The absence of a prehospital 12-lead electrocardiogram can cause definitive treatment delay and repeated transfer. There are already a number of wearable devices that can additionally record a lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and it is reasonable to expect this technology to become a standard feature, as is already the case with automated heart rate tracking. This could potentially have an enormous impact on the early diagnosis of several cardiac diseases. We present this case of a 30-year-old man who was diagnosed with a ventricular tachycardia episode. After the patient was hospitalized, amiodarone treatment caused his ventricular tachycardia to return to NSR. The results of a subsequent 2D-ECHO suggested cardiac sarcoidosis and showed the characteristic patterns of global longitudinal strain patterns and localized wall motion abnormalities. A rise in ACE levels was also detected. The p.. View More»
