Renal denervation ameliorates the risk of ventricular fibrillation in overweight and heart failure.

Only registered users can translate articles

Both obesity and heart failure (HF) are associated with sudden cardiac death. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of overweight and HF on the substrate for ventricular fibrillation (VF), and whether renal denervation (RDN) can protect the heart from sympathetic

Ventricular Fibrillation Refractory to Cutaneous Electrical Defibrillation in a Morbidly Obese Pediatric Patient With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a case of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation in a morbidly obese pediatric patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. During routine defibrillator threshold testing of the newly placed subcutaneous implantable

Herbal remedies-how safe are they? A case report of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation induced by herbal medication used for obesity.

Survivors of ventricular fibrillation have persistent cardiovascular risk factors late in follow-up.

OBJECTIVE Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) prevent arrhythmic death, but do not modify disease progression. The prevalence of persistent cardiovascular risk factors in patients receiving an ICD and their adherence to optimal pharmacological therapy at late follow-up is unknown. The aim

Factors Associated With High-Voltage Impedance and Subcutaneous Implantable Defibrillator Ventricular Fibrillation Conversion Success.

Only registered users can translate articles

The ability to predict defibrillation efficacy at the time of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation without the need to induce ventricular fibrillation might eliminate the need for defibrillation testing. The purpose of this study was to determine the

Ventricular fibrillation caused by electrocoagulation during laparoscopic surgery.

A 35-year-old man with morbid obesity was admitted to our hospital to undergo gastric banding gastroplasty by the laparoscopic approach. Aside from his morbid adiposity, with a body mass index (BMI) of 49.9 kg/m2, the patient was healthy. During the procedure, he developed ventricular fibrillation

Safety of dobutamine stress transesophageal echocardiography in obese patients for evaluation of potential ischemic heart disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study was to determine the safety of dobutamine stress transesophageal echocardiography (DS-TEE) in the evaluation of potential coronary artery disease in obese patients. Obese patients tend to have a higher prevalence of hypertension, coronary artery disease, and sleep apnea

Ventricular fibrillation resulting from diaphragmatic stimulation during gastric bypass surgery.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Gastric bypass operations are common and severely obese patients are prone to arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation. Intraoperative ventricular arrhythmias during bariatric surgery have not been reported previously. METHODS A 35-year-old, severely obese, diabetic woman with no

Body mass index and outcomes of in-hospital ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation arrest.

Only registered users can translate articles

Due to higher transthoracic impedance, obese patients may be less likely to be successfully defibrillated from ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) arrest. However, the association between patient body mass index (BMI), defibrillation success, and survival outcomes of VT/VF

Placement of a Continuous Stellate Ganglion Block for Treatment of Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation in the Setting of Known Prinzmetal Angina During Pregnancy: A Case Report.

Only registered users can translate articles

A patient with a history of Prinzmetal angina, refractory ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, and obesity presented to the emergency department at 17 weeks gestational age with a chief complaint of angina and multiple episodes of defibrillation. A

Cardiac Ion Channel Regulation in Obesity and the Metabolic Syndrome: Relevance to Long QT Syndrome and Atrial Fibrillation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity and its associated metabolic dysregulation leading to metabolic syndrome is an epidemic that poses a significant public health problem. More than one-third of the world population is overweight or obese leading to enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality. Obesity

Ventricular fibrillation associated with use of synephrine containing dietary supplement.

Only registered users can translate articles

As the prevalence of obesity increases in the United States, military personnel are turning to unregulated dietary supplements to aid in weight loss. Some of these supplements may cause more harm than benefit. We report the case of a 27-year-old active duty female who experienced an episode of

Obesity as a risk factor for sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias in MADIT II patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Obesity, as defined by body mass index > or =30 kg/m(2), has been shown to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, data on the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death are limited. The aim of this study was

Relation of Obesity to Survival After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous studies have shown that obesity is paradoxically associated with improved outcomes in many cardiovascular (CV) disease states; however, whether obesity affects survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has not been well examined. We queried the 2003 to 2011 Nationwide Inpatient

Protective mechanisms of resveratrol against ischemia-reperfusion-induced damage in hearts obtained from Zucker obese rats: the role of GLUT-4 and endothelin.

Only registered users can translate articles

The resveratrol-induced cardiac protection was studied in Zucker obese rats. Rats were divided into five groups: group 1, lean control; group 2, obese control (OC); group 3, obese rats treated orally with 5 mg kg(-1) day(-1) of resveratrol (OR) for 2 wk; group 4, obese rats received 10% glucose
