266.2 ð åèç
266.2.0.1 å¿ è â Spectrum
- PVCs: ectopic beats; benign usually; ablation if symptomatic/frequent + LV dysfunction
- NSVT: ⥠3 beats < 30 sec
- Sustained VT: > 30 sec or hemodynamic compromise; monomorphic vs polymorphic
- VF: chaotic, no organized complexes
- Torsades de pointes: polymorphic VT with QT prolongation
266.2.0.2 å¿ è â Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD)
- ~ 50% of cardiovascular deaths globally
- ~ 7-9 million deaths/yr
- Causes: ischemia (60-80%) > structural > channelopathy > others
266.2.0.3 å¿ è â ICD Primary Prevention Indications
- HFrEF EF †35% + NYHA II-III on optimal Tx ⥠3 months
- HCM with risk factors (family SCD, syncope, NSVT, LVH ⥠30 mm, abnormal BP exercise, LGE)
- LQTS with recurrent syncope despite β-blocker
- Brugada + cardiac arrest / syncope
- CPVT + recurrent VT despite β-blocker
- ARVC + high-risk features
266.2.0.4 å¿ è â Acute Sustained VT Management
- Stable: procainamide IV (PROCAMIO trial), amiodarone IV, lidocaine IV
- Unstable: synchronized cardioversion (100-200 J)
- Refractory: catheter ablation, ECMO bridge
266.2.0.5 å¿ è â Pulseless VT / VF
- Immediate defibrillation (200 J biphasic)
- CPR + epinephrine + amiodarone 300 mg IV bolus
266.2.0.6 å¿ è â Torsades de Pointes
- Magnesium 2 g IV first-line
- Correct K + Mg + Ca
- Stop offending drugs
- Isoproterenol or pacing for bradycardia-related
- Defibrillation if sustained
266.2.0.7 å¿ è â Long QT Drugs (Common)
- Antiarrhythmics (Ia, III)
- Macrolides + FQ
- Antifungals (fluconazole, voriconazole)
- Antipsychotics (haloperidol, clozapine)
- Antidepressants (TCAs, citalopram)
- Methadone, Ondansetron
266.2.0.8 å¿ è â Channelopathies + Inherited Syndromes
| Syndrome | Mutation | Trigger | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| LQT1 | KCNQ1 | Exercise | β-blocker |
| LQT2 | KCNH2 | Startle / loud noise | β-blocker |
| LQT3 | SCN5A | Sleep / rest | β-blocker + mexiletine (some) |
| Brugada | SCN5A | Fever, drugs (Na+ channel blockers) | ICD + quinidine for storm |
| CPVT | RYR2 | Exercise / catecholamines | β-blocker + flecainide; left cardiac sympathetic denervation for refractory |
| ARVC | Plakophilin-2, desmoplakin | Exercise | ICD + exercise restriction |
