Their treatment depends on the patient's haemodynamic status. 5 If signs of circulation are present but the patient is clinically unstable (e.g. impaired level of consciousness, chest pain, heart failure, hypotension, signs of shock), the tachycardia [ipej.org]
Prophylactic use of steroid cream or topical ibuprofen reduces pain and inflammation. [13, 14] Allergic reaction to sedation medication is a potential complication. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Acute myocardial infarction is the most important clinical entity of acute coronary syndromes; its definition is based on troponin elevation together with ischaemic symptoms, typical electrocardiogram changes or imaging evidence of loss of viable myocardium [cochranelibrary.com]
Treatment
If the foregoing treatment fails, patients can be managed with medical treatment alone, repeat cardioversion after antiarrhythmic (eg, ibutilide) treatment, ablation therapy, or atrial defibrillation. [15] Treatment strategies for other supraventricular [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis
What is the prognosis of someone with an Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? The prognosis depends on the type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and the individual. [ehlers-danlos.com]
This may make it difficult to assess the injury and offer a prognosis based on history and physical examination alone. [lightninginjury.lab.uic.edu]
The long-term outlook (prognosis ) for people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) varies by subtype. The vascular type is typically the most severe form of EDS and is often associated with a shortened lifespan. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
The presence of arrhythmias in patients with acute myocardial infarction is associated with a poor prognosis ( Volpi 1990 ). [cochranelibrary.com]
Etiology
The etiology of ventricular arrhythmias in the acute phase of myocardial ischemia in experimental animals is discussed with particular reference to the antiarrhythmic action of drugs. [books.google.com]
The Etiology of Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) The etiology of VF is not completely understood. It often occurs in the setting of acute cardiac ischemia or acute myocardial infarction (MI). It is diagnosed in up to half of sudden-death survivors. [resuscitationcentral.com]
In patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries tachycardia is rarely caused by a primary etiology. [kundoc.com]
Improvement of trigger and underlying etiologic factors enhances the success rate of cardioversion. 8 It should be kept in mind that many consecutive shocks and anesthesia in recurrent doses may worsen hemodynamic status in those patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology of VF Sudden cardiac death can be viewed as a continuum of electromechanical states of the heart: Ventricular tachycardia, VT Ventricular fibrillation, VF Asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA) VF/VT is the most common initial [resuscitationcentral.com]
Although the exact pathophysiology of electrical in- flow of current and is specific for a given tissue, depending on the injury is not well understood, there is at least an appreciation on its moisture content, temperature, and other physical Table 1 [lightninginjury.lab.uic.edu]

Taking an antiarrhythmic drug before the procedure can prevent this. How well it works depends on the size of your left atrium as well as how long you’ve been in AFib. [webmd.com]
