VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS IN THE ELDERLY

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1998
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a significant medical problem in the United States. The incidence of SCD increases with advancing age because cardiovascular disease is more prevalent in the elderly. Management of ventricular arrhythmias in the elderly patient is especially challenging because of increased risk of interventional and pharmacologic ...

Ventricular arrhythmias in the athlete

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2001
Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in the athlete nearly always occur in the presence of structural heart disease. In the last few years, 2 new causes of life-threatening arrhythmias have been described in patients with normal hearts-that of the Brugada syndrome and that of commotio cordis.

Mexiletine for ventricular arrhythmias

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1981
Abstract Mexiletine, a new antiarrhythmic agent derived from lidocaine and available in oral form, was utilized in 108 patients with chronic and symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia. Recurrent ventricular tachycardia was present in 83 patients and considered refractory to antiarrhythmic therapy in 72.

Pharmacotherapy in Ventricular Arrhythmias

Cardiology, 2023
Background: Ventricular ectopy is observed in most of the population ranging from isolated premature ventricular contractions to rapid hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachyarrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.

Treatment of ventricular arrhythmias

Current Problems in Cardiology, 1988
Within the past 20 years, our knowledge concerning the epidemiology, natural history, and treatment of VT has expanded greatly. A variety of effective pharmacologic, surgical and electrical therapies for VT are now available to the clinician. Patients who present with ventricular tachyarrhythmias should undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation ...

Surgery for ventricular arrhythmia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1990
Years of frustration of cardiac surgeons attempting to control intractable ventricular arrhythmia finally ended when the team of Harken, Josephson, and Horowitz performed electrophysiologically directed left ventricular endocardial resection and reported their early results 10 years ago.

Stroke and ventricular arrhythmias

International Journal of Cardiology, 2013
Electrocardiographic abnormalities and cardiac arrhythmias are commonly noted after acute stroke. Risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias is increased after a stroke and is associated with sudden cardiac death. Autonomic imbalance modulated by direct injury to neurogenic structures and enhanced by catecholamine storm can lead to myocardial damage and

Pindolol for ventricular arrhythmia

American Heart Journal, 1982
The role of pindolol in treating ventricular arrhythmia was studied in 43 patients with this disorder. Of these patients, 23 had coronary heart disease, 5 had valvular disease, and 15 had no demonstrable heart disease. patients underwent acute drug testing with 20 mg pindolol (phase 1) followed by maintenance therapy (phase 2) for 3 days (20 to 80 mg ...

Acecainide for Ventricular Arrhythmias

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
To the Editor.— I would like to comment on the MEDICAL NEWS article entitled "Alter Drug Structure-Avert Induced Lupus" (1981;246:1634) that dealt with the efficacy of acecainide hydrochloride, chemically known as N -acetylprocainamide, in treating ventricular arrhythmias. It was of great interest to learn about Marcus A.

Ablation of ventricular arrhythmias

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2014
Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) commonly occur in patients with structural heart disease and may present as ventricular premature depolarizations (VPDs), monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), or polymorphic VT/ventricular fibrillation. Idiopathic VAs can also occur in patients with normal hearts.
