Ectopic Rhythm
نویسنده
چکیده
CHEST I 93 I 3 I MARCH, 1988 647 In summary, we report the first patient with bilateral pneumothoraces, bilateral empyemas and baeteremia resuiting from the common practice of illicit drug injection into the internal jugular veins. Needle marks in the supraclavicular area in dyspneic patients suspected of intravenous drug abuse should alert physicians to the possibility of these potentially life-threatening complications.

Atrial dissociation.
Atrial dissociation is characterized by two sets of independent P waves on the electrocardiogram and two atrial beats independent of each other. One atrium is under the control of the dominant pacemaker (sinus node) which also controls the ventricles, while the other atrium or part of the other atrium is under the control ofan ectopic pacemaker, resulting in unilateral ectopic atrial rhythm, be...
متن کاملDysrhythmia and oral surgery.
Two hundred and three male patients undergoing oral surgery were monitored for abnormalities of cardiac rhythm. Eight per cent of a smaller number of patients (seventy-six) developed ectopic rhythms during induction of anaesthesia and in half of all patients nodal rhythm was seen. Twenty-three per cent developed ectopic rhythms in response to surgery. In three per cent of patients these were of...

OBJECTIVES To ascertain the responsiveness to immunosuppressive treatment of myocarditis and borderline myocarditis in children with ventricular ectopic rhythm (that is, all ventricular arrhythmia except benign premature ventricular contractions). To determine the impact of the diagnostic information provided by an endomyocardial biopsy specimen in these patients. BACKGROUND The therapeutic v...
متن کاملPrevalence and natural course of ectopic atrial tachycardia.
AIMS The purpose of this study was to calculate the prevalence of ectopic atrial tachycardia in a population of young asymptomatic males and to assess its natural course both in asymptomatic subjects and in symptomatic hospital patients. METHODS AND RESULTS 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) of 3554 consecutive males applying for a pilot's licence were analysed. ECGs of symptomatic arrhythmia p...
متن کاملInfluence of brief vagal and stellate nerve stimulation on pacemaker activity and conduction within the atrioventricular conduction system of the dog.
Experiments were performed on open-chest anesthetized dogs to determine the quantitative effects of autonomic nerve stimulition or pacemaker activity and conduction. The lead II electrocardiogram together with bipolar electrograms were recorded from the atria, the His bundles, and the ventricles. The vagi or the stellate gangba were stimulated in dogs which exhibited either sinus rhythm, ectopi...
