Sometimes it really isn't vagal. 2 months ago, a guy I was racing against in a bike race went down during the race. It took a surprising amount of time for me to decide to drop out of the race and loop back to help with CPR. AED did show a shockable rhythm. The VF victim was a really nice guy who showed up at my house last week with a check to reimburse me for the "wasted" (not really) race entry fee. That makes 2 bystander CPR saves in my lifetime - the other was a 12 year old (also in a bicycle race) with VF from long QT. He also came to see me and thank me a couple weeks later. To paraphrase Mel: What we do (sometimes) "matters."
