Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare malignant arrhythmia, usually diagnosed in the adolescent years. The diagnosis can typically be made by one or more of the following: a positive family history, exercise electrocardiography, ambulatory ECG monitoring and/or an intra-cardiac, electrophysiological examination. This is a case report of a patient with CPVT that ...

BACKGROUND Hypothyroidism can manifest with cardiac abnormalities, often consisting of a combination of morphologic and functional changes. Low voltage, sinus bradycardia, and slowed conduction are usually found on electrocardiography.There are few reports of occurrence of torsades de pointes as the first presentation of long QT syndrome in the course of hypothyroidism. CASE PRESENTATION In p...

INTRODUCTION The Importance of the cardiovascular effects, fundamentally the ventricular arrhythmias, produced by the antipsychotic ones, is discussed. CLINICAL CASE 28 year old patient with morbid obesity, operated by bariatric surgery, with good result, suffers a ventricular no supported polymorphic tachycardia while he was heightening treatment with aripiprazole and fluoxetine. CONCLUSIO...

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...
