ST Segment Elevation during Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) – An Enigma!
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) represents one of the most common arrhythmias in emergency cardiology. It can occur in patients of all age groups and may occur in presence or absence of heart disease including coronary artery disease. During the periods of AVNRT, it is not uncommon to see ST segment depression and T wave changes. These, generally, persist transiently in the post conversion period and do not represent ischemia. We present a unique case report of ST segment elevation in the Left anterior descending artery (LAD) territory with T wave inversion during AVNRT. Coved ST segment and T wave inversion persisted till the patient was discharged from the hospital. CT angiography of coronaries done revealed 99% block of obtuse marginal (OM) after its origin.

Unusual Presentation of Acute Myocardial Infarction
A 49 year-old-man presented to the emergency room with sudden onset palpitation of four hour duration. He also complained of retrosternal chest discomfort and giddiness. There was no history of palpitations in the past. Twelve lead ECG (Figure 1A) showed regular narrow complex tachycardia at the rate of 208/min. No clear P waves were seen. There was ST segment elevation in inferior leads and ST...
متن کاملThe mechanism of supraventricular tachycardia.
In six successive patients, none of whom had the Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, recurrent episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) were analyzed to determine the mechanism by which this arrhythmia is initiated and sustained. In each patient, simultaneous intracavitary atrial electrograms and surface electrocardiograms were recorded during the onset of numerous spontaneous episo...

The circulatory effects of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) were studied in eight patients who reported disabling symptoms during paroxysms of the arrhythmia. Supraventricular tachycardia was induced in each patient by rapid atrial pacing or with atrial premature stimuli. Hemodynamic parameters in sinus rhythm and following the initiation of SVT were recorded and compared. The following mean ...

Coronary artery spasm has been reported during adenosine stress testing. Herein, we describe a transient ST-segment elevation following adenosine therapy for supraventricular tachycardia. A 38-year-old male presented to the emergency department with palpitations. Electrocardiogram showed supraventricular tachycardia with short RP interval. Vagal maneuvers were unsuccessful. Adenosine was then a...

UNLABELLED A young man underwent 2 catheter ablation procedures because of frequent episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). A left accessory pathway was ablated in the first procedure. The patient underwent the second ablation procedure due to a recurrent SVT demonstrated by 12-lead electrocardiogram two weeks after the first procedure. During the second procedure, a SVT with...
