Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in the setting of acute myocardial ischemia can also be treated by intravenous lignocaine bolus followed by infusion. Predisposing causes for ventricular tachycardia like ischemia and electrolyte imbalance has to be treated simultaneously to prevent recurrence.
2] Conduction through the accessory pathway can be intermittent (with different degrees of pre-excitation), and affected by ischemia. 3] So a patient with WPW can have the pattern induced by ischemia, and there is also a report of a patient with pre-existing WPW which was “ablated” by myocardial infarction after an LAD occlusion.[4]
There is no definite evidence of acute ischemia. (ie, Simply stated — t he patient was having recurrent PMVT without Q Tc prolongation, and without evidence of ongoing transmural ischemia. ( Some residual ischemia in the infarct border might still be present. Both episodes are initiated by an "R-on-T" phenomenon.
That said there were no clinical symptoms or ECG findings suggestive of ongoing ischemia. Below in Figure-5 is a 10-minute continuous lead II recording on oral Flecainide, now showing sinus bradycardia without a single PVC! The patient has been scheduled for a PVC ablation procedure. Therefore A different approach is needed.
