Atrioventricular Dissociation after Electroconvulsive Therapy
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is increasingly used as a treatment for psychiatric disorders. Cardiac effects are the principal cause of medical complications in these patients. We report a case of atrioventricular (AV) dissociation that occurred after ECT that was treated with pacemaker implantation. The mechanisms contributing to the onset of AV dissociation in this patient, and the manageme...
متن کاملCortical blindness after electroconvulsive therapy.
Electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) for mental disorders is considered to be safe and effective when administered according to standard protocols for appropriate indications.1-4 It can produce transient cognitive impairment, but not structural damage, to the brain and is remarkably free from serious complications. Deaths after ECT are reported to occur at a rate of 2 per 100,000 treatments, about...
متن کاملAtrioventricular dissociation between two atrioventricular nodal rhythms.
A case presenting with AV nodal escape rhythms after obvious sinus depression is described. The escape rhythms arise from two dissociated AV nodal pacemakers with differential physiological properties. Variation in the rate of the upper AV nodal pacemaker results in a form of escape-capture bigeminy. Temporary acceleration of the sinus rhythm results in dissociation between sinus and lower AV n...
متن کاملNo evident neuronal damage after electroconvulsive therapy.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is regarded as one of the most effective treatments for major depressive disorder but has also been associated with cognitive deficits possibly reflecting brain damage. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate whether ECT induces cerebral damage as reflected by different biochemical measures. The concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of three est...
متن کاملAtrioventricular dissociation with accrochage.
In atrioventricular dissociation the sinus and nodal pacemakers may interact with each other independently of the conducting tissues so that the slower pacemaker accelerates and passes into phase with the ventricular pacemaker, the resultant disturbance of rhythm being atrioventricular dissociation with accrochage, i.e. hooking together of P waves and QRS complexes by active physiological proce...
