Ventricular Tachycardia Management

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Chronic recurrent monomorphic VT like fascicular tachycardia and right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia are also amenable to electrophysiological mapping and ablation. Recurrent ventricular tachycardia in spite of radiofrequency catheter ablation needs an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

Hyperthermia and ST Elevation

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

She has not yet been seen by electrophysiology or had further genetic testing for Brugada syndrome. As for our patient, on discharge, her EKG had completed returned to her baseline morphology and she has been doing well in follow-up.

A young F is hyperthermic, delirious, and dry: Fever-induced Brugada? Diphenhydramine toxicity? Tricyclic?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Regardless of further evaluation, she should avoid bradycardia, AV nodal blockers, Na channel blockers, and fevers. --If A score including ECG pattern, early familial SCD antecedents, inducible electrophysiological study, presentation as syncope or as aborted SCD and SND had a predictive performance of 0.82.

Rates of and Indications for Subcutaneous ICD Extraction: A Multihospital Healthcare System Analysis

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is an alternative to a transvenous ICD in patients who meet the criteria for ICD implantation without concurrent need for cardiac pacing. The objective of this study is to examine the rates of and indications for S-ICD removal and extraction.
