Asymptomatic paroxysmal ventricular standstill in an elderly male following revascularization of multivessel coronary disease: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Ventricular standstill is a dangerous arrhythmia that requires prompt diagnosis and intervention, especially in patients with structural heart disease. Clinicians should recognize ventricular standstill as a complication of cardiac revascularization and be cognizant of asymptomatic cases necessitating intervention. Early evaluation to facilitate pacemaker implantation portends good outcomes in this patient subgroup.
