A multicenter analysis of implantable monitoring device-based diagnosis of supraventricular arrhythmia post patent foramen ovale closure: the OCCL-ILR study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Primary endpoint was the incidence of patients with new onset supraventricular arrhythmia (AF, atrial flutter or any supraventricular tachycardia) lasting >30s, post PFO closure.ResultsA total of 59 patients met the inclusion criteria. A total of 88 supraventricular arrhythmia events (96.6% days (IQR 1321).

ECG Blog #370 — A Post-Arrest Tachycardia.

Ken Grauer, MD

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.

Here is a representative CXR from a different patient showing a typical CRT-D The blue dotted line overlies the right atrial lead The red dotted line overlies the RV lead. This is the shock coil and identifies this device as a defibrillator. CRT-D is cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillation capability, like the CXR above.

Electrical instability in a healthy 50 year old. How to manage?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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.
