| A second cardiac arrest that began with asystole was followed by ventricular fibrillation. |
| Defibrillators treat ventricular fibrillation by delivering an electric shock to the chest, and so indirectly to the heart. |
| Death resulting from hyperkalaemia may be due to asystole, ventricular fibrillation, or a wide pulseless idioventricular rhythm. |
| As hypoxemia supervenes, the patient becomes comatose and death may result from ventricular fibrillation or asystole. |
| This was no easy arrest to manage, as the heart rhythm alternated between ventricular fibrillation and asystole. |
| In one case, the mutation led to acquired torsade de pointes and ventricular fibrillation. |
