Risk Assessment And Management

We have presented a case of a 22-year-old man, presenting with cerebral infarct, subsequently found to have antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and atrial septal defect (ASD), thereby confirming the presence of infarct due to paradoxical embolism in this patient. The importance of ASD in the patients of APS, resulting in paradoxical embolism is debatable, with recent studies undermining its importance. We have demonstrated that it does indeed happen. This would have implications in the risk assessment and management of ASD in such patients. This case report is intended to serve as a reminder of this association and the need to perform further research in this area.

Case Summary

Abstract Background In cardiac implantable electronic device management, confused electrocardiograms are sometimes encountered. Case summary We experienced a case of dizziness and presyncope, which was accompanied by irregular pacing spikes following QRS complexes, pacing failure, sensing failure, or something else. The patient’s second active pacemaker in her left chest was functioning normally. However, her old abdominal pacemaker had automatically changed from the OVO to VVI mode because of an elective replacement indicator. As a result, her old and second pacemakers had an interaction. Old invalid pacing spikes induced oversensing of the current pacemaker, which interfered with valid pacing. Discussion We experienced a rare case of dizziness and presyncope with confused pacing spikes. Physicians should be aware of the unexpected interactions that are possible with devices with automatic mode changes.

Common Risk Factors

Right-sided native valve infective endocarditis (IE) includes tricuspid valve (TV) and pulmonic valve (PV). It represents 10% of all cases. However, it is more common in persons who inject drugs or in presence of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED). Pulmonic valve endocarditis is a rare infection and represents ∼1% of all cases. Our case represents a patient with large pulmonic valve vegetation with no known common risk factors for right-sided IE.
