All pacemaker-dependent pts (based on the presence of ventricular paced rhythm on the electrocardiogram; EKG) without atrial organized activity were chosen (absence of sinus node P waves) to verify the anticoagulation status. We then verified if the physician in charge was notified of the presence...

She returned to sinus rhythm, but one minute later had another Spike-on-T event initiating PMVT. She was successfully defibrillated with 360J. Post-shock EKG showed an asynchronous Bi-V paced rhythm at 50 bpm.#Decision Making:The patient was admitted to the CCU for post-resuscitation care...
Paced rhythmSgarbossa criteriaVentricular pacemakerScreening for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with ventricular pacemakers (VP) is a diagnostic challenge. We report a case where application of the Modified Sgarbossa criteria (mSC) would have immediately identified AMI in a patient with...
