Diclofenac Prolongs Repolarization in Ventricular Muscle with Impaired Repolarization Reserve [PDF]
Background: The aim of the present work was to characterize the electrophysiological effects of the non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drug diclofenac and to study the possible proarrhythmic potency of the drug in ventricular muscle.

Left ventricular hypertrophy in arterial hypertension and arrhythmia risk [PDF]
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an important, independent risk factor for not only total and cardiovascular mortality, but also for sudden cardiac death. Following blood pressure increase in hypertrophied LV, due to myocardial diastolic dysfunction,

Risks of Cardiac Arrhythmia and Mortality Among Patients Using New-Generation Macrolides, Fluoroquinolones, and beta-Lactam/beta-Lactamase Inhibitors: A Taiwanese Nationwide Study [PDF]
Background. Previous studies have demonstrated increased cardiovascular mortality related to azithromycin and levofloxacin. Risks associated with alternative drugs in the same class, including clarithromycin and moxifloxacin, were unknown.

A Statistical Model for Risk Stratification on the Basis of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Heart-Rate Turbulence [PDF]
The MPIP data set was used to obtain a model for mortality risk stratification of acute myocardial infarction patients. The predictors heart rate turbulence (HRT) and left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were employed. HRT was a categorical variable

Duration of heart failure and the risk of atrial fibrillation: different mechanisms at different times? [PDF]
Chronic heart failure increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), with the prevalence of AF paralleling the severity of heart failure.1 Factors that underlie this increased susceptibility to AF may include electrical, structural, and neurohumoral ...

Cisapride and ventricular arrhythmia [PDF]
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT • Case reports have linked cisapride to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death.• However, two prior epidemiological studies have failed to show an association between cisapride and serious arrhythmia.
