Early Repolarization Syndrome

Malignant early repolarization as cause of sudden death has taken on great importance in recent years. It has been described as an entity capable of producing ventricular arrhythmic events, causing from episodes of syncope to sudden cardiac death. Ventricular fibrillation is the typical arrhythmia in these patients, with no clear relationship to date with idiopathic monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. Electrocardiographic markers related to the development of arrhythmic events in early repolarization syndrome have been described. They seem not only related to the development of ventricular fibrillation, but also to sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, as is the case described in the article.

Multiple Episodes

Although temporary transvenous pacing is life-saving in patients with myocardial infarction who develop bradyarrhythmias, the electrical complications resulting from it can be fatal and are rarely reported. We report here a patient with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction who required temporary transvenous pacing due to second-degree atrioventricular block accompanied with hypotension. Following coronary angiography and successful revascularisation, the patient developed multiple episodes of monomorphic and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia as well as ventricular fibrillation which on careful inspection were found to be initiated by fusion of the intrinsic and paced complexes. The problem of malignant ventricular tachycardia was solved by simple removal of the pacing lead. To the best of our knowledge, malignant ventricular tachycardia of both monomorphic and polymorphic types initiated by fusion complexes in a paced patient has not been reported in literature.
