hydrochlorothiazide and Ventricular Fibrillation

hydrochlorothiazide has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 6 studies

Hydrochlorothiazide: A thiazide diuretic often considered the prototypical member of this class. It reduces the reabsorption of electrolytes from the renal tubules. This results in increased excretion of water and electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium. It is used in the treatment of several disorders including edema, hypertension, diabetes insipidus, and hypoparathyroidism.
hydrochlorothiazide : A benzothiadiazine that is 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide substituted by a chloro group at position 6 and a sulfonamide at 7. It is diuretic used for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure.

Ventricular Fibrillation: A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effect of potassium ion (K+) depletion on postmyocardial infarction ventricular arrhythmias was investigated in 32 dogs: 12 control animals, 10 animals that ate a diet extremely low in K+ for 15 days, and 10 others that, in addition to dietary K+ deprivation, received 50 mg of hydrochlorothiazide four times."3.67The effect of potassium ion depletion on postinfarction canine cardiac arrhythmias.
