Recurrent Ventricular Arrythmias in ICU

Sponsor: Central Hospital, Nancy, France

Summary

Electrical storm (ES) is a life-threatening syndrome defined by the recurrence of ventricular arrythmias. ES is also represented by a wide spectrum of clinical situations ranging from recurrent monomorphic VT reduced by anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) in relatively stable patients to recurrent VF in hemodynamically unstable patients. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and predictors of long term mortality following hospitalization in the intensive care unit for ES, in a large retrospective multicentric study.
