Second-degree atrioventricular block.
1) While it is possible only one type of second-degree AV block exists electrophysiologically, the available data do not justify such a conclusion and it would seem more appropriate to remain a "splitter," and advocate separation and definition of multiple mechanisms, than to be a "lumper," and embrace a unitary concept. 2) The clinical classification of type I and type II AV block, based on pr...
متن کاملMyocardial infarction, symptomatic third degree atrioventricular block and pulmonary embolism caused by thalidomide: a case report
BACKGROUND Thalidomide has been reported to cause numerous thromboembolic events. Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are more common. It can also cause bradycardia and even total atrioventricular block. Rarely, it causes coronary artery spasm and even myocardial infarction.

Sir, The important paper by Shaw et al (1985;53: 587-93) showed that elderly patients with persistent type I second degree heart block have a poor prognosis. They concluded that in the absence of special circumstances these patients should receive permanent pacemakers. Indications for pacemaker implantation have changed and we need to consider the findings of Shaw et al in the light of current ...
متن کاملSurvival in second degree atrioventricular block.
Two hundred and 14 patients with chronic second degree heart block were seen and followed up in the Devon Heart Block and Bradycardia Survey between 1968 and 1982. The patients were divided into three groups according to the type of block. In group 1 there were 77 patients with Mobitz type I block (mean age 69 years), in group 2, 86 patients with Mobitz type II block (mean age 74 years), and in...

Although most prescribers are aware of the common gastrointestinal side effects of donepezil, cardiovascular side effects are rarely observed. Cardiovascular side effects of donepezil have almost always been observed in patients with a history of conduction ...
