Torsades de pointes and myocardial infarction following reversal of supraventricular tachycardia with adenosine: a case report [PDF]
Einstein (São Paulo)Adenosine is an antiarrhythmic drug that slows conduction through the atrioventricular node and acts as a coronary blood vessel dilator. This case report highlights two unusual life-threatening events following the use of adenosine to revert ...

How to facilitate ultrasound examination of the fetal heart: the 5‐4‐3‐2‐1 method
Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a new standardized, systematic method of fetal cardiac screening, the step‐by‐step ‘5‐4‐3‐2‐1’ method. This method is based on understanding the cardiac structures through a process of navigating between the different recommended views during an abdominothoracic sweep, following a user‐friendly checklist to identify the main ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose Ventricular fibrillation (VF) in coronary heart disease accounts for up to 70% of sudden cardiac death. We examined whether diltiazem N‐oxide (DNO) has ischaemia‐selective antiarrhythmic activity. Experimental Approach Randomised and blinded experiments were performed in rat isolated hearts and in anaesthetised rats to ...
