Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. First STEMI patients who experienced VF within the first 12 hours of symptoms of STEMI before PPCI
  • 2\. Age between 18 and 80 years
  • 3\. Caucasians
  • 4\. Cardiac symptoms lasting \=12 hours
  • 5\. Acute ST\-segment elevation revealed by ECG
  • 1\. First STEMI patients who did not have VF during the first 12 hours of symptoms of STEMI before PPCI
  • 2\. Age between 18 and 80 years
  • 3\. Caucasians
  • 4\. Cardiac symptoms lasting \=12 hours
  • 5\. Acute ST\-segment elevation revealed by ECG

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Cases and controls who developed VF during PPCI will be excluded because VF during PPCI is believed to be reperfusion induced; however, case patients with VF before PPCI who continued to have VF during PPCI can participate
  • 2\. Other exclusions included VF after PPCI
  • 3\. Congenital heart defects
  • 4\. Known structural heart disease
  • 5\. Use of class I and III antiarrhythmic drugs
  • 6\. Recent cancer
  • 7\. Major surgery or trauma within 4 weeks
  • 8\. Presentation with potassium concentration of \<3 or \>5 mmol/L
  • 9\. Because we also planned to identify genetic markers associated with VF, and because \>90% of the Danish populations are white Danes, we excluded non\-white Danes to reduce the risk of population stratification for future genetic analysis
