Premature ventricular complex-induced chronic cough and cough syncope.
The present case study reports a case of chronic cough and cough syncope associated with frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). Careful analysis of cough-related symptoms and ECG monitoring led to the suspicion of PVC-induced cough. A coincidence between PVCs and episodes of cough was also documented by a portable multichannel recorder. Moreover, Doppler echocardiography revealed a PV...
متن کاملCough reflex by ventricular premature contractions.
A 72-year-old man was referred for further assessment of a chronic cough. He noticed an association between the episodes of coughing and palpitations. Electrocardiography (ECG) revealed normal sinus rhythm and sporadic unifocal ventricular premature contractions (VPCs). Each cough was preceded by a premature beat. Continuous wave Doppler echocardiography revealed a VPC-induced transient increas...
متن کاملCough-induced nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.
We present herein a case of cough-induced nonsustained ventricular tachycardia for which we found no definitive explanation. It could be an anomaly, but this so far unreported clinical fact is worth noting. Notwithstanding this interesting case, we believe that cough can be recommended as a safe and efficacious technique for overcoming hypotensive cardiac arrhythmias.
متن کاملChronic Cough 2 Management of chronic cough
Cough that remains unexplained after basic clinical assessment is a common reason for referral to secondary care. Much of the evidence about management of isolated chronic cough is derived from case series; this evidence suggests that isolated chronic cough is usually due to asthma, gastro-oesophageal refl ux disease, and upper airway conditions, and that it can be cured in most people by treat...
متن کاملSyncope caused by cough-induced complete atrioventricular block.
Cough syncope is a well-recognized syndrome in which loss of consciousness follows a bout of prolonged coughing. The pathophysiology of this syndrome has been attributed to lowered cerebral perfusion pressure consequent on an increased intrathoracic pressure, which lowers cardiac output (by a Valsalva mechanism) and impairs cerebral venous return. We report a case of cough-induced syncope in wh...
