A 79-year-old woman who underwent catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation presented with Torsades de Pointes (TdP). Aggravation of prolonged QT interval which is most likely due to neural modulation by catheter ablation, played major role in the initiation of TdP. The patient was successfully treated with isoproterenol during acute stage and discharged after stabilization without implantation of permanent pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
一名79岁接受阵发性心房颤动导管消融术的女性出现尖端扭转型室速(TdP)。QT间期延长加重,极有可能是由导管消融的神经调节作用所致,这在TdP的发作中起主要作用。急性期患者使用异丙肾上腺素成功治疗,病情稳定后出院,未植入永久性起搏器或植入式心脏复律除颤器。
