Practolol in treatment of supraventricular cardiac dysrhythmias.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Practolol (I.C.I. 50172) was used to treat supraventricular dysrhythmias in 32 patients with a rapid ventricular rate and with heart disease of varied aetiology. In 26 patients the average reduction in ventricular rate was 75 per minute, while immediate reversion to sinus rhythm occurred in three patients. The slowing effect was mainly due to a direct action on the atrioventricular node. The effectiveness of practolol was unrelated to the type of dysrhythmia or its aetiology. No serious adverse clinical effects were noted.

The prophylactic value of parenterally administered bretylium tosylate against the onset of dysrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction has been assessed by a controlled trial in 101 male patients. Bretylium significantly reduced the incidence of supraventricular dysrhythmias but was without significant effect on the incidence of ventricular dysrhythmias. The only serious side-effect of the ...

Background Weaning from mechanical ventilation to spontaneous breathing is associated with changes in the hemodynamic and autonomic nervous systems that are reflected by heart rate variability. Although cardiac dysrhythmias are an important manifestation of hemodynamic alterations, the impact of heart rate variability on the occurrence of dysrhythmias during weaning has not been specifically st...

Since its introduction into the United Kingdom in 1970, practolol, a cardioselective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, has been widely used for the treatment of angina pectoris, cardiac dysrhythmias, and, to a lesser extent, hypertension. However, a number of serious complications associated with the use of practolol have become apparent. In 1973 a druginduced lupus erythematosus (SLE) syndrome was...

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a cardiac conduction disorder that presents with potentially life-threatening consequences. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome-induced dysrhythmias account for 20% of all supraventricular tachycardias that occur in the general population. Clinical presentations range from no symptoms to a sudden cardiac arrest. The risk of sudden death is always present with ...

Between 1964 and 1971, 49 patients were discharged from hospital following atrial baffle repair for transposition of the great arteries. Electrocardiograms of 47 of these patients were available for review seven months to eight and a half years (average 31 months) after operation. Of the 46 patients in sinus rhythm prior to operation, 40 (87%) were in sinus rhythm with normal atrioventricular c...
