Atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) such as atrial flutter and fibrillation increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and mortality. In patients with implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD), they may also lead to rapid stable ventricular rhythms that result in inappropriate therapies.

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.

He underwent further standard resuscitation EXCEPT that we applied the Inspiratory Threshold Device ( ResQPod ) AND applied Dual Sequential Defibrillation (this simply means we applied 2 sets of pads, had 2 defib machines, and defibrillated with both with only a fraction of one second separating each defibrillation.

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. PEARL # 3: At this point — the most time-efficient step for solving today's rhythm will be to determine the nature of atrial activity.

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.

Possible but, again, the QRS morphology is atypical 3) Atrial Flutter with 2:1 conduction and "aberrancy". I do not see flutter wave baseline, and again the QRS morphology is not typical for a supraventricular rhythm. See this case, for example: A Relatively Narrow Complex Tachycardia at a Rate of 180.
