Digitized QT dispersion by the Valsalva Maneuver in Hypertensive Patients
BACKGROUND Hypertension is an important risk factor for sudden cardiac death, of which the incidence increases with increases in blood pressure. Prolonged QT dispersion has been identified to indicate increased risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. In this study, QT dispersion was investigated in hypertensive patients during the strain phase of the Valsalva m...
متن کاملEffect of Valsalva Maneuver on QT Dispersion in Hemodialysis Patients.
Increased QT dispersion seems to be related to an increased risk of arrhythmia and sudden death, a common cause of mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Increase in sympathetic tone has been documented in HD patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of changes in the autonomic tone on QT dispersion (QTd) in HD patients. Twenty HD patients (M/F 13/7; age, mean ±SD, 28 ± 10 y...
متن کاملIrbesartan reduces QT dispersion in hypertensive individuals.
Angiotensin type 1 receptor antagonists have direct effects on the autonomic nervous system and myocardium. Because of this, we hypothesized that irbesartan would reduce QT dispersion to a greater degree than amlodipine, a highly selective vasodilator. To test this, we gathered electrocardiographic (ECG) data from a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind parallel group study that ...
متن کاملModified Valsalva Maneuver vs. Standard Valsalva Maneuver on Emergency Department Patients Presenting with Supraventricular Tachycardia
Background: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a relatively common dysrhythmia among the general population and a common dysrhythmia presenting to the emergency department. Generally speaking, it is assumed the provider should attempt a vagal maneuver as first-line treatment for SVT, and the most common vagal maneuver used is the Valsalva. Current resources describing the method to perform t...
متن کاملThe impact of chronic hemodialysis on QT dispersion corrected QTdispersion and maximum QT-dispersion
Introduction: Sudden cardiac death is common in patients on hemodialysis and may occur in the immediate postdialysis period when ventricular premature complexes are common. QT dispersion reflecting hetovogelity in ventricle repolarization has been used for predicting patients with risk of malignant arrhythmia and sudden death. The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of hemodialysis on...
