Pulsus Alternans in Aortic Stenosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Alternation in the strength of left ventricular contractions was noted relatively frequently in patients with acquired aortic stenosis, but not in patients with congenital aortic stenosis of similar severity. The product of left ventricular systolic pressure and heart rate, an index of the myocardial oxygen requirement, was significantly higher in those patients who exhibited persistent pulsus alternans.

Recurrence of pulsus alternans after fentanyl injection in a patient with aortic stenosis and congestive heart failure.
Following aortic valve replacement in a patient with aortic stenosis and cardiac failure, marked pulsus alternans recurred immediately after intravenous injection of 0.5 mg fentanyl, without concomitant changes in heart rate, mean left atrial pressure, or the electrocardiogram. Pulsus alternans is known to occur in association with heart failure and aortic stenosis, but has not been reported pr...

Acquired aortic stenosis, when severe, often gives rise to pulsus alternans.' Other relatively common causes for pulsus alternans include hypertensive heart disease, coronary artery disease, syphilitic heart disease and cardi~myopathy.~ When pulsus alternans is present, the clinician can usually appreciate it through the use of a sphygmomanometer, in which case when the cuff is infiated to near...

Ten patients with mechanical pulsus alternans were studied by echocardiography and mechanocardiography. All had been or were in congestive heart failure. An atrial mechanism for pulsus alternans could be identified in two patients: one with primary congestive cardiomyopathy and one after aortic valve replacement for calcific aortic stenosis. Each strong systole was preceded by an "a" wave, whil...

PULSUS ALTERNANS, first described by Traubel in 1872, is a phenomenon of alternately higher and lower peak systolic pressure in the presence of regular rhythm and independent of respiratory variation. It has been described most commonly in hypertensive and coronary artery disease, syphilitic heart disease,2' 3and acquired aortic stenosis, seldom in congenital aortic stenosis,4 and only occasion...
