Atrial fibrillation is also a predictor of worse outcomes in this case (Alborzi). See these publications for more information Overall, management for cardiac contusion is mostly supportive unless surgical complications develop, involving appropriate treatment of dysrhythmias and hemodynamic instability.

No patient with a QRS of less than 160 ms had ventricular dysrhythmias. Blockade of cardiac fast sodium channels (leads to wide QRS, R-wave in aVR, R' wave in V1, Brugada pattern ECG, ventricular dysrhythmias.) Exaggeration of therapeutic effect of inhibiting central norepinephrine re-uptake (increase risk of seizures) Outcome.

Blunt cardiac injury my result in : 1) Acute myocardial rupture with tamponade 2) Valve rupture (tricuspid, aortic, mitral) 3) Coronary thrombosis or dissection (and thus Acute MI) from direct coronary blunt injury 4) Dysrhythmias of all kinds. If it had been, could this outcome have been anticipated? And, then, so what?

Here the full text of the article: Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm: History and Chronology of the Main Discoveries Hope that helps! : ) Ken Case Outcome: The patient had never had any cardiopulmonary complaints, was otherwise completely healthy. He was admitted overnight and had no complications. What is it? What is the rhythm?

Long-term outcome is unknown. Likewise, in some cases of ischemia concealed by flutter waves, the ischemia can be seen despite the flutter waves, whereas in other cases the dysrhythmia must be terminated before the ischemia can be clearly distinguished. There was again no intracranial hemorrhage. Serial troponins were negative.

There was a good outcome. I also believe that we physicians and medics are eager to treat dysrhythmias, and we want to see them even when they are not there. This would treat both SVT or sinus tachycardia. However, the heart rate gradually fell to 120 with fluids and was proven to be sinus tachycardia. Tadjziechy, M.

Now you have ECG and troponin evidence of ischemia, AND ventricular dysrhythmia, which means this is NOT a stable ACS. Although by the time you are reading My Comment, you already know the outcome in this case — GO BACK and Take Another Look at the initial ECG @ Time = 0:00 ( TOP tracing in Figure-1 ).
