He was defibrillated, but they also noticed that he was being internally defibrillated and then found that he had an implantable ICD. He was unidentified and there were no records available After 7 shocks, he was successfully defibrillated and brought to the ED. Tachycardia exaggerates ST Elevation in LBBB and Paced rhythm 5.
(MedPage Today) -- BOSTON -- A leadless pacemaker reliably communicated with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) to deliver anti-tachycardia (ATP) and bradycardia pacing, the MODULAR ATP study showed. In terms of safety.
If ventricular tachycardia occurs in an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) wearer, the ICD can combat this with 2 different forms of therapy, provided these are activated (which can be done using a programming device). First, the ICD attempts to override the tachycardia. The fastest pacemaker gets control of the heart.

Place temporary pacemaker 3. 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. Even with tachycardia and a paced QRS duration of ~0.16 No wall motion abnormality.
Primary endpoint was the incidence of patients with new onset supraventricular arrhythmia (AF, atrial flutter or any supraventricular tachycardia) lasting >30s, post PFO closure.ResultsA total of 59 patients met the inclusion criteria.
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICD) are a safe and effective alternative to transvenous ICDs for patients at risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias.1 1 A major limitation of an S-ICD is its inability to deliver anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) for monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MMVT).
Shortly after isoprenalin infusion was initiated, there were short runs of ventricular tachycardia. Isoprenalin was discontinued, and a temporary transveous pacemaker was implanted. The patient stabilized following pacemaker placement. She was given CRT-D (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Defibrillator).
Short-long-short (S-L-S) electrocardiographic cycle length patterns are associated with incidence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). It is also recognised that pacemakers can facilitate these cycle length sequences, and that the observation of these sequences can predict future VT/VF events.
Many patients with mild to moderately reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) that require permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation do not have a concurrent indication for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy. However, the risk of ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) in this population is unknown.
If ventricular tachycardia occurs in an ICD wearer, the ICD can combat this with 2 different forms of therapy, provided these are activated (which can be done using a programming device). First, the ICD attempts to overstimulate the tachycardia. If this is not successful, the defibrillator function is used.
This can initiate ventricular arrhythmias like polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT). She was externally defibrillated with 200J and received magnesium and an IV amiodarone bolus. She was successfully defibrillated with 360J. Telemetry showed Spike-on-T phenomenon which initiated PMVT.
She was successfully revived after several rounds of ACLS including defibrillation and amiodarone. An Initial ECG was performed: Initial ECG: Sinus tachycardia with prolonged QT interval (QTc of 534 ms by Bazett). In particular — QRS alternans during narrow SVT rhythms has been associated with reentry tachycardias.
This progressed to electrical storm , with incessant PolyMorphic Ventricular Tachycardia ( PMVT ) and recurrent episodes of Ventricular Fibrillation ( VFib ). He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours. An ICD ( Implantable Cardioverter Defibrilator ) was placed prior to discharge. What do you think?
Among these were sinus node dysfunction in 14 patients (1.8%), AVB in 41 (5.2%), supraventricular tachycardia in 42 (5.3%), and ventricular tachycardia in 2 (0.3%). Subsequently, 8 patients underwent pacemaker implantation, 1 for sinus node dysfunction (post‐AF conversion pause of 9 seconds) and 7 for advanced AVB.
CRT is a type of pacemaker in which three chambers of the heart are paced, right atrium, right ventricle and left ventricle. The timing of the stimuli given by the pacemaker is adjusted to produce synchrony of contractions of the left ventricle. This picture illustrates what reduced ejection fraction means.
Arrhythmias : A leadless pacemaker-defibrillator system provides antitachycardia pacing for ventricular tachycardia in patients with subcutaneous ICDs. Coronary Heart Disease : Initiate beta-blockers in patients with acute MI and normal LVEF unless contraindicated or if they have heart failure.
Thrombus can sometimes occur when there is a central venous catheter or a multiple pacemaker or defibrillator leads there that can cause thrombus formation. One is ventricular tachycardia with regular retrograde activation. Especially, in patients with rheumatic fever, PR interval is prolonged and there is sinus tachycardia.
She was never defibrillated. Therefore, she underwent temporary pacemaker placement and overdrive pacing at a rate of 90 bpm to keep the heart rate up in order to prevent these PVCs triggering ventricular arrhythmia. As was seen in this case — defibrillation and/or overdrive pacing may be needed. What do you think?
The abnormal heart rhythms can further lead to death because of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. These issues can only be addressed in an ICCU (Intensive Coronary Care Unit) setting, where temporary pacemakers and defibrillators are available.
How does a pacemaker accomplish RBBB morphology? This is the shock coil and identifies this device as a defibrillator. Quick aside on device terminology (feel free to skip): A "single chamber" pacemaker is a device with only one lead. A "dual chamber" pacemaker is a device with an atrial lead and a ventricular lead.
2:34 PM, following right heart catheterization She then went into atrial fibrillation with complete heart block and junctional escape rhythm prompting placement of transvenous pacemaker. Several 200 J shocks did not terminate the VF, so a second defibrillator was applied for double sequential defibrillation with 400 J.
