Primary endpoint was the incidence of patients with new onset supraventricular arrhythmia (AF, atrialflutter 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).
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.

Once the arrhythmia was under control cardiac MRi was performed. The idiopathic VTs are an interesting group of arrhythmias! No PVCs are seen.
