Abstract :
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) developing out of hospital or even in hospital has a reported prognosis for survival that is <50%. We examined the prognosis for VF in 19,497 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and identified 164 who had VF (0.84%). The time to defibrillation was <1 minute and was successful in all without sequelae. Thus, VF developing in the catheterization laboratory is unique in terms of prognosis.
