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 کاملLife threatening ventricular dysrhythmias:
Cardiac arrhythmias following acute myocardial infarction are often fatal. Although commonly used antiarrhythmics are usually effective, some patients develop dysrhythmias that are refractory to these medications. This article discusses the use and contraindications of bretylium tosylate, a relatively new antiarrhythmic drug that has been shown to be effective in reversing dysrhythmias that wer...
متن کاملEffect of gallic acid on electrophysiological properties and ventricular arrhythmia following chemical-induced arrhythmia in rat
Objective(s): Ventricular arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are the most important causes of mortality rate. Gallic acid (GA) has beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of GA on electrophysiological parameters such as QRS complex, heart rate (HR), PR interval pa...
