Background: Vasospastic angina (VA), or Prinzmetal’s angina, is characterized by symptoms of coronary angina caused by coronary vasospasm, usually in the absence of atherosclerotic changes.

Prolonged PR interval, first-degree heart block and adverse cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Objective: First-degree atrioventricular block is frequently encountered in clinical practice and is generally considered a benign process. However, there is emerging evidence that prolonged PR interval may be associated with adverse outcomes. This study

Long QT syndrome provoked by induction of general anesthesia -A case report- [PDF]
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an arrhythmogenic cardiovascular disorder resulting from mutations in cardiac ion channels. LQTS is characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization and frequently manifests itself as QT interval prolongation on the ...

Impact of atrial fibrillation on the cardiovascular system through a lumped-parameter approach [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia affecting millions of people in the Western countries and, due to the widespread impact on the population and its medical relevance, is largely investigated in both clinical and bioengineering ...

Ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation [PDF]
Cardiac arrest in children is not often due to a disturbance in rhythm that is amenable to electrical defibrillation, contrary to the situation in adults. When a shockable rhythm is present, defibrillation using an external electric shock applied at an early stage after pre-oxygenation and chest compressions is of proven efficacy. Success at conversion

Vulnerability to ventricular fibrillation [PDF]
One of the factors that favors the development of ventricular fibrillation is an increase in the dispersion of refractoriness. Experiments will be described in which an increase in dispersion in the recovery of excitability was determined during brief episodes of enhanced sympathetic nerve activity, known to increase the risk of fibrillation.

Modern clinical retrospective on ventricular rhythm disturbances in acute myocardial infarction: Latest treatment mode according to the valid recommendations [PDF]
Ventricular arrhythmias are the most common cause of mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Arrhythmias in acute coronary syndrome occur because of unbalanced function of the autonomic nervous system, because of electrolyte status ...
