Arrhythmias : A leadless pacemaker-defibrillator system provides antitachycardia pacing for ventricular tachycardia in patients with subcutaneous ICDs. Preventive Cardiology : The new PREVENT risk calculator is more accurate than the 2013 PCEs’ ASCVD risk estimates and is recommended for risk stratification.

Otherwise vitals after intubation were only notable for tachycardia. An initial EKG was obtained: Computer read: sinus tachycardia, early acute anterior infarct. She was ventilated by bag-valve-mask by EMS on arrival and was quickly intubated with etomidate and succinylcholine. A rectal temperature was obtained which read 107.9

We rapidly defibrillated her, and with return of normal sinus rhythm. Several minutes later the patient developed V-fib again > 200J defibrillation with return to NSR. Rapid sequence intubation was performed for airway protection in setting of recurrent V-fib and defibrillations. Chest X-ray also showed pulmonary edema.

Several 200 J shocks did not terminate the VF, so a second defibrillator was applied for double sequential defibrillation with 400 J. She was defibrillated perhaps 25 times. Propranolol versus Metoprolol for treatment of electrical storm in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. SanzRuiz, R., Solis, J., &
