Atrial fibrillation following physostigmine.
The side effects of physostigmine, a tertiary amine anticholinesterase agent commonly used to treat postanaesthetic depression caused by a large number of drugs, are thought to be fairly mild. A case is reported in which atrial fibrillation followed a total dose of 2 mg of this drug to a patient who was slow in recovering from a general anaesthetic. The arrhythmia was self-limiting and required...
متن کاملAtrial Tachycardias Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
One of the most important proarrhythmic complications after left atrial (LA) ablation is regular atrial tachycardia (AT) or flutter. Those tachycardias that occur after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation can cause even more severe symptoms than those from the original arrhythmia prior to the index ablation procedure since they are often incessant and associated with rapid ventricular response. D...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation cardioversion following acupuncture
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and it is an independent risk for serious events. Acupuncture has been growing in popularity in the West, and there are reports of its benefits in treating AF. We report a 57-year-old man who was admitted after having an allergic reaction to amiodarone administered to treat paroxysmal AF with fast ventricular response. Cardioversion with in...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation following electrical injury.
The development of atrial fibrillation in 2 patients, following an electrical shock is reported. One patient, with an underlying pre-excitation syndrome, had to be cardioverted due to rapid ventricular rate and hypotension. The other, with normal conduction, tolerated the arrhythmia well and atrial fibrillation reverted spontaneously after 24 hours.
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
The issue of atrial fibrillation (AF) following TAVI may seem of limited interest at first sight, and this is probably the reason why this issue has not been addressed in depth so far. First, AF is usually a more important concern in mitral than in aortic valve diseases. Second, the occurrence of AF following surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass is generally interpreted as a consequence of peri...
