IntroductionFocal atrial tachycardia (FAT) is predominant in the pediatric population. A 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed a narrow QRS complex tachycardia with a rate of 157 beats per minute and a prolonged RP relationship. Echocardiography indicated a severely reduced ejection fraction of 22%.

Here is the transesophageal echo (TEE) at the same time as this 2nd ECG: Excellent LV Function. I have had many cases of severe Hyperkalemia with wide complex that show good cardiac function. A middle aged man with unwitnessed cardiac arrest Severe shock, obtunded, and a diagnostic prehospital ECG. How would you treat?

Cardiac Glycosides WHAT THEY DO : Cardiac glycosides improve cardiac function in children with CHD. They act by controlling numerous functions of the cardiovascular system, including to help slow down the heartbeat and increase the strength of each contraction.

After carefully extracting and purifying cardiac spheroids (three-dimensional clusters of cardiac cells) from the cultures, they injected approximately 6 × 107 cells into the damaged hearts of crab-eating macaques (Macaca fascicularis). First, the team verified the correct reprogramming of HiPSCs into cardiomyocytes.

Cardiac function is poor, with akinesis of the LAD territory. This progressed to electrical storm , with incessant PolyMorphic Ventricular Tachycardia ( PMVT ) and recurrent episodes of Ventricular Fibrillation ( VFib ). The echo images below were obtained on the day of presentation after PCI.

TiCM is defined as the presence of a reversible form of LV dysfunction due solely to an increase in ventricular rate from any type of frequent or sustained tachycardia ( rapid AFib being the most common precipitating rhythm but TiCM has also been shown to arise from AFlutter, reentry SVT rhythms, ATach, frequent PVCs, episodes of VT ).
