The pressures used were plus or minus 5 to 9 cm H20.6 Similar physiologic effects have been described as the result of therapy with intermittent positive-pressure breathing (IPPB), whether induced by supra-atmospheric pressure (ie, IPPB apparatus) or by atmospheric pressure induced by the same intratank negative pres-

Background and purpose: Different types of dysrhythmia occur with different degrees after heart attack. Involved patients need specific care and should be admitted in coronary care unit (CCU). Visit is one of the basic needs of patients and their families during admission period but visits are limited in CCU. This research evaluated the effect of planned visits on occurrence of heart dysrhyth...
متن کاملSerum potassium concentration as a risk factor of ventricular arrhythmias early in acute myocardial infarction.
Sixty patients with a first acute myocardial infarction and no current treatment with cardioactive drugs were included in a prospective study of the relationship between serum potassium concentration and the early occurrence of ventricular tachycardia and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Serum potassium level (range 2.5 to 5 mmol/liter) was estimated 3.8 +/- 2.5 hr (mean +/- SD) after...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES We sought to demonstrate the mode of spontaneous onset of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in patients with Chagas' cardiomyopathy. METHODS We studied 222 stored electrograms in 14 patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy and spontaneous monomorphic ventricular tachycardia treated with a cardioverter defibrillator. Premature ventricular complexes before ven...
متن کاملPremature Ventricular Contractions and Non-sustained Ventricular Tachycardia: Association with Sudden Cardiac Death, Risk Stratification, and Management Strategies
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) are frequently encountered and a marker of electrocardiomyopathy. In some instances, they increase the risk for sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and sudden cardiac death. While often associated with a primary cardiomyopathy, they have also been known to cause tachycardia-induce...
