Ventricular arrhythmia: A feature of tubercular myocarditis

A Challenging Case Of Ventricular Arrhythmia In A Patient With Myocarditis: ICD Yes/No After Ablation.

In patients with myocarditis, early diagnosis and appropriate therapy are mandatory, as well as close clinical follow-up with particular regard to progression of disease and ventricular arrhythmia recurrences. The management of ventricular arrhythmias should follow current guidelines for ICD implantation, but new therapeutic options could be evaluated in these patients, such as combined epicard...

Effect 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...

Acebutolol Therapy for Ventricular Arrhythmia

The safety and efficacy of acebutolol in suppressing ventricular ectopy was evaluated in 60 males (average age 59 years) using 24-hour Holter recordings and a double-blind, randomized, crossover protocol. Acebutolol, 200 mg and 400 mg thrice daily, was compared with placebo. Only patients who had a mean of at least 30 ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) per hour on three 24-hour control Holt...

arrhythmia in acute right ventricular infarction

acute inferior myocardial infarction (mi) frequently involves the right ventricle (rv).1-3 we assessed the prognostic impact of rv myocardial involvement in patients with inferior mi. one hundred seventy patients were admitted to the cardiac care unit of madani heart hospital (tabriz-iran) with the diagnosis of inferior mi with (group1) or without (group2) the simultaneous involvement of rv dur...
