Post-myocardial infarction mortality in patients with ventricular premature depolarizations. Canadian Amiodarone Myocardial Infarction Arrhythmia Trial Pilot Study.
BACKGROUND Among survivors of acute myocardial infarction, frequent and repetitive ventricular premature depolarizations (VPDs) detected on ambulatory monitoring contribute independently to the risk of all-cause mortality and sudden death. Apart from the beta-blockers, no antiarrhythmic drug has been reliably demonstrated to reduce mortality among patients with VPDs. A pilot study was undertake...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of ventricular arrhythmia after repair of tetralogy of Fallot: a 12-year prospective study.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic significance of ventricular arrhythmia on the ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) after repair of tetralogy of Fallot. BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmia is common after repair of tetralogy of Fallot and has been proposed as the basis for late sudden death. The prognostic significance of ventricular arrhythmia on ambulatory ECG and t...
متن کاملMyocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملEditorial: Antiarrhythmic Therapy, Ventricular Premature Depolarizations
IN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION it is generally accepted that ventricular premature depolarizations (VPDs) lead to ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VF). Therefore, suppression of VPDs should result in a lower incidence of fatal ventricular dysrhythmias. Randomized controlled trials in patients with acute myocardial infarction have demonstrated fewer episodes of VF and ventri...
متن کامل[Left ventricular aneurysm and late ventricular arrhythmia after myocardial contusion].
The incidence of myocardial contusion after blunt chest trauma is highly variable. The most frequent cause is traffic accident, and it can also result from blows to the body. These injuries can affect the free heart wall, the interventricular septum, valves, subvalvular apparatus, coronary arteries, and the atrioventricular or intraventricular conduction system, and can cause ventricular arrhyt...
