And of course Ken's comments at the bottom) An elderly obese woman with cardiomyopathy, Left bundle branch block, and chronic hypercapnea presented hypoxic with altered mental status. I do not see OMI here and all trops were only minimally elevated, consistent with either chronic injury from cardiomyopathy or with acute injury from sepsis.

After resuscitation and defibrillation , there were no more episodes of TdP. Below is the patient’s 12 lead ECG following defibrillation. The patient was diagnosed with stress cardiomyopathy. Widespread T wave inversions and prolongation of the QT interval is not uncommon in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

The deep learning algorithm helps segment the left ventricle predicting cardiomyopathy and ejection fraction. Similarly, you may use our , app to adjust the paper speed along with amplification to read the slightest changes, especially for conditions like tachycardia and bradycardia.

She was given CRT-D (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Defibrillator). The granulomatous inflammation affects the heart, causing an infiltrative cardiomyopathy The most common manifestations of cardiac sarcoidosis are atrioventricular (AV) block and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT). The biopsy was consistent with cardiac sarcoidosis.

During the night, while on telemetry, the patient became bradycardic, with periods of isorhythmic AV dissociation (nodal escape rhythm alternating with sinus bradycardia), and there were sporadic PVCs. She spontaneously converted (Defibrillation was not performed). Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is not a completely benign disorder.

By ECG alone: it is suspicious for stress cardiomyopathy, or takotsubo, due to the diffuse ST Elevation: II, III, aVF AND I and aVL. Subarachnoid hemorrhage causes extreme central catecholamine output, resulting in stress cardiomyopathy, just like takotsubo. This is unusual in acute OMI. she had severe pulmonary edema.

Whenever I see PVCs with the morphology and axis seen in todays case I always look for signs of AC ( Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy ). Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy often manifests with PVCs from the RV. The ECG in Figure-1 however, shows no signs of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Try a different kind of antiarrhythmic.
