Video Summary
Stephan, a 64-year-old with a history of heart issues and recent liver abscess, experienced a cardiac arrest linked to low potassium (2.9) and acquired Long QT syndrome. Post-resuscitation, his treatment included medications like clavix and potassium supplements, with an ICD placed. A month later, he was stable on a revised medication regimen without further incidents. The situation likely stems from acquired Long QT due to his condition and medications, indicating no need for genetic testing (C). This excludes inherited conditions or future risks if potassium levels were maintained effectively.
