We describe a case of severe scorpion envenomation in an adult patient, with the presence of very rapid sustained ventricular tachycardia followed by cardiogenic shock, which was reversed by scorpion antivenom administration. Scorpion venom causes cardiac changes that can lead to an environment favoring arrhythmogenesis.

Aluminum Phosphide (ALP) poisoning is regarded as fatal; however, it is commonly used in developing countries. In some countries, such as India and Iran, it is still being used to protect grain against pests at home. As yet, no known antidote is reported to be effective against ALP poisoning. ALP acts through blockage of cell respiration, alteration of cell permeability, and induction of oxidative stress. Some factors can worsen the prognosis of its intoxication, which include hyperglycemia on admission, ingestion of fresh tablets, cardiac abnormality, especially Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), severe metabolic acidosis, cardiogenic shock and other types of shocks, electrolyte disturbances, end-organ damage, and a need for mechanical ventilation. ALP kills its victims by induction of multi-organ failure. In this study, we controlled the patient’s VT using MgSO4, electric shock, amiodarone, and lidocaine. We also encountered the cardiogenic shock using norepinephrine, High-Dose Insulin (HDI), antioxidants, sodium bicarbonate, and normal saline. Moreover, myocardial ischemia, recurrent VTs, and adverse cardiac effects were protected via tight control of magnesium and other electrolytes.

Objective: To determine the clinical outcome of patients admitted with acute anterior versus acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in emergency departments and adult cardiology wards of Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology/National Institute of Heart Diseases, from Aug 2019 to Nov 2019. Methodology: This study was conducted on 340 patients (208 patients with Anterior wall myocardial infarction and 132 patients with inferior wall MI who presented with Acute ST-Elevation MI) to emergency department of Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology/National Institute of Heart Disease during specified period. Outcome was calculated using Electrocardiogram, Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram, Troponin-I, baseline investigations and coro angiography Data was entered and analyzed with SPSS-23. Results: Mean age was 59.38 ± 12.91 years in each group. In clinical symptoms chest pain was highest n=255 (71.4%) followed by diaphoresis 55 (15.4%) and breathlessness 51 (14.3%). The most common complications in patients with inferior wall MI were brady arrhythmia 8 (2.3%) whereas left ventricular failure 41 (12.1%) was more prevalent in patients with anterior wall MI after TVCAD. The results of cardiogenic shock 5 (1.5%),ventricular tachycardia 3 (0.8%) in inferior wall myocardial infarction were comparative to the results of cardiogenic shock 18 (5.3%) ventricular tachycardia 2 (0.5%) in anterior wall myocardial infarction. The number of stable patients was 91 (43.7%) in Anterior wall myocardial infarction and 51 (38.6%) in inferior wall MI. Conclusion: The study shows the comparative clinical outcome of anterior wall myocardial infarction versus inferior wall myocardial infarction.
