Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and repolarization abnormalities accompanying intracerebral hemorrhage.
A70-year-old patient with no apparent heart disease was admitted after a motor-vehicle accident and had right hemispheric intracerebral hemorrhage with compression over the lateral ventricle (Figure 1). The patient was admitted to an intensive care unit, where an ECG was taken. ECG repolarization abnormalities were followed by repeated runs of nonsustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (t...
متن کاملElectrophysiology: Ventricular tachycardia: diagnosis of broad QRS complex tachycardia.
having a broad QRS complex, it is important to be able to diVerentiate between a supraventricular and a ventricular tachycardia. Medication given for the treatment of a supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) may be harmful to a patient with a ventricular tachycardia (VT). 2 A reasonable haemodynamic condition during a tachycardia may erroneously lead to the wrong diagnosis of SVT. Familiarity with ...
