Uncategorized Biventricular Pacemaker NON-COMPACTION, CHF PRE AND POST BIVENTRICULAR PACEMAKER PLACEMENT74-year-old female presents in CHF and an echo showing reduced EF (35%) and non-compaction.Initial CXR shows findings consistent with interstitial edema, (redistribution, fuzzy borders of the vessels and descending RPA) Kerley B lines, and left atrial enlargement.Volume measurements showed an end diastolic volume of 217 mls, an end systolic volume of 159ccs, a stroke volume of 58ccs with a resulting ejection fraction of 26%.Following placement of biventricular pacemaker CXR showed resolution of the heart failure, but persistence of the LAE.Ashley Davidoff MD Sarcoidosis and VT HEART FAILURE AND VT EPISODE REQUIRING CARDIOVERSION57-year-old male with pathology findings consistent with granulomatous hepatitis and non-necrotizing granulomas in inguinal lymph nodes both consistent with sarcoidosis but without pulmonary findings. Lymphadenopathy is also present in the axillae and groins without involvement of the mediastinum? Associated cardiovascular findings include findings consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with:o Diabetes and Hypertensiono CXR showing LVEo Abnormal stress test with concerning regions in RCA territory inferiorlyo Moderate LVH on echo with normal EF (68%) normal LA, RA PAP and RV function. LV mass was 127g/sq. mo Focal nodular LGE in the anterior apical region in mid myocardial/subendocardial region and in the inferior mid myocardial wall mediallyo Subsequently developed episodes of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia with EP ablation and placement of a defibrillator (ICD)o LH and RH catheterization performed 6 years after initial studies showed elevation of PC WP of 25 mmHg, mean RA pressure of 16 mmHg, mean PAP of 34 mmHg no CADo Subsequent CT showed mildly enlarged LA and RA with mild TRo 6 years after initial presentation he had symptoms of biventricular failure with increasing dyspnea and pedal edema culminating in an acute episode of monomorphic VT episode, ectopic atrial flutter/fibrillation, and left bundle branch aberrancy requiring amiodarone and cardioversion.
