Multicenter Study Observational StudyPrognostic implication of early ventricular fibrillation among patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction.
The aim of this study was to analyze the prognosis of patients presenting early ventricular fibrillation (VF) in the setting of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). ⋯ Our results show that VF before ICU admission was an independent predictor of in-hospital outcome in a cohort of patients in whom fibrinolysis was the most used revascularization therapy. However, this prognostic value was not found in patients treated with primary angioplasty.
