Figure 1 RR-interval irregularity (RRI) in ventricular fibrillation (VF) patient (A) and matched control patient (B). Primarily due to irregular runs of ventricular ectopic beats, the VF patient had an RRI of 257 ms prior to the ischemic VF (red arrow), whereas the control patient had an RRI of 20 ms in the equivalent time interval. Green complexes indicate sinus beats; red complexes indicate ventricular ectopic beats; blue complexes indicate artifact (not used for any calculations).
