Key result
Radiofrequency ablation of premature ventricular complexes can lead to electrocardiographic changes of cardiac memory presenting as ST elevations.
Why the study?
The authors sought to explain the possible mechanisms and causes of ST-segment elevation during radiofrequency ablation, reporting a case of cardiac memory presenting as ST elevation following premature ventricular complex ablation.
Case Report (n=1)
This report highlights a novel presentation of cardiac memory as ST elevations following radiofrequency ablation of premature ventricular complexes.
Post-ablation ST elevations warrant consideration of cardiac memory; single-case data leaves open prevalence and management implications.
We report on a patient who developed electrocardiographic changes of cardiac memory (CM) presenting as ST elevations following ablation of premature ventricular complexes (PVC). In this report we attempt to explain the possible mechanism and causes of ST-segment elevation in patients during radiofrequency ablation. We believe this is a first reported case of CM presenting as ST elevation following ablation of PVC.

Kichloo et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Premature ventricular complexes (n=1). Radiofrequency ablation was evaluated on Electrocardiographic changes of cardiac memory presenting as ST elevations. Radiofrequency ablation of premature ventricular complexes can lead to electrocardiographic changes of cardiac memory presenting as ST elevations.
