Atrial Flutter in a Newborn: a Case Report
Introduction: The incidence of cardiac arrhythmia is approximately 1% in the neonatal period and 1–3% in late pregnancy. Atrial flutter (AF), a rhythm disorder based on the mechanism of reentry, represents approximately 32% of all neonatal cardiac ...

Drugs and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia risk: results from the DARE study cohort. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: To establish a unique sample of proarrhythmia cases, determine the characteristics of cases and estimate the contribution of individual drugs to the incidence of proarrhythmia within these cases.

Quality of Life in Patients with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators [PDF]
Background: The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a life saving device for individuals with life threatening ventricular arrhythmias. There is no doubt that it is a cost effective therapy in various congenital and acquired arrhythmogenic ...

Should beta-blocker therapy be reduced or withdrawn after an episode of decompensated heart failure? Results from COMET. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether beta-blocker therapy should be reduced or withdrawn in patients who develop acute decompensated heart failure (HF). We studied the relationship between changes in beta-blocker dose and outcome in patients surviving a

Connexin43 Deficiency Leads to Ventricular Arrhythmias by Reprogramming Proline Metabolism
The study demonstrated that connexin43 (Cx43) knockout caused arrhythmic phenotype and decreased proline content in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Cx43 interacts with the amino acid transporter SNAT2 (sodium‐dependent neutral amino acid transporter), and its deficiency disrupts proline transport and metabolism.

Amiodarone-related Pneumonitis
Amiodarone-related pneumonitis is a potentially limiting factor for amiodarone usage. However, it is believed that amiodarone-related pneumonitis is unlikely to occur during low-dose and short courses of therapy. We report three patients who received low-

Pharmacology of Antiarrhythmics: Quinidine, Beta-Blockers, Diphenylhydantoin, Bretylium [PDF]
The electrophysiologic effects of the antiarrhythmic drugs, presented elsewhere in this symposium, form only one of the bases for the selection of a therapeutic agent in any given clinical situation.
