Renal denervation as a treatment strategy for vasospastic angina induced ventricular tachycardia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia can be a detrimental consequence of coronary vasospasm [1]. The pathophysiology of vasospastic angina (VA) is poorly understood, although the disease has been linked to sympathetic hyperactivity [2–4]. We present a 52-year-old male smoker with ventricular fibrillation (VF) 2 years ago. Work-up revealed no signs of structural heart disease or obstructive coronary

Myocardial sympathetic denervation, fatty acid metabolism, and left ventricular wall motion in vasospastic angina.
UNLABELLED Although various noninvasive methods have been used to detect vasospasm, none of them are sensitive enough for patients with sporadic attacks. Because abnormal fatty acid metabolism and cardiac adrenergic neuronal damage are observed in ischemic myocardium, (123)I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-R,S-methyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) and (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) have recently been pr...
متن کاملLife-threatening arrhythmias leading to syncope in patients with vasospastic angina
The coronary artery diseases (CAD) that can lead to the occurrence of a syncopal attack include acute coronary syndrome, vasospastic angina, effort angina, and prior myocardial infarction. The possible mechanisms considered to lead to syncope in patients with CAD are pump failure, tachyarrhythmia, bradycardia, and vagal stimulation. Coronary artery spasm, in particular, is occasionally observed...

متن کاملPolymorphic ventricular tachycardia due to variant angina diagnosed on Holter monitoring and confirmed with cold pressor test.
A 52-year-old man complaining of persistent recurring chest pain at night underwent coronary angiogram at another institution. Normal coronaries were observed and he was discharged with muscle spasmolytic prescription. Since symptoms had continued, 24-hour Holter monitoring was ordered at our facility and results revealed huge ST elevation and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Cold pressor t...
متن کاملA Case Report of Renal Sympathetic Denervation for the Treatment of Polymorphic Ventricular Premature Complexes
Premature ventricular complexes are very common, appearing most frequently in patients with hypertension, obesity, sleep apnea, and structural heart disease. Sympathetic hyperactivity plays a critical role in the development, maintenance, and aggravation of ventricular arrhythmias. Recently, Armaganijan et al reported the relevance of sympathetic activation in patients with ventricular arrhythm...
