The simple reason could be we can address the ischemia a potential arrhythmic target by some form of revascularization in IDCM. Bardy GH, Lee KL, Mark DB, Poole JE, Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial (SCD-HeFT) Investigators. The second reason is, NDCM is a progressive primary muscle disease. Reference 1.

Otherwise, no admission of CAD, HLD, or family history of sudden cardiac death. Accurate identification is absolutely necessary as this pattern can be easily misinterpreted for something less nefarious: for example, generic “subendocardial ischemia.”

RCA ischemia often results in sinus bradycardia from vagal reflex or ischemia of the sinus node. He has a history of sudden cardiac death in his family. A narrow complex bradycardia without any P-waves is also likely to respond to atropine, as it may be a junctional rhythm. His troponin I peaked at 6.107 ng/mL.

Relationship between Ischemia and arrhythmia While the relationship between Ischemia and VT is really complex, the term “Ischemic VT” itself adds more twists. Even here, it is the associated factors, like hypoxia or acidosis are the triggers which of course are resultant of Ischemia. Reference 1. doi: 10.1161/CIRCEP.117.006120.
