Background: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a potentially lethal disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation, thus making the diagnosis hard to depict. In cases where acute circulatory failure occurs venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is a valid management strategy, especially in the pediatric and adult patients. This study aims to report the results of VA ECMO for FM in our Institution.

Background: Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) implantation is essential in treating cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders, especially in patients with heart failure. Although PPM has been proven to improve quality of life and prolong life expectancy in patients with cardiac conduction disorders, post implantation complications still often occur.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify types of complications and associated predictors in patients undergoing PPM implantation.

We report the case of a 29-year-old male soldier with a time in service above 10 years, found to have asymptomatic long QT syndrome (LQTS), a condition associated with increased risk of potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias, during a flight physical. A review of his past medical history revealed a transient QT prolongation during an episode of hypoglycemia due to endogenous hyperinsulinism caused by an insulinoma, as an infantryman 7 years earlier; the resolution of the QT prolongation was spontaneous. He was evaluated and considered fit for duty by cardiology.
