Digitalis Intoxication Following Conversion to Sinus Rhythm

Digitalis Intoxication following Conversion to Sinus Rhythm.

IN 1963 a study was published from our laboratory concerning cardiac performance during exercise before and after conversion from atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm.' All subjects were receiving digitalis at the time of conversion. One of the findings of that study was a markedly low heart rate at exercise in sinus rhythm, much lower than expected for a group of subjects with a comparable degr...

Idioventricular Rhythm Due to Digitalis Intoxication.

The use of digitalis glycosides in sinus rhythm.

Alterations in cardiac function immediately following electrical conversion of atrial fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm.

SUMMARY An assessment was made of cardiac function by means of right heart catheterization before and immediately after conversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm in 11 studies on 10 human subjects. Comparable data during exercise were available in five studies. Medical management of patients in this study was identical to that employed routinely for this procedure. After conversion to n...

Spontaneous Conversion of Atrial Fibrillation to Normal Sinus Rhythm Following Recurrent Cerebral Infarctions

Post-stroke atrial fibrillation has been frequently reported especially in the patients with right insular infarct as an evidence of cerebrogenic mechanism affecting on cardiac rhythm. However, conversion to normal sinus rhythm after stroke in patients who had atrial fibrillation has not been reported. A 88-year-old men who had untreated atrial fibrillation was admitted to hospital due to left ...
