Detection of dysrhythmia in pediatric patients with mitral valve prolapse.
The association of dysrhythmias with mitral valve prolapse in pediatric patients was investigated by graded treadmill exercise testing and 24-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring. Twenty-six unselected patients with a clinical diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse confirmed by echocardiography or angiocardiography or both were studied. On 24-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring, six patients (23%) had potenti...
متن کاملIntermittent short ECG recording is more effective than 24-hour Holter ECG in detection of arrhythmias
BACKGROUND Many patients report symptoms of palpitations or dizziness/presyncope. These patients are often referred for 24-hour Holter ECG, although the sensitivity for detecting relevant arrhythmias is comparatively low. Intermittent short ECG recording over a longer time period might be a convenient and more sensitive alternative. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of 24-h...
متن کاملPersistent tachycardia in clozapine treated patients: A 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram study
Tachycardia is associated with cardiovascular mortality. Tachycardia is also a known clozapine adverse effect. However, whether clozapine-associated tachycardia is persistent is not known. Thirty clozapine-treated patients with clinical tachycardia were investigated with 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography (ECG). Baseline peripheral heart rate (HR) was 106.7±7.8. The ambulatory ECG 24-hour-H...
متن کاملEvaluation of the cardiovascular system in patients with juvenile dermatomyositis
Methods 8 patients at average age 11,12 (range 7 – 18) years, 3 girls and 5 boys with diagnosed JDM, all during treatment were included in the study. An average duration of illness at the time of study was 3,25 ± 1,83 years. Disease activity and circulatory system were assessed by clinical examination. ECG, echocardiography and 24 hour ECG Holter Monitoring were performed and analysed. Disease ...
متن کاملDetection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in acute stroke patients.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent cause of stroke, but detecting paroxysmal AF (pAF) poses a challenge. We investigated whether continuous bedside ECG monitoring in a stroke unit detects pAF more sensitively than 24-hour Holter ECG, and tested whether examining RR interval dynamics on short-term ECG recordings using an automated screening algorithm (ASA) for pAF detection is a u...
