Frequent premature ventricular contractions.
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are considered normal in many circumstances but can act as markers to other cardiac disease such as cardiomyopathy and ischemic heart disease. This case is presented to illustrate frequent PVCs as a marker for serious heart disease.
متن کاملFrequency of Cardiac Arrhythmias in Patients with Aluminum Phosphide Poisoning
Background: Cardiac failure is the major lethal consequence of aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning. This study was designed to determine the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias in patients with AlP poisoning. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, patients with definitive history of AlP poisoning treated at emergency department of Allied Hospital Faisalabad, Faisalabad, Pakistan, from ...
متن کاملMultimodality Cardiac Imaging for the Assessment of Left Atrial Function and the Association With Atrial Arrhythmias.
Several cardiac imaging modalities are able to visualize the left atrium (LA) and, therefore, allow for quantification of both structural and functional properties of this cardiac chamber. In echocardiography, only the maximal LA volume is included in the assessment of diastolic function at the current moment. Numerous studies, however, have shown that functional measures may be superior to the...
متن کاملAutomatic Detection of Conducted Premature Atrial Contractions to Predict Atrial Fibrillation in Patients after Cardiac Surgery
A method was developed to automatically detect conducted Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs) from the ECG signal. The method consisted of identifying the R waves of the ECG signal, determining the irregular beats that correspond to premature beats and dissociating atrial and ventricular premature beats. The method was developed using the ECG signals from Physionet and Cardio-Vascular Intensive...
متن کاملAtrial arrhythmias after cardiac surgery: Sisyphus revisited?
The treatment of atrial arrhythmias after cardiac surgery has been an area of keen research interest over the last several years (1). Part of the motivation to find effective therapy is monetary. When atrial fibrillation or flutter (AFF) occurs postoperatively, patients remain in the hospital longer, and that costs money (2). When one considers the fact that cardiac surgery is the most common m...
