Patients who received pacemakers for an advanced atrioventricular block or bradycardia with atrial fibrillation, baseline LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%, and echocardiogram recorded at least 6 months postimplantation were included. The paced QRS recorded immediately after implantation was analyzed.

After excluding patients with congenital or rheumatic heart disease, heart transplant recipients, or those without baseline echocardiogram, a total of 130 patients were included in the analysis. Echocardiographic data were analyzed at baseline before ablation, and at early follow-up within 1-year postablation.

Formal echocardiogram showed normal EF, no wall motion abnormalities, no pericardial effusion. She has not yet been seen by electrophysiology or had further genetic testing for Brugada syndrome. The patient proceeded to cath where all coronaries were described as normal with no evidence of any CAD, spasm, or any other abnormality.

A formal echocardiogram was completed the next day and again showed a normal ejection fraction without any focal wall motion abnormalities to suggest CAD. She has not yet been seen by electrophysiology or had further genetic testing for Brugada syndrome. The Troponin I was cycled over time and was 0.353 followed by 0.296.

An echocardiogram was done. 2 weeks Here is the final electrophysiology note: It is unclear what precipitated his motor vehicle collision. Is there also Brugada? Here is the result: The estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is 50 %. There is no left ventricular wall motion abnormality identified. Right ventricular prominence.
