A patient had a cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation and was successfully defibrillated. Lemkes JS, Janssens GN, van der Hoeven NW, et al. We at Hennepin recently published this study Sharma et al. Figure-1: I've labeled the initial ECG in today's case ( recorded after successful defibrillation ). 5% vs. 58%!!

. == MY Comment , by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 5/30 /2024 ): == I was not taught about artifact in medical school. But artifact is "alive and well" — and learning to recognize it will amaze many of your colleagues ( and may serve to avoid an unnecessary defibrillation or two ). The May 18, 2024 post — re the effect of baseline artifact.

He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours. This time, the arrhythmia did not spontaneously terminate — but rather degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation. Some episodes of PMVT would terminate spontaneously — but on many occasions, the PMVT degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation.

After resuscitation and defibrillation , there were no more episodes of TdP. Below is the patient’s 12 lead ECG following defibrillation. Most Torsades is the result of a pause-dependent effect that predisposes to development of the malignant arrhythmia ( Dohadwala et al — Heart Rhythm Case Rep 3(2):115-119, 2017 ).
