See this post: How a pause can cause cardiac arrest 2. Finally, do a coronary angiogram Possible alternative to pacing is to give a beta-1 agonist to increase heart rate. In this specific case, Left Bundle Branch (LBB) area pacing was pursued to achieve cardiac resynchronization. Place temporary pacemaker 3.

During the intravenous lacosamide infusion, the patient developed sudden cardiac arrest caused by ventricular arrhythmias necessitating resuscitation. Of note, the patient had a family history of sudden cardiac death.

Initial evaluation showed elevated cardiac enzymes (CE) and normal eosinophil count. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed an ejection fraction (EF) of 40% and a moderate-large pericardial effusion with signs of tamponade. A repeat coronary angiogram was unremarkable. Electrocardiogram (EKG) was unremarkable.

It’s judicious, then, to arrange for coronary angiogram. Coronary occlusion, however, might be present concurrently with subendocardial ischemia on the time-zero ECG, or evolve into such. Proximal LAD disease with/without a) and b) It seemed quite apparent that this was an Acute Coronary Syndrome. Coronary Angiogram 1.

See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case? We investigated the incidence of an acutely occluded coronary in patients presenting with STE-aVR with multi-lead ST depression. All electrocardiograms (ECGs) and coronary angiograms were blindly analyzed by experienced cardiologists.
