Ventricular Fibrillation, ICD, LBBB, QRS of 210 ms, Positive Smith Modified Sgarbossa Criteria, and Pacemaker-Mediated Tachycardia

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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.

Leadless Pacing Wirelessly Linked to Subcutaneous Defibrillator Hits Targets for ATP

Med Page Today

(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.

VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA WITH SUCCESSFUL ATP

ECG Guru

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.

Torsade in a patient with left bundle branch block: is there a long QT? (And: Left Bundle Pacing).

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.

A multicenter analysis of implantable monitoring device-based diagnosis of supraventricular arrhythmia post patent foramen ovale closure: the OCCL-ILR study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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.

Predictors of Pace-Terminable Rhythms in Patients with Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators

HeartRhythm

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).
