A new or presumably new left bundle branch block along with ischemic symptoms has traditionally been considered an electrocardiographic equivalent of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, which should be brought to emergent reperfusion. However, several criteria have been proposed for its definition, but none has reached out an optimal diagnostic yield. Below we detail these criteria, their main problems and the advantages they have shown.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Presenting With VT Electrical Storm.
J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a right ventricular disease caused by desmosomal gene mutations leading to fibro-fatty replacement of the myocardium causing ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT). A 59-year-old female presented with new onset VT manifesting as shortness of breath and chest discomfort. Diagnostic workup revealed right ventricular dilation/dysfunction on echocardiogram, VT with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and diffuse T wave inversions (TWIs) on EKG.

Background: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by fibrofatty replacement of ventricular myocardium. Ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are the main clinical manifestations. ACM was previously called arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D).

How to correct QT interval after cardiac resynchronisation therapy.

Introduction: This study evaluates various formulae used to correct the QT interval in patients with wide QRS complexes to calculate corrected QT (QTc) following Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT).
Methods: We included patients with severe heart failure and left bundle branch block, presenting with a QRS duration of at least 120 milliseconds, who underwent successful CRT implantation. Patients were excluded if they had non-lateral left ventricular lead placement, metabolic disorders, atrial fibrillation, atrial tachycardia, or high-degree atrioventricular block prior to implantation.
