Paroxysmal ventricular standstill.
Among the various rhythms reported in the course of a Stokes-Adams attack, one of the rarest is standstill of the ventricle as an episode during normal rhythm. Such a condition may be called paroxysmal ventricular standstill, and is to be distinguished from the condition of alternating complete block and normal rhythm to which the term paroxysmal heart block may be applied. Three cases of parox...
متن کاملParoxysmal Heart Block and Ventricular Standstill.
In auriculo-ventricular block the degree of impairment of conductivity is often found to be inconstant. Even at a time when the rhythm appears clinically to be normal, however, a cardiogram will usually show prolongation of the P-R interval. Only rarely is the conduction normal between the attacks, and the term " paroxysmal heart block " may then appropriately be applied. Reports of 18 such cas...
متن کاملClinical commentary Unrecognized paroxysmal ventricular standstill masquerading as epilepsy: a Stokes-Adams attack
Recognition of cardiac syncope masquerading as epilepsy may be difficult in the Emergency Department. We report a middle-aged man with recent onset convulsions who posed a diagnostic puzzle before it was found that he had paroxysmal ventricular standstill with complete atrioventricular block: he made a complete recovery after temporary pacemaker insertion. The main lessons from this case were (...

متن کاملRepetitive paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia.
Case 1. A man, aged 22, was first seen as an out-patient in May, 1958. He complained of dyspnoea on strenuous exertion but was able to lead a normal active life for a man of his age. He had never been conscious of palpitation. His heart action was known to have been irregular since childhood but otherwise he had had no relevant illness; no previous electrocardiogram had been recorded. On clinic...
