Inflammatory left ventricular microaneurysms as a cause of apparently idiopathic ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
BACKGROUND We sought to investigate the arrhythmogenic role, incidence, treatment, and prognosis of inflammatory left ventricular (LV) microaneurysms in patients with apparently idiopathic ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Methods and Results-- We studied 156 consecutive patients (71 men, 85 women; mean age, 44.1+/-11.8 years) with severe ventricular arrhythmias and normal 2D echo cardiac parameter...
متن کاملIdiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are disastrous outcomes of various predominant cardiac diseases. The leading cause of SCA and SCD is coronary artery disease. However, SCA/SCD in young patients is mainly caused by congenital disorders of primary arrhythmic or structural origin. SCD is defined as death from an unexpected circulatory arrest, usually because of a cardiac ...
متن کامل[Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation].
Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation is defined as cardiac arrest in the absence of structural heart disease and other identifiable causes of ventricular fibrillation. It occurs in 1% to 9% of survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The mean age of these patients is 35 to 40 years, and 70% to 75% are male. The pathogenesis is unknown; psychosocial factors may play a role. Baseline clinical ...
متن کاملIdiopathic Ventricular Tachycardia of Left Ventricular Origin
Background. The signal-averaged ECG has been used to detect late potentials, and it is considered a noninvasive marker for areas of slow conduction requisite for reentrant arrhythmia. Late potentials are not usually found in patients with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT); nevertheless, fragmented electrograms are often recorded in those patients during endocardial mapping. The purpose of...
متن کاملHigh myocardial 18F-FDG uptake after chemotherapy in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction as well as 3-month later with no left ventricular dysfunction
Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...
