Upper Limit of Vulnerability During Defibrillator Implantations Predicts the Occurrence of Appropriate Shock Therapy for Ventricular Fibrillation

The Relationship Between Cardiac Vulnerability and Restitution Properties of the Ventricular Activation Recovery Interval

“…The correlation between the ULV and DFT has been reported in multiple studies . Previously, we reported that a high ULV was associated with a high incidence of VF . Those results implied a common mechanism between the vulnerability to electrical shocks and electrical instability.…”
