Transient ST elevation after transthoracic cardioversion in patients with hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachyarrhythmia

The significance of ST-segment elevation after resuscitation from arrhythmias not associated with ischemia was examined in a group of patients who received transthoracic shocks for hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachyarrhythmias during electrophysiologic studies. ST-segment elevation was seen...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The significance of ST-segment elevation after resuscitation from arrhythmias not associated with ischemia was examined in a group of patients who received transthoracic shocks for hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachyarrhythmias during electrophysiologic studies. ST-segment elevation was seen in 15.4%, was transient, and was not associated with clinical evidence of myocardial infarction.
