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.

Background Consensus guidelines support the use of implanted cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with either non-ischaemic or ischaemic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35%.

The guidelines for atrial fibrillation ( AF ) from the American Heart Association ( AHA ) in 2019 and the European Society of Cardiologists ( ESC ) in 2020 recommend continued monitoring and evaluation for patients with atrial high-rate episodes (AHRE), with the ESC noting a preference for remote monitoring.5,6 2023;12:e029126.

Tackling SCD was in God’s domain, until the brilliance of Dr. Michel Mirowski shrunk the defibrillator and implanted it under the chest in 1980. (Dr. 2020) The un-disputable fact is ischemic DCM has a target to treat, though it is termed as cardiomyopathy. SCD is the leading cause of mortality in heart failure. Reference 1.

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".
