First reported case of lead-related infective endocarditis secondary to Capnocytophaga canimorsus: ‘Dog Scratch’ endocarditis Gareth Squire and Simon Hetherington Department of Cardiology, Kettering General Hospital, Kettering, Northamptonshire, UK Correspondence to Dr Gareth Squire; gsquire154{at}gmail.com Abstract A 76-year-old woman presented with a 6-week history of malaise, night sweats and recurrent fever.
We describe the case of a 3-week postpartum 27-year-old woman who presented with chest pain to the emergency department shortly before developing cardiac arrest with refractory ventricular fibrillation. She was initially misdiagnosed and treated for presumed pulmonary embolism (PE) with thrombolysis. A total of 14 direct current cardioversion shocks were given and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved post thrombolysis. Subsequent CT pulmonary angiography excluded PE.
