266.2 📚 國考版

266.2.0.1 必背 — 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 必背 — 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 必背 — 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 必背 — 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 必背 — Pulseless VT / VF

  • Immediate defibrillation (200 J biphasic)
  • CPR + epinephrine + amiodarone 300 mg IV bolus

266.2.0.6 必背 — 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 必背 — Long QT Drugs (Common)

  • Antiarrhythmics (Ia, III)
  • Macrolides + FQ
  • Antifungals (fluconazole, voriconazole)
  • Antipsychotics (haloperidol, clozapine)
  • Antidepressants (TCAs, citalopram)
  • Methadone, Ondansetron

266.2.0.8 必背 — 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

266.2.0.9 必背 — Wide-Complex Tachycardia Differential

  • Favors VT: older, structural heart disease, AV dissociation, capture/fusion beats, QRS > 140 ms, concordant precordial, NW axis
  • Use Brugada algorithm or treat as VT if uncertain

266.2.0.10 必背 — VT vs SVT with Aberrancy

  • Treat as VT if uncertain (safety)
  • Procainamide IV preferred for stable wide-complex tachycardia
  • Synchronized cardioversion if unstable
