Electrophysiological and epicardial mapping studies are described in a patient without pre-excitation who had intractable recurrent paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Electrophysiological studies revealed fixed VA conduction times during both rapid ventricular pacing and coupled ventricular stimulation. Catheter mapping of atrial activation during retrograde conduction and during induced ...

The role of supraventricular extrasystoles in the initiation of ventricular arrhythmia was studied in 72 consecutive patients who developed primary ventricular fibrillation during the acute phase of myocardial infarction. In six patients (8%), a total of 12 episodes of ventricular fibrillation and 16 episodes of ventricular tachycardia were initiated by supraventricular extrasystoles. Ventricul...

propafenone hci (p), is a relatively new class ic antiarrhythmic agent. it has been reported to be superior to conventional antiarrhythmics in the control of supraventricular, ventricular and wpw associated tachyarrhythmias. it has been also shown to be well tolerated. in our study protocol, which extends over 2~ years period , we used (p) in 87 patients for management of various types of cardi...

The occurrence in 6 patients of premature ventricular beats before reversion to sinus rhythm, after the intravenous administration ofverapamil-for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia, is reported. Four patients had pre-excitation syndromes (Wolff-Parkinson-White in I and Lown-Ganong-Levine in 3) and one patient had bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome. In the remaining patient, at previou...

BACKGROUND Supraventricular arrhythmias after thoracotomy for pulmonary resections are well documented. There has been considerable interest in their incidence, nature, predictability from preoperative assessment and treatment. The purpose of this study is to define prevalence, type, risk factors for post-thoracotomy supraventricular arrhythmias and to assess the efficacy of amiodarone as an an...

Six newborn infants with intrauterine supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (five cases of atrial flutter and one of supraventricular tachycardia) are described. Transplacental digitalisation was attempted in three cases. Supraventricular tachycardia associated with hydrops fetalis, detected in a fetus at a gestation of 31 weeks, was successfully converted to normal sinus rhythm eight days after th...

Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension. Common findings in these patients were elevated right atrial pressure and diameters and reduced tricuspid annula...

Introduction: Treatment of supraventricular arrhythmia includes wide range of medical interventions. Herbal remedies are suitable alternatives for synthetic drugs due to their availability, minimal side effects and lower price. Pharmacological studies and traditional medical literature point to the cardiovascular effects of the Artemisia absinthium L. from Compositae family of plants. Meth...
