Polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia triggered by temporary epicardial right ventricular stimulation after cardiac surgery
Resumen: Temporary epicardial pacing is commonly used for rhythmic support in the acute postoperative period after cardiac surgery. Clinical studies suggest that pacing in the left ventricular epicardium during resynchronization therapy may be proarrhythmic in a minority of patients. The epicardial pacing increases transmural heterogeneity of repolarization. This could prolong the QT and JT intervals on the electrocardiogram (ECG), with subsequent proarrhythmic effects. The following case describes polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias after temporary epicardial ventricular stimulation.
