Finally, do a coronary angiogram Possible alternative to pacing is to give a beta-1 agonist to increase heart rate. Because she has cardiomyopathy and ventricular dysrhythmias, the pacer included an Implanted Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) Echo 6 days later after CRT: Normal estimated left ventricular ejection fraction.

Workup including routine laboratory results, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, and coronary angiogram was non-specific. During the intravenous lacosamide infusion, the patient developed sudden cardiac arrest caused by ventricular arrhythmias necessitating resuscitation. 2893C>T, p.Arg965Cys) in the SCN5A gene.

The routine laboratory results, imaging study, coronary angiogram, and echocardiogram (ECG) were normal. For secondary prevention, the patient underwent implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation. The patient did not have underlying diseases. A type 1 BrS pattern was identified in one resting ECG.

During angiogram in the cath lab, the patient suffered two episodes of ventricular fibrillation for which he was successfully defibrillated. Angiogram showed a culprit lesion of 100% stenosis to the right coronary artery and 100% stenosis of the right posterior descending artery, both with TIMI 0 flow.

We can, therefore, put down the defibrillation pads, set aside the amiodarone, and look further at the ECG. Indeed, bedside Echocardiogram revealed severe left ventricular impairment of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The coronary angiogram revealed no critical stenosis, or acute plaque ulceration.
