Supraventricular tachycardia after orthotopic cardiac transplantation.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to define the incidence, mechanisms, and management, including catheter ablation, of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in a large series of patients after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT). BACKGROUND Supraventricular arrhythmias are frequently encountered after OHT, but their characteristics in this population have not been well established. M...
متن کاملConcealed Conduction
Concealed conduction is a phenomenon which could be rarely seen on the surface of electrocardiography (ECG). The surface ECG must be evaluated carefully for determination of concealed conduction. Because concealed conduction manifests itself in different shape and level. This evaluation could prevent misdiagnosis and unappropriate treatment. In this chapter we want to contribute to understandin...
متن کاملConcealed conduction.
THE CONCEPT of concealed conduction was introduced into electrocardiography to explain a lengthening of, or change in, the refractory period of the atrioventricular conduction system caused either by atrial activity that fails to propagate to the ventricles or by ventricular activity that fails to reach the atria. Standard electrocardiograms do not provide a direct demonstration of the partial ...
متن کاملIntrauterine management of fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with cardiac failure.
Fetal arrhythmias are not uncommon in pregnancy. The diagnosis can be established on routine ultrasound scan. Fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common cause of fetal tachycardia. If left undiagnosed and untreated, these fetuses may develop cardiac failure, hydrops fetalis and eventually death. We report two fetuses diagnosed antenatally to have fetal SVT. Both fetuses were in...
متن کاملParoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia caused by 1:2 atrioventricular conduction in the presence of dual atrioventricular nodal pathways.
One-to-two atrioventricular conduction, ie, the double response to a single sinus or atrial impulse, resulting in two QRS complexes for one P wave, is a rare manifestation of dual atrioventricular (AV) nodal pathways. This report describes the case of a 61-year-old woman with continuous episodes of supraventricular tachycardia caused by independent conduction to the ventricles of sinus impulses...
