Incessant ventricular tachycardia
Among the side effects of adenosine, excitatory actions on ventricular automaticity enhanced by low concentrations of adenosine and the discharge of catecholamines are reported. The majority of adenosine-induced ventricular tachycardias (VTs) are rare, transient, not requiring further interventions and usually originate in the inferior left ventricular septum [1]. Since the coronary arteries sh...
متن کامل[Incessant ventricular tachycardia as a manifestation of myocardial ischemia].
We describe four patients with incessant ventricular tachycardia after the acute phase of a myocardial infarction. Two of them had a slow heart rate, and myocardial revascularization resolved the arrhythmia after ischemia was demonstrated. In the other two cases, very fast tachycardias were interrupted by means of intravenous verapamil and clinical stabilization was achieved after failure of am...
متن کاملCardiomyopathy induced by incessant fascicular ventricular tachycardia.
A 12-year-old girl with symptoms of fatigue, decreased exercise tolerance and progressive dyspnea (New York Heart Association functional class III) with a possible diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy secondary to viral myocarditis. Because of incessant wide QRS tachycardia refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs, she was referred for electrophysiological study. The diagnosis was idiopathic left vent...
متن کاملIncessant left ventricular tachycardia of unusual etiology
Apart from Coronary artery disease, left ventricular tachycardia may result from cardiac sarcoidosis, left ventricular tumor, chagas disease and idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia. We report a rare case of incessant left ventricular tachycardia resulting from left dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
متن کاملIncessant ventricular tachycardia: a lost case or new hope?
Editorials Incessant ventricular tachycardia: a lost case or new hope? Ventricular tachycardia remains a difficult problem in spite of all the recent advances. Anti-arrhythmic drugs continue to fail in more and more trials, and it is unlikely that we will have effective (and safe) drugs based on new principles in the near future'' 1. In contrast, the results of implantable cardioverter/ defibri...
