Local anesthetics are commonly deployed for a variety of medical procedures across many disciplines. Systemic toxicity is rarely seen in clinical practice, and quick recognition and how to manage this syndrome are crucial. The development of systemic toxicity is influenced by the site of administration, the type of anesthetic used, and the total dose administered. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) syndrome is used as a diagnosis to encompass the cardiovascular and pulmonary adverse effects associated with the intradermal and subcutaneous use of local anesthetics-in our case, lidocaine. We present a case of a 37-year-old man who experienced dysarthria, bilateral arm shaking, and sinus tachycardia following the administration of 70 mL of lidocaine 2% during surgery for dual-chamber pacemaker placement. While some form of allergic reaction remained a possibility, the strongest clinical correlation and diagnosis were attributed to LAST.

The ligament of Marshall is an embryological remnant of the left superior vena cava that contains neural tissues shown to be an arrhythmogenic source of atrial fibrillation (AF). Vein of Marshall (VOM) ethanol ablation is an ablation technique that can potentially treat AF by targeting the ligament of Marshall. We report a case of a patient who developed a pro-arrhythmic effect related to VOM ethanol ablation, which manifested as a perimitral flutter.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) caused by ventricular tachyarrhythmias is a significant contributor to cardiovascular deaths worldwide. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have shown efficacy in preventing and reducing mortality from SCD, but traditional transvenous ICDs have inherent challenges and drawbacks, such as lead fractures, lead-associated endocarditis, and lead failure. To address these issues, subcutaneous ICDs (S-ICDs) have been developed. S-ICDs lack pacing capacity but are a valid alternative for patients at high risk for infection or with difficult venous access. Pre-implantation screening can help prevent inappropriate device shocks. We present a case in which a patient received inappropriate S-ICD therapy, which was attributed to the triple counting of P-, R-, and T-waves in a patient with sinus rhythm. This is an unusual occurrence, and, to the best of our knowledge, there are only a limited number of case reports documenting inappropriate shocks due to the oversensing of P-waves and T-waves.
室性心动过速导致的心脏性猝死(SCD)是全球心血管疾病死亡的重要原因。植入式心律转复除颤器(ICD)在预防和降低 SCD 死亡率方面已显示出功效,但传统的经静脉 ICD 存在固有的挑战和缺陷,如导联线断裂、导联线相关心内膜炎和导联失效。为了解决这些问题,人们开发了皮下 ICD(S-ICD)。S-ICD 缺乏起搏能力,但对于感染风险高或静脉通路困难的患者来说是一种有效的替代方法。植入前筛查有助于防止不适当的设备冲击。我们介绍了一例患者接受不适当 S-ICD 治疗的病例,其原因是窦性心律患者出现了 P 波、R 波和 T 波的三重计数。据我们所知,由于 P 波和 T 波感应过度而导致不适当电击的病例报告为数不多。
