Miyokarditi Takiben Gelişen Torsade de Pointes: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Miyokardit, miyokard dokusunda iskemik olmayan nekroz ile ilişkili miyokard ödemi olarak tanımlanır. Akut viral miyokardit, çeşitli elektrokardiyografik değişikliklere neden olabilir. Bunlar, iletim bozuklukları, repolarizasyon düzensizlikleri, ventriküler ektopik atımlar ve ventriküler taşikardidir. “Torsade de pointes”, QT aralığının uzamasıyla ilişkili malign ventriküler bir aritmidir. Bu yazıda Torsade de pointes ve ani kalp durması gelişen miyokardit olgusu sunulmaktadır.

Torsade de Pointes Following Myocarditis; A Case Report

Abstract

Myocarditis is defined as myocardial edema associated with non-ischemic necrosis in myocardial tissue. Acute viral myocarditis may cause several electrocardiographic changes. These include conduction disturbances, disorders of repolarization, ventricular ectopic beats, and ventricular tachycardia. “Torsade de pointes” is a malignant ventricular arrhythmia associated with prolongation of the QT interval. In this report, we present a case with myocarditis that developed Torsade de pointes and sudden cardiac arrest.

Keywords
