Exercise test-induced arrhythmias.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exercise testing commonly used by clinicians to characterize cardiovascular risk by detecting myocardial ischemia and assessing response to exercise. However, a consensus has not previously existed regarding the significance of exercise test-induced arrhythmias due to conflicting results from the available studies. Recent studies with longer follow-up and improved technology have therefore stimulated this current review of the topic. Despite the continued debate in the literature regarding the prognosis of ETIA in a general population, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that clinicians should closely evaluate and follow those patients with arrhythmias during exercise testing and aggressively modify risk factors for coronary artery disease.

High prevalence of exercise-induced arrhythmias in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia mutation-positive family members diagnosed by cascade genetic screening.
AIM Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an inherited cardiac disease predisposing to life-threatening arrhythmias. We aimed to determine the prevalence of arrhythmias and efficacy of beta-blocker treatment in mutation-positive family members diagnosed by cascade genetic screening. METHODS AND RESULTS Relatives of six unrelated CPVT patients were tested for the rele...
متن کاملHow often does spirometry testing induce cardiac arrhythmias?
AIMS To describe the frequency and type of arrhythmia induced by forced expiratory and inspiratory flow-volume loop manoeuvres. METHODS 735 subjects (548 men) aged from 10 to 98 years old (mean 54 years, SD +/- 15) were submitted to a conventional medical examination and spirometry testing prior to a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). A continuous digital electrocardiogram (ECG) wa...
متن کاملIncidence of arrhythmias induced by isometric and dynamic exercise.
The incidence of arrhythmias during isometric sustained handgrip exercise and during dynamic graded bicycle exercise was compared in a group of 45 patients with various forms of heart disease on no antiarrhythmic therapy. Atrial arrhythmias were equally common during handgrip and bicycle exercise but ventricular arrhythmias were more frequent during handgrip exercise. Of the 45 patients, 38 per...
متن کاملThe prognostic significance of exercise-induced atrial arrhythmias.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to determine if atrial ectopy (AE) or atrial arrhythmias during exercise are predictive of an increased risk of cardiac events and death. BACKGROUND Although stress-induced atrial arrhythmias are common during exercise testing, there is a paucity of data regarding the correlation with underlying heart disease and cardiovascular outcomes. Atrial arrhythm...
متن کاملCalcium channel blockers and beta-blockers versus beta-blockers alone for preventing exercise-induced arrhythmias in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
BACKGROUND The mainstay of therapy for catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is maximal doses of beta-blockers. However, although beta-blockers prevent exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia (VT), most patients continue to have ventricular ectopy during exercise, and some studies report high mortality rates despite beta-blockade. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study wa...
