Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) is defined as a drop in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the setting of chronic, high-burden right ventricular pacing. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and conduction system pacing (CSP) have been proposed to manage PICM. Although acute myocardial infarction has been described as a predictor of PICM, there are no guideline recommendations for CRT or CSP in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and preserved LVEF. In this report, we present and discuss three cases of PICM in patients with CAD and preserved LVEF.

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.
