Background: The vagal response (VR) is unavoidable during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF). In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of VR during PVI initiated from the right superior pulmonary vein (RSPV).
Methods: Patients with AF were consecutively enrolled.

Ventricular arrhythmia is a critical and challenging cardiovascular complication of myocardial infarction (MI). An electrical storm (ES), characterised by three or more episodes of sustained ventricular arrhythmia within 24 hours, poses a significant life-threatening risk.

Background: Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) are rare neuroendocrine catecholamine (CA)-secreting tumours that originate from chromaffin tissue and can produce and store CAs. Unexpected PCCs pose a serious threat to the perioperative safety of patients and a considerable challenge to anaesthesiologists because of the risks of fatal hypertensive crises and other stresses.
Case Presentation: A 37-year-old woman who was scheduled for tonsillectomy and palatopharyngoplasty under general anaesthesia experienced a malignant cardiovascular event after induction, which was characterized mainly by a sharp increase in heart rate and blood pressure, ultimately leading to cardiac arrest and the occurrence of secondary long QT syndrome.

Background: Patients who achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) may re-arrest. This phenomenon has not been sufficiently investigated. The aim of this study was to examine the immediate (1-min) and short-term (20-min) risks of re-arrest in IHCA.
