Complex transposition with the risk of sudden death while awaiting transplant: Case report by Berardo Sarubbi, MD, PhD

Abstract

1. In any patient with intermittent pacing and heart failure examine the pacing burden. Always consider that pacing may be the cause of the heart failure. 2. Amiodarone is a reasonable option to treat patients with ventricular arrhythmia who are on the transplant list. However, amiodarone use needs to be individualized based on the patient’s concurrent morbidities. 3. S-ICD is an attractive but relatively untested treatment for suitable patients who are on the transplant list.
