Infant ventricular fibrillation after ST-segment changes and QRS widening: a new cause of sudden infant death?
BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmia-related sudden cardiac arrest in infants with structurally normal hearts is rare. There have been no previously published reports of infants <3 months of age with ventricular fibrillation in which a primary diagnosis could not be defined. METHODS AND RESULTS Retrospective chart review of 3 unrelated infants <2 months of age from 3 different tertiary care cent...
متن کاملST-segment elevation and ventricular fibrillation shortly after transseptal puncture for left atrial catheter ablation
A 47-year-old man with drug-resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation underwent left atrial (LA) catheter ablation. After sheaths were inserted into the LA using the Brockenbrough method, he complained of angina and developed ST-segment elevation in the II, III, aVF, V5, and V6 leads. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) occurred followed by ventricular tachycardia. The VF was successfully treated with...
متن کاملVentricular fibrillation occurring two hours after successful angioplasty in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.
Rev Esp Cardiol. 2009;62(9):1068-81 1069 these patients is complex. The hypoxaemia does not respond to increases in positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) which has even been related to the shunt increase.4 Also, patient maladjustment during weaning which involves a manoeuvre similar to that of Valsalva increases the shunt and consequently the hypoxaemia, which hinders extubation.3 In our pati...
متن کاملSummation and Cancellation Effects on QRS and ST-Segment Changes Induced by Simultaneous Regional Myocardial Ischemia
Simultaneous ischemia in two myocardial regions is a potentially lethal clinical condition often unrecognized whose corresponding electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns have not yet been characterized. Thus, this study aimed to determine the QRS complex and ST-segment changes induced by concurrent ischemia in different myocardial regions elicited by combined double occlusion of the three main coro...
متن کاملTransient and rapid QRS widening associated with J - wave pattern predicts impending ventricular fibrillation in experimental myocardial infarction
Background: Certain types of the early repolarization (ER) phenomenon, previously considered to be benign, have been reported to be associated with ventricular fibrillation (VF), both in population-based studies and in the myocardial infarction (MI) settings. Objective: Our aim was to analyse whether QRS widening and appearance of Jwave-pattern in experimental MI settings is predictive of VF. M...
