VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS AND HYPOKALÆMIA

The Lancet, 1976
Two cases of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia (torsade de pointes) due to chronic mild hypokalaemia, caused by hyperaldosteronism and familial periodic paralysis are described. Correction of the hypokalaemia, supplemented by mexiletine, controlled the arrhythmias.

Supraventricular and Ventricular Arrhythmias

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2013
Cardiac arrhythmias comprise of a heterogeneous group of disorders which manifest in a wide range of clinical presentations. They can be associated with underlying cardiac disease and portend a grave prognosis, with some arrhythmias being rapidly fatal.

Ventricular Arrhythmias Assessment

2007 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2007
An integrated framework for ventricular arrhythmias (VA) assessment, composed of two levels, is proposed in this work. The first level consists of four independent neural networks (NN), designed for specific detection tasks: signal quality, premature ventricular contractions (PVC), ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF).

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.

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.

Sleep and ventricular arrhythmias

American Heart Journal, 1983
Sleep is usually associated with a reduction in the frequency of ventricular arrhythmias. We analyzed 1260 24-hour Holter recordings exhibiting ventricular ectopy and identified 50 patients who had significant increases in sleep-related ectopy. This study group was compared to an age, sex, and 24-hour ventricular ectopic frequency matched control group.

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 ...

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.
