Pseudo-polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia in a 12-lead Holter Recording
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an image of pseudo-polymorphic ventricular tachycardia recording on a 12-lead surface ECG Holter. Although at first glance the appearance of the recording resembled polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, careful investigation revealed normal electrocardiographic findings.

Diagnostic challenge of artifactual electrocardiographic tachyarrhythmias.
Electrocardiographic artifacts may generate recordings mimicking supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. This report describes the diagnostic challenge presented by Holter or loop recordings in two patients, one with pseudo-atrial flutter and the other with pseudo- -polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
متن کاملA Case of Transient ST Elevation and Polymorphic Tachycardia without Angina Diagnosed by Holter Monitoring
We report the case of 52-year-old female with recurrent episodes of palpitations and dizziness. Holter monitoring revealed transient ST elevations followed by episodes of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia associated with episodes of palpitations and dizziness. Coronary angiography revealed mildly irregular right coronary artery with 90% stenosis. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary in...
متن کاملPolymorphic ventricular tachycardia due to variant angina diagnosed on Holter monitoring and confirmed with cold pressor test.
A 52-year-old man complaining of persistent recurring chest pain at night underwent coronary angiogram at another institution. Normal coronaries were observed and he was discharged with muscle spasmolytic prescription. Since symptoms had continued, 24-hour Holter monitoring was ordered at our facility and results revealed huge ST elevation and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Cold pressor t...
متن کاملSuspicion of myocarditis in a patient with mitral valve prolapse.
452 markers were within the reference ranges. Base‐ line electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sinus rhythm with frequent ventricular extrasystoles and episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachy‐ cardia, without any conduction disorder. Flat T waves in the inferior leads (III, aVF) were pres‐ ent (FIGURE 1A). A 24 ‐hour ECG recording showed a sinus rhythm of 62 bpm with frequent episodes of polymorphi...
متن کاملPolymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Due to Acute Coronary Ischemia: A Case Report
Acute myocardial ischemia can cause ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with structurally normal heart. Contrary to the fact that in patients with chronic myocardial scarring the ventricular tachycardia is monomorphic, in patients with acute ischemia the ventricular tachycardia is polymorphic and is reversible with coronary revascularization.We are reporting a 40 year old male who presente...
