Accelerated idioventricular rhythm during flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

A Borgeat, R Chiolero, B Mosimann

    Critical Care Medicine
    |March 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Accelerated idioventricular rhythm during flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy may indicate underlying coronary artery disease. This arrhythmia, along with severe hypoxemia, prompted further cardiac investigation in a patient with no prior cardiac history.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure.
    • Coronary artery disease (CAD) can present asymptomatically.
    • Arrhythmias can occur during invasive procedures.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed severe hypoxemia and accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) during flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
    • The patient had no prior history or physical examination findings suggestive of cardiac disease.

    Findings:

    • Coronary artery disease was suspected due to the unusual arrhythmia during bronchoscopy.
    • Thallium-201 imaging confirmed the presence of underlying coronary artery disease.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The occurrence of AIVR during fiberoptic bronchoscopy should prompt consideration of occult coronary artery disease.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering cardiac etiologies in patients experiencing unexpected events during procedures.
    • Early detection of CAD through non-traditional signs can improve patient outcomes.
