inappropriate shocks
unexpected return of sinus rhythm - Opis:
- Impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with cancer can disqualify them from targeted antineoplastic treatment. We present the case of 63-year-old male with gastric cancer treated palliatively, with concomitant dilated cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation (AF) and after implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), in whom inappropriate ICD discharges caused unexpected return of sinus rhythm and significant LVEF improvement, what subsequently led to reclassification to targeted chemotherapy. In conclusion, unexpected return of sinus rhythm in cancer patients with AF and reduced LVEF may lead to LVEF recovery and enable the use of antineoplastic treatment with improved prognosis.
