The Ventricular Electrical Storm
摘要
Electrical storm (ES) is a clinical emergency characterised by a cluster of ventricular arrhythmias occurring over a certain time. The two significant variables in defining an electrical storm are the number of ventricular arrhythmias and the timeframe during which they occur. The most widely used definition to date is the occurrence of three or more separate episodes of sustained ventricular arrhythmias within 24 hours.
