Does temporary transvenous pacing suppress paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation in patients with hypomagnesemia?
Temporary transvenous pacing may be an effective treatment for paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation secondary to hypomagnesemia when pharmacological therapy fails.

Warrants Mg assessment in unexplained QT-prolonged VF; leaves open causal role and prevalence in larger cohorts.
Loeb et al. (1968) conducted a case report in Paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation with hypomagnesemia (n=2). Temporary transvenous pacing vs. Drug therapy was evaluated on Suppression of ventricular fibrillation episodes. Temporary transvenous pacing successfully suppressed paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation episodes in two patients with hypomagnesemia after drug therapy failed.
