For example, the reciprocating tachycardias (i.e., tachyarrhythmias due to reentry within the atrioventricular [AV] node or those utilizing any of several different types of accessory connectionsl...
متن کاملIs amiodarone a safe antiarrhythmic to use in supraventricular tachyarrhythmias after lung cancer surgery?
BACKGROUND Supraventricular arrhythmias after thoracotomy for pulmonary resections are well documented. There has been considerable interest in their incidence, nature, predictability from preoperative assessment and treatment. The purpose of this study is to define prevalence, type, risk factors for post-thoracotomy supraventricular arrhythmias and to assess the efficacy of amiodarone as an an...
متن کاملBeneficial effect of intravenous diltiazem in the acute management of paroxysmal supraventricular tachyarrhythmias.
We tested the effectiveness and safety of i.v. diltiazem in the management of paroxysmal supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in 39 patients, 21 with organic heart disease and seven in heart failure. Fifteen patients presented with supraventricular tachycardia, 12 with atrial fibrillation and 12 with atrial flutter. End points were conversion to sinus rhythm or slowing of the ventricular rate to 1...
متن کاملIntravenous Amiodarone for Supraventricular Arrhythmias in Children
In this issue of the Journal, Chang et al1 present a thought-provoking, single-center retrospective analysis of 37 patients receiving either procainamide or IV amiodarone for refractory supraventricular arrhythmias (SVA), excluding junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET). They compare the relative efficacy of the drugs, finding procainamide to be fully successful in 50% of cases, whereas amiodaron...
