Loperamide Induced Life Threatening Ventricular Arrhythmia
Loperamide is over-the-counter antidiarrheal agent acting on peripherally located μ opioid receptors. It is gaining popularity among drug abusers as opioid substitute. We report a case of a 46-year-old male that was presented after cardiac arrest. After ruling out ischemia, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary embolism, central nervous system pathology, sepsis, and other drug toxicity, we found out that p...
متن کاملLife-threatening ventricular arrhythmia recognition by nonlinear descriptor
BACKGROUND Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are ventricular cardiac arrhythmia that could be catastrophic and life threatening. Correct and timely detection of VT or VF can save lives. METHODS In this paper, a multiscale-based non-linear descriptor, the Hurst index, is proposed to characterize the ECG episode, so that VT and VF can be recognized as different from...
متن کاملPseudohypoaldosteronism in a neonate presenting as life-threatening arrhythmia
UNLABELLED Neonatal hyperkalemia and hyponatremia are medical conditions that require an emergent diagnosis and treatment to avoid morbidity and mortality. Here, we describe the case of a 10-day-old female baby presenting with life-threatening hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, and metabolic acidosis diagnosed as autosomal dominant pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1). This report aims to recognize t...
متن کاملPrediction of life-threatening arrhythmia in patients after myocardial infarction by late potentials, ejection fraction and Holter monitoring.
In order to compare the prognostic significance of late potentials (LPs) on signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SA-ECG), left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and 24-hour Holter monitoring (HM) following myocardial infarction, a prospective study on 60 patients (age 61.7 +/- 8.02 years old) just after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was done. LPs, EF and HM were performed in all patients. Co...
متن کاملLong QT syndrome and life threatening arrhythmia in a newborn: molecular diagnosis and treatment response.
Intrauterine and neonatal manifestations of congenital long QT syndrome are associated with a high cardiac risk, particularly when atrioventricular block and excessive QT prolongation (> 600 ms(1/2)) are present. In a female newborn with these features, treatment with propranolol and mexiletine led to complete reduction of arrhythmia that was maintained 1.5 years later. High throughput genetic ...
