While on telemetry monitoring he suffered cardiac arrest and was resuscitated. What ECG finding may have contributed to (or precipitated) the cardiac arrest? After resuscitation and defibrillation , there were no more episodes of TdP. Below is the patient’s 12 lead ECG following defibrillation.

Background:Most out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who are initially treated with an automated external defibrillator (AED) and present in a non-shockable rhythm never receive a shock. The AEDs were the first defibrillator on scene either in home, in public access or by a BLS team.

If VT is not treated, it can lead to cardiac arrest, which is when the heart stops beating.

Cardiomyopathy Cardiomyopathy is a condition that affects the heart muscle, causing it to become enlarged, thick, or rigid. This condition often leads to heart failure, as the heart cannot effectively pump blood. Beta-blockers , which slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure. Anticoagulants to prevent blood clots.

Study author Hannah Keage (University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia) said: "The implantable defibrillator (ICD) is very good at prolonging a patient's life, but we need to make sure it is a good quality of life”. An ICD is recommended for people at high risk for life-threatening heart rhythms and those in cardiac arrest.
