Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia with Block Around the Ectopic Pacemaker

Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia with Block around the Ectopic Pacemaker. Report of a Case.

Pacemaker therapy in sino-atrial block complicated by paroxysmal tachycardia.

Pacemakers were implanted in 10 of 14 patients with dizziness and syncopal episodes of long duration, due to sino-atrial block. Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, notably atrial fibrillation, had occurred in 6 patients. Medical treatment was unsatisfactory in 3 of these and pacemaker therapy was given. This abolished both syncope and paroxysmal tachycardia. Sinoatrial block and supraventr...

Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia with exit block.

[Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia with atrio-ventricular block].

PAROXYSMAL atrial tachyeardia with atrioventricular block (PAT with block) has been recognized more often in recent years since Lown and Levine clarified its diagnostic criteria and emphasized its important relation to digitalis excess.1' 2 The present report was prompted by the increasing frequency with which this diagnosis has been made at our hospital and its common association with chronic ...

CLINICAL PROGRESS Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia with Block

THE digitalis drugs can produce nearly everv form of disturbed heart rhythmi. Thus far elinical attention has been directed to the venitricular effects. Digitalis-induced ventricular arrhythmias are therefore clearly catalogued and are recognized as of potentially grave signifieance. Recent studies indicate that certaiin atrial disorders are also imaniifestations of serious digitalis poisoning....
