Explanation: Shown electrocardiogram suggests left ventricular hypertrophy. It is crucial for every medical physician to recognize patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac death due to their underlying medical condition. Shown electrocardiogram suggests left ventricular hypertrophy. Start with a Free Trial.

Background:In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), hyperglycemia and glycemic variability lead to prolongation and greater heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization, manifested on the electrocardiogram through an increase in QT, QTc, TpeakTend (TpTe) intervals and the TpTe/QT ratio, increasing the risk of potentially malignant arrhythmias.

Since its identification in 1981 its diagnosis has increased due to the advancements in cardiac imaging. It’s association with ventricular arrythmia (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) underscores the importance of its identification. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sustained monomorphic VT at a rate of 160 bpm.

Before the procedure, patients should have an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to check the heart’s rhythm and function. We can also use intracardiac echocardiography to guide and facilitate the procedure with real-time visualisation of the cardiac structures being treated.”
