An Uncommon Ventricular Tachycardia due to Inactive PPM Lead
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our patient had recurrent syncope due to ventricular tachycardia (VT) after one year of VVI Pacemaker implantation. He had pacemaker pocket infection for which new pacemaker was implanted on opposite side but old lead was not explanted completely. Flouroscopy showed redundant loop of old lead in right ventricular inflow which was snared out subsequently. He never had syncope or VT after that.

Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Tachycardias
Left ventricular outflow tract tachycardia (LVOT-VT) is an uncommon type of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) thought to be due to cyclic adenosine mono phosphate (cAMP) mediated triggered activity. The arrhythmia can be terminated pharmacologically with calcium channel blockers or beta-blockers [1]. LVOT-VT can arise above or below the coronary cusps and the former variety can als...
متن کاملEllagic acid improved arrhythmias induced by CaCL2 in the rat stress model
Objective: In ventricular arrhythmias, due to their free radical scavenging action, antioxidant agents are usually used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Since stress is considered as risk factor for increased mortality by causing malignant arrhythmias, the study was designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of ellagic acid (EA) on CaCl2-induced arrhythmias in rat stress model...
