Article Synopsis
- Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) is a slow ventricular arrhythmia often seen in conditions like coronary artery disease and usually doesn't require specific treatment.
- A case was reported of a 76-year-old man who developed AIVR after cardiac surgery due to hypothermia, leading to temporary hemodynamic instability, despite good initial recovery.
- The patient was successfully treated by warming him up to 35ºC, after which his heart rhythm returned to normal, emphasizing the importance of addressing hypothermia to prevent arrhythmias post-surgery.
