Arrhythmia-Induced Cardiomyopathy. A Palestinian Experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 20 year-old male was admitted with a history of recurrent palpitations from 5 years. Baseline ECG revealed premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) delta waves. Stress showed short non-sustained Ventricular tachycardia (VT). Echocardiography moderate dilation the left ventricle mild reduced systolic function and Ejection fraction estimated to be 42%. Right mildly dilated hypokinetic. Both atria were dilated. The patient referred CVC for EP study possible ablation. ablation focus led complete suppression ectopy. Post-procedure echocardiography normalized rhythm function.

INTERFERON INDUCED CARDIOMYOPATHY: CASE REPORTS
There are few reports concerning interferon induced myocardial dysfunction. A known case of multiple myeloma who was receiving interferon alpha (IFA) for 14 months was brought to the emergency room in frank: pulmonary edema. After treatment of heart failure and discontinuation of interferon alpha, he remained asymptomatic thereafter. Another case of chronic active hepatitis on IFA complain...
متن کاملAdvances in Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology Premature Ventricular Contraction-Induced Cardiomyopathy A Treatable Condition
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are early depolarizations of the myocardium originating in the ventricle. They are often seen in association with structural heart disease and represent increased risk of sudden death,1 yet they are ubiquitous, even in the absence of identifiable heart disease.1,2 They may cause troubling and sometimes incapacitating symptoms such as palpitations, chest...

متن کاملSERIOUS ARRHYTHMIA INDUCED BY TERFENADINE-ERYTHROMYCIN INTERACTIONS
Since the introduction of our local manufacturing of terfenadine, we have observed and expressed our concern about a small but increasing number of serious ventricular arrhythmias associated with the use of this non sedating antihistamine. In January 1997 a case of torsade de pointes ventricular tachycardia was detected in a previously healthy woman taking terfenadine with erythromycin. El...
متن کاملAconitine-induced cardiac arrhythmia.
Renewed interest in the pharmacological action of aconitine has followed the work of Sherf (1947), Prinzmetal et al. (1950 and 1951), and Brown and Acheson (1952). Its use in experimental medicine produces stimulus formation in the dog's heart with auricular tachycardia and in certain circumstances ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation: it has become a useful tool in the hands of the researc...
