Diltiazem N‐oxide, a novel ischaemia‐activated prodrug, prevents ischaemia‐induced ventricular fibrillation without off‐target adverse effects

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 ...

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 ...

Response to equine cardiac adverse events during sports

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Cardiac adverse events and sudden death are a feared scenario for equine veterinarians, with serious consequences for animal health, riders' safety and the social licence to operate equestrian sports. The response to equine cardiac adverse events (CAEs) during sports is poorly defined.

Treatment of supraventricular tachycardia in infants: analysis of a large multicenter database

Early Human Development, 2015
Objective Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common arrhythmia in infants. Infants are typically treated with antiarrhythmic medications, but there is a lack of evidence guiding management, thus exposing infants to risks of both inadequate ...

The Electrophysiology Experience in Patients With Ebstein's Anomaly Undergoing the da Silva Cone Repair at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The da Silva Cone repair (CR) has demonstrated to be an effective intervention for Ebstein's anomaly (EA). Perioperative management can be complicated by arrhythmias, but previous studies showed improvement with preoperative catheter and intraoperative surgical ablation.

Conversion of sustained supraventricular tachycardia into sinus rhythm after stellate ganglion block: A case report and pathophysiological considerations

Journal of International Medical Research
Considering the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the autonomic nervous system of the heart, therapy by means of stellate ganglion block may be a logical additional treatment option in certain cases of heart rhythm disorders.

Is narrow qrs complex tachyarrythmia always from supraventricular?

Majalah Kedokteran Andalas, 2019
Idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (previously known as fascicular VT) is characterized by right bundle branch block (RBBB) left axis ventricular tachycardia (VT) with a relatively narrow QRS (120–140 ms) in young patients and sensitive to verapamil.
