Case #507-AliReza Farzaei

History:

A male patient aged 68 years, with a non-recorded history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), arrived at the emergency department complaining of chest pain that had begun a few hours prior. Following an ECG recording, a sudden cardiac arrest occurred, prompting immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) initiation involving chest compressions. The patient was immediately monitored and found to have ventricular fibrillation (VF) rhythm and a (DC) shock of 200 joules was administered, resulting in the restoration of sinus rhythm.

 

Question:

Based on the (ECG) obtained prior to the occurrence of cardiac arrest, and which is presented below, what would be the most appropriate course of action?

Case #585-Samane Mohamadi

History:

A 72-year-old male with a history of CABG 10 years ago and PPM-DR implantation last year due to CHB presented to the ER with a chief complaint of fatigue and dizziness persisting for the past month. Bedside echocardiography revealed an ejection fraction (EF) of 30-35%, moderate mitral regurgitation (MR), and no pericardial effusion.

Question:

Based on the ECG findings, what underlying condition or situation could be LESS responsible for these symptoms?

History:

A 45 y/o lady underwent RF ablation for a focal Ventricular Tachycardia. A tracing is shown.

Case #636-Shayan Shahi

History:

A 27-year-old gentleman with a known case of Tetralogy of Fallot with a history of VSD repair, PVR, and dual chamber ICD implantation due to VT 3 years ago came to our clinic with the chief complaint of frequent episodes of shock during the last 2 months.

Question:

What is the most probable diagnosis?

History:

A 40-year-old man complained of shortness of breath and orthopnea during the last week. He had no usual cardiovascular risk factors, no history of medication, supplement, or drug use, and no history of recent viral infection.

The patient's appearance is significantly different from other family members (e.g. he is taller than his brothers.)

In the electrocardiogram, sinus tachycardia was seen.

In the echocardiography, EF=20% was reported and there was no evidence of LVH.

In the coronary angiography, there were no coronary lesions.

Question:

Based on his physical appearance, Which finding of the patient seems incorrect?

Case #663-Samane Mohamadi

History:

A middle-aged man with a history of accessory pathway ablation came to our clinic with chief complaint of recurrent palpitations.
(ECG:1-2)
He was scheduled for EP study, and the accessory pathway was successfully ablated.
The day after, he was complaining of pleuritic chest pain.(ECG :3)

Bedside echo revealed mild pericardial effusion.

Question:

Case #719-Siroos Nasiri

History:

A 58-year-old male with a history of AVR, underwent implantation of a dual-chamber pacemaker from the right side of the chest. At the time of implantation, before leads screwing (Attachment of Leads to Device header) and placing the pacemaker in the pocket , the atrial lead impedance was 650 ohms. After placing the pacemaker in the pocket, suturing, and dressing the wound, reprogramming was performed. This time, the atrial lead impedance was 1750 ohms. Chest X-rays of the patient during implantation and after implantation are available.

Question:
