We present o case of life-threatening arrhythmia occurring during tilt table testing in a 44-year-old man with syncope. Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia occurred while the patient was tilted up under the intravenous infusion of isoproterenol (2 µg/min). No ischemia. QTc prolongation, or electrolyte abnormality preceded this event. The arrhythmia was not induced by programmed ventricular stimulation or exercise testing. Based on electrophysiological and clinical data, the diagnosis of sick sinus syndrome was entertained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
