Cardiac arrest in an adolescent with Uhl’s anomaly: Two unusual cardiac arrhythmia mechanisms
Introduction Uhl’s disease is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by partial or complete absence of the right ventricular free wall myocardium, which is replaced by fibroelastic and adipose tissue. Complications that result can be divided into either right ventricular dysfunction with congestive heart failure, or arrhythmias. While ventricular arrhythmias predominate, there are case...
متن کاملThe Aassociation between Pre-Cardiac Arrest Comorbidity and Unsuccessful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients with Cardiac Arrest
Background and Objective: Patients suffering from cardiac arrest (CA) have poor prognosis and survival. The association of pre-arrest comorbidity with unsuccessful resuscitation in patients with CA is far from clear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between pre-existing comorbidity and unsuccessful resuscitation following CA in Iranian patients. Materials and Met...
متن کاملAn Unusual Cardiac Anomaly: Ebstein-like Malformation
E BSTEIN’S ANOMALY, FIRST DESCRIBED in 1866, is relatively rare. It is a downward displacement of the tricuspid (right atrioventricular) valve below its annulus, dividing the right heart into a relatively large atrium and a small, at times functionless, right ventricle. The foramen ovale is usually patent and there may be other intracardiac anomalies.” We are describing a similar lesion involvi...
متن کاملAn Unusual Case of Cardiac Arrest.
The long QT syndrome is characterized by the observed association of "torsade de pointes" and the prolongation of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram. Acquired long QT syndrome typically affects older individuals, being often associated with the action of some drugs. Hypokalemia is a frequent cause of QT lengthening on the electrocardiogram. Chronic assumption of licorice may be an unusual...
متن کاملAn unusual cause for cardiac arrest.
We report a case of organophosphate poisoning presenting as a cardiac arrest. The diagnosis was delayed due to the absence of a history of insecticide ingestion and the unusually acute presentation. Cardiac arrest with bradycardia poorly responsive to adrenaline and responsive to high dose atropine should alert the clinician to the possibility of an anticholinesterase poisoning. Early diagnosis...
