Mr. Lahm is a 43 year old male with Down's syndrome who was admitted with multiple episodes of syncope over the prior 8-10 years, characterized by emesis followed by loss of consciousness with a question of seizure like activity. In the Emergency Room he was noted to be somewhat groggy and had a brief episode of apparent loss of consciousness with a question of apnea, and had a heart rate of 30 beats per minute. He was intubated in the CT scan room, sedated and paralyzed while the study was completed. When he arrived in the Intensive Care Unit, he had a heart beat in the 20s with complete heart block, which was transient and with subsequent return to normal sinus rhythm. His neurological exam was nonfocal, electrolytes were normal, his EKG showed sinus tachycardia with an axis of 0, ST flattening in leads V5 and V6, I in L and a question of a Q in III. Chest X-ray raised the question of an infiltrate in the left base. He was ruled out for myocardial infarction, despite an elevated CK and the MB fraction was negative on electrophoresis. On the morning of February, he spiked a temperature to 102.3 and was begun on Penicillin. Later on February he had an episode of complete heart block with asystole for 9 seconds. Otherwise, he alternated sinus tachycardia and second degree heart block with runs of bradycardia at the rate of 30-40 and also tachycardia. A temporary pacemaker was placed on February through the left subclavian approach and he was hemodynamically stable, except for intermittent hypertension, which was treated with Nifedipine. He was switched from Nifedipine to Captopril for treatment of his hypertension and his fever was treated with Cefotetan for presumed aspiration pneumonia, which resulted in a delay in his pacemaker placement. He was transferred to the Cardiology Wa Nas O on March, 1993 to await pacemaker placement. He underwent permanent pacemaker placement in the Operating Room with anesthesia backup in case there was need for intubation because the patient had difficulty remaining still. The medications at discharge were: Kefzol 500mg q.i.d. for 3 days, and Lisinopril 10mg p.o. q day. He will followup with Dr. Antis on January, 1993 and in TYTAZE TH IONO VALLEY HEALTH with Dr. Filiberto Schie. Secondary Diagnoses were pacemaker placement and Down's syndrome.
