C ASE C onclusion: As noted above — today's patient developed cardiac arrest shortly after arrival in the ED. Despite prolonged resuscitation with multiple defibrillation attempts — the patient could not be saved. = See My Comment in the June 1, 2020 post in Dr. Smith's ECG Blog — for review of Pleomorphic VT.

However, limited data exist on the global trends of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) utilization and its impact on mortality/morbidity burden reduction.METHODS:Electronic databases were systematically searched up to March 2024 for studies reporting on ICD utilization rates in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Mean age was 46.2

This episode self terminated before defibrillation was possible. The patient did not have a positive family history of epilepsy, sudden cardiac death (SCD) or recurrent syncope. This run of TdP is initiated by a PVC — but it then self-terminates. Discussion : The patient in today’s case presented with "seizures".
