior ++para-septal localization. 20th Nov 1990 A. Biederman M.D. performed surgical dissection of both accessory pathways. In control electrophysiologic studies there was no evidence of abnormal atrio-ventricular conduction. During one year follow up the patient reported no paroxysms of tachycardia.

D014693 Ventricular Fibrillation A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST. Fibrillation, Ventricular,Fibrillations, Ventricular,Ventricular Fibrillations
