Cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a highly morbid condition and is associated with subsequent mortality, even in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).1–3 Early ablation should be considered given previously reported short term mortality benefit.2,4 Understanding the mechanisms of VF is crucial to enhance likelihood of ablation success.
