A Case of Transient ST Elevation and Polymorphic Tachycardia without Angina Diagnosed by Holter Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 intervention with successful placement of a stent to the mid-right coronary artery. The patient has been followed closely over a period of 12 months. There haven't been any recorded episodes of tachycardia, and the patient has remained symptom-free.

Polymorphic 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...

We report the case of a 60-year-old male with recurrent pre-syncope, referred with a provisional diagnosis of carotid sinus syndrome on the basis of a 4 s asystolic pause following carotid sinus massage. On repeat Holter monitoring there was ST-segment elevation followed by episodes of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia during a mild episode of pre-syncope. Coronary angiography showed mild rig...

UNLABELLED Variant angina presenting acute chest pain and ST elevation on electrocardiogram accounts for an underdiagnosed scenario in acute coronary syndrome and contributes to syncope as a consequence of ventricular arrhythmia. Here, we report a case of a 48-year-old man with a recent onset of chest pain and palpitations followed by syncope. Holter monitoring documented 2 episodes of evolving...

A 68-year-old man was admitted for a syncope workup. After routine evaluation, he was diagnosed with syncope of an unknown cause and was discharged from the hospital. He was readmitted due to dizziness. On repeated Holter monitoring, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia was detected during syncope. We performed intracoronary ergonovine provocation test; severe coronary spasm was induced at 70% s...
متن کاملTransient sympathovagal imbalance triggers "ischemic" sudden death in patients undergoing electrocardiographic Holter monitoring.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between "ischemic" sudden death (arrhythmic death preceded by ST segment shift) and autonomic nervous system activity. Background. Mechanisms precipitating sudden death are poorly known despite the importance of detecting functional factors that may contribute to such a fatal event. METHODS We analyzed the tapes of eight patient...
