Limited information is available on self-terminating (ST) ventricular fibrillation (VF). Understanding spontaneous fluctuations in VF cycle length (CL) is required to identify arrhythmia that will stop before shock. Using Brugada syndrome (BS) as a model, the purpose of the study was to compare ST-VF and VF terminated by electrical shock and to look for spontaneous fluctuations in ventricular CL.
