Background and Aims: Insomnia is a risk factor for the development of arterial hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiac rhythm disorders, myocardial infarction. At same time, insomnia one most frequent non-cardiac complaints in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The aim work was to study presence possible relationships between level blood lipids.

INTRODUCTION Naloxone's use in cardiac arrest has been of recent interest, stimulated by conflicting results in both human case reports and animal studies demonstrating antiarrhythmic and positive ionotropic effects. We hypothesized that naloxone administration during cardiac arrest, in suspected opioid overdosed patients, is associated with a change in cardiac rhythm. METHODS From a database...

Along with the existence of an intracardiac pacemaker a generator of cardiac rhythm exists in the central nervous system - in the efferent structures of the cardiovascular center of the medullar oblongata. Neural signals originating there in the form of bursts of impulses conduct to the heart along the vagus nerves and after interaction with cardiac pacemaker structures cause generation of the ...

BACKGROUND The effect of a subsequent treated shockable rhythm during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the outcome of children who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with initial nonshockable rhythm is unclear. We hypothesized that subsequent treated shockable rhythm in children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest would improve survival with favorable neurological outcomes (Cerebral Performa...

STUDY HYPOTHESIS Substantial inter-rater agreement is present in the labeling by paramedics of ventricular fibrillation and asystolic rhythms. DESIGN Prospective, cross-sectional study. TYPE OF PARTICIPANTS One hundred five practicing paramedics from nonvolunteer agencies who are advanced cardiac life support certified. METHODS Five static cardiac arrest rhythm strips, classified by Cummi...

A patient is described in whom a large congenital aneurysm or diverticulum of the right atrium caused repeated attacks of supraventricular arrhythmia and a strikingly reduced cardiac output. The aneurysm, which contained a large thrombus, was demonstrated by preoperative angiographic examinations. At the time of operation, regular rhythm returned at the moment the aneurysm was transsected. The ...

Post-stroke atrial fibrillation has been frequently reported especially in the patients with right insular infarct as an evidence of cerebrogenic mechanism affecting on cardiac rhythm. However, conversion to normal sinus rhythm after stroke in patients who had atrial fibrillation has not been reported. A 88-year-old men who had untreated atrial fibrillation was admitted to hospital due to left ...

OBJECTIVE Little is known about long-term prognosis following resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, especially as it relates to the presenting rhythm or arrest aetiology. We investigated long-term survival among those discharged alive following resuscitation according to presenting rhythm and arrest aetiology. METHODS We conducted a cohort investigation of all non-traumatic adult...

Angiotensin II (ATII) causes through the central nervous mechanism certain cardiovascular disorders. Th e participation of a central nervous component in the genesis of cardiac arrhythmia caused by Angiotensin is stated. Th e present paper describes the action exerted by ATII on the cardiac rhythm, after intracerebroventricular administration (icv) in rats anesthetized with ethylic urethane. Th...
