Cardiac Metastasis of Leiomyosarcoma Complicated with Complete Atrio-Ventricular Block and Ventricular Tachycardia.

چکیده
We described a case of a 54-year-old male who presented with dizziness and dyspnea due to cardiac metastasis of leiomyosarcoma. Cardiac metastasis of leiomyosarcoma caused both bradyarrhythmia and tachyarrhythmia in the patient. He was treated with implantation of a permanent pacemaker for management of complete atrio-ventricular block and anti-arrhythmic drug that suppressed ventricular tachycardia successfully.

This report describes a 55-year-old woman in whom yellow scorpion sting resulted in the development of Mobitz type 1 and transient complete heart blocks unresponsive to atropine administration. It might be concluded that although autonomic involvement including parasympathetic overactivity is present in such cases, other factors such as toxic damage to the cardiac conduction system may play a ...
متن کاملFollow up in a developing country of patients with complete atrio-ventricular block
AIM The purpose of the study was to assess the incidence and survival rate of patients with complete atrio-ventricular block in the cardiac centre of St Elizabeth Catholic General Hospital, Kumbo, Cameroon. METHODS Between 2009 and 2011, 26 patients with complete atrio-ventricular block were diagnosed at our institution. Complete atrio-ventricular block was defined as complete heart block, di...
متن کاملAtrio-ventricular block after administration of lignocaine in patients treated with prenylamine.
Four patients are described who exhibited prolonged Q-T intervals, multiple ventricular premature beats and ventricular tachycardia of the 'torsade de pointes' configuration whilst on treatment with prenylamine. In two of these patients, advanced atrio-ventricular block was established immediately following intravenous administration of lignocaine. The arrhythmia and the atrio-ventricular block...
متن کاملRetrograde conduction in complete heart block.
In complete heart block, absolute independence between atrial and ventricular activity does not always occur. Several mechanisms may be postulated to explain this phenomenon. One is incomplete atrio-ventricular block; another is atrio-ventricular synchronization and accrochage (Marriott, 1956; Schubart, Marriott, and Gorten, 1958; Ettinger, 1965). A third possibility rarely considered is unidir...

Methods Patients referred for cardiac MRI (CMR) from 01/01/ 2003 to 12/31/2009 in our institution, and who had biopsy proven sarcoidosis without concomitant coronary artery disease, were included. Patients were classified as presenting with a major rhythmic disturbance (MRD) if the referral for cardiac MRI was prompted by high grade atrio-ventricular block, sustained ventricular tachycardia or ...
