Conclusion-
Acute cervical spinal cord injury is common and have important
cardiovascular system consequences. Although very rare, still patients
may develop polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, fibrillation and
cardiac arrest. Critical care physician must be vigilant enough to
recognise this form of tachycardia. Distinction between polymorphic VT
with normal QT and polymorphic VT with QT prolongation is of paramount
importance as treatment protocols differ. Autonomic imbalance along with
loss of heart rate variability may be triggering factors in initiation
of this arrythmia.
