There were no dysrhythmias on cardiac monitor during observation. This discussion comes from this previous post: Hyperthermia and ST Elevation Discussion Brugada Type 1 ECG changes are associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) and the occurrence of ventricular dysrhythmias. He was found to be influenza positive. Is there fever again?

If there is polymorphic VT with a long QT on the baseline ECG, then generally we call that Torsades, but Non-Torsades Polymorphic VT can result from ischemia alone. Could the dysrhythmias have been prevented? Severe hypokalemia in the setting of STEMI or dysrhythmias is life-threatening and needs very rapid treatment.

Admission and referral to electrophysiology is always indicated. NOTE #3: In the context of a long QTc or ischemia — the finding of ST segment and/or T wave alternans may predict the occurrence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. In this case, it was able to conduct at a rate of 257 (down the AV node, then up the bypass tract) 6.
