It significantly inhibits serum creatine kinase activity and incidences
of ventricular tachycardia.

Defibrillation is a medical technique used to counter the onset
of ventricular fibrillation, (VF) a common cause
of cardiac arrest, and pulseless
ventricular tachycardia, which sometimes precedes
ventricular fibrillation but can be just as dangerous on its own.
Patients who experienced SCA related to sexual activity also had a higher rate
of ventricular fibrillation /
tachycardia than those who did not.
Study participation was restricted to patients with either
ventricular fibrillation or
ventricular tachycardia who did not achieve a stable heart rhythm after at least one defibrillator shock and, therefore, represent the typical group
of those who receive such medications for cardiac arrest in clinical practice.
The boy who provided the cells has CPVT (catecholaminergic polymorphic
ventricular tachycardia), as do some
of his relatives.
The research, published in the journal Nature, found that transplanting genetically engineered muscle cells into the hearts
of mice who had been induced to have heart attacks reduced the risk
of a condition called
ventricular tachycardia.
Ventricular tachycardia is an arrhythmia that is caused by abnormal electrical impulses that are generated somewhere within the ventricles
of the heart.
Ventricular tachycardia can be life - threatening, and while some dogs be asymptomatic, this arrhythmia can lead to hypotension, destruction
of cardiac muscle tissue, collapse, and even sudden death.
Matilde a 5 - year - old English Bulldog was presented for an incessant monomorphic
ventricular tachycardia (
ventricular rate
of 380 bpm) inducing cardiogenic shock.
ECG

Ventricular tachycardia in a horse.
Cardiac dilation, decreased oxygen supply, and increased oxygen demand secondary to elevated heart rate and
ventricular wall stress may predispose to the development
of cardiac arrhythmias arising in either the atria (atrial fibrillation, supraventricular
tachycardia) or in the ventricles (
ventricular premature complexes,
ventricular tachycardia).
In some diseases, such as dilated cardiomyopathy in Doberman Pinschers or ARVC in boxers, cardiac muscle cells are replaced by fibrous (scar) tissue, fat, or fibro - fatty tissue, which creates an ideal environment to disrupt the normal electrical stimulation
of the heart and cause arrhythmias particularly
ventricular tachycardia.
