Peeling off the Mask: Pseudo Myocardial Infarction Pattern on Electrocardiogram During AICD Implantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lead induced transient right bundle branch block is not uncommon during pacemaker implantation. We describe a patient with old anterior wall myocardial infarction with severe left ventricular dysfunction presenting with recurrent ventricular tachycardia who developed transient right bundle branch block and pseudomyocardial infacrction pattern during AICD implantation.

Antiarrhythmic management and implantable defibrillator use in survivors of prehospital cardiac arrest without myocardial infarction in West Yorkshire.
OBJECTIVE To explore the current use of secondary preventive treatment in survivors of out of hospital cardiac arrest without myocardial infarction (primary ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF)) in West Yorkshire, and assess the implications of recent studies on the benefits of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (AICD) in this context. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of...

Myocardial infarction sequel of coronary artery diseases, can be sometimes asymptomatic, called silent myocardial infarction. Some risk factors predispose the patients to this condition. In this study, we intend to determine the predisposing factors in such patients.Methods and Materials: We included those patients with electrocardiogram changes, consistent with myocardial infarction, who had n...
متن کاملAutomatic implantable cardioverter/defibrillator discharges and acute myocardial injury.
Multiple defibrillations by the automatic implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (AICD) have been reported to result in localized epicardial damage. No data exist, however, regarding whether this damage can be detected in the clinical setting or whether it interferes with the detection of true myocardial infarction. Forty-nine patients who received defibrillations by patch electrodes were studi...

Objective: This study aimed to determine the association of cardiac risk factors and the risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in Emergency Department (ED) patients with non-diagnostic ECG changes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the ED of Imam Hossein Hospital during a period of one year. In this study, patients with symptoms s...
متن کاملHyperkalemia masked by pseudo-stemi infarct pattern and cardiac arrest
BACKGROUND Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte abnormality and has well-recognized early electrocardiographic manifestations including PR prolongation and symmetric T wave peaking. With severe increase in serum potassium, dysrhythmias and atrioventricular and bundle branch blocks can be seen on electrocardiogram. Although cardiac arrest is a worrisome consequence of untreated hyperkalemia, rar...
