متن کاملBiventricular pacing improves clinical behavior and reduces prevalence of ventricular arrhythmia in patients with heart failure.
PURPOSE To analyze the influence of biventricular pacing (BP) on clinical behavior, ventricular arrhythmia (VA) prevalence, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) by gated ventriculography. METHODS Twenty-four patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and NYHA class III and IV underwent pacemaker implantation and were randomized either to the conventional or BP group, all receivin...
متن کاملT wave alternans for ventricular arrhythmia risk stratification.
Sudden cardiac death remains one of the leading causes of death in Europe and the United States. Accordingly, the ability to identify patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death is important so that appropriate treatments can be used efficiently. Recently, T wave alternans (TWA) has emerged as a promising new test for such risk stratification. TWA is a heart rate dependent measure of arrhythm...
متن کاملAutonomic modulation of electrical restitution, alternans and ventricular fibrillation initiation in the isolated heart.
OBJECTIVE Abnormal autonomic nerve activity is a strong prognostic marker for ventricular arrhythmias but the mechanisms underlying the autonomic modulation of ventricular fibrillation (VF) initiation are poorly understood. We examined the effects of direct sympathetic (SS) and vagus (VS) nerve stimulation on electrical restitution, alternans and VF threshold (VFT) in a novel isolated rabbit he...
متن کاملEffect of gallic acid on electrophysiological properties and ventricular arrhythmia following chemical-induced arrhythmia in rat
Objective(s): Ventricular arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are the most important causes of mortality rate. Gallic acid (GA) has beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of GA on electrophysiological parameters such as QRS complex, heart rate (HR), PR interval pa...
