What is the most likely cause of this arrhythmia? Despite prolonged resuscitation with multiple defibrillation attempts — the patient could not be saved. = Multifocal vs Polymorphic VT — September 23, 2011 post from Dr. S. He developed cardiac arrest shortly after the ECG in Figure-1 was recorded.

However, he suddenly developed a series of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours. Below are printouts of some of the arrhythmias recorded. This time, the arrhythmia did not spontaneously terminate — but rather degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation.

Progressive decline across periods in mortality rates among patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Abstract Introduction Despite advancements in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) technology, sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a persistent public health concern. 001) and the combined outcome ( p  = .009).

Methods and Results All consecutive patients ( n =264) with previous ICD who underwent LVAD surgery between May 2011 and December 2019 at our institution were included. ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative echocardiographic parameters for occurrence of VAs in patients with preexisting ICD undergoing LVAD implantation.

She underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation for VT/VFib — with ROSC ( R eturn O f S pontaneous C irculation ) following defibrillation and treatment with Epinephrine and Amiodarone. A series of cardiac arrhythmias were seen during the course of her resuscitation — including the interesting arrhythmia shown in the long lead II of Figure-1.

The possibility of an ischemic cause of the ventricular arrhythmia has to be considered! A workup was undertaken in search of a cause of the patient's ventricular arrhythmia. Once the arrhythmia was under control cardiac MRi was performed. The idiopathic VTs are an interesting group of arrhythmias! No PVCs are seen.
