Hyperkalemia-induced complete heart block
Background: Potassium, as an extracellular ion, plays an important role in the electrophysiologic function of the myocardium and any change in extracellular concentration of this ion might have a marked impression upon myocyte electrophysiologic gain. High serum potassium levels are thought to impair pulse conduction in Purkinje fibers and ventricles more than that in the Atrio...
متن کاملComplete heart block and itchy rash in a patient with COVID-19
Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global crisis, as the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Complete heart block, resulting from an abnormal heart rhythm, is a rare presentation of this infection, which can be life-threatening due to possible progression into ventricular tachycardia. Case Presentation: We report a c...
متن کاملDecreased serum testosterone level was not significantly correlated with lipid indices in elderly men
Background: Aging in men causes a gradual decline in endogenous testosterone levels, which may have detrimental effects on their health status. Testosterone deficiency is thought to promote atherosclerosis by modulating lipid metabolism. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the serum testosterone level and its correlation with lipid profile in men aged ≥60 years old. Methods: All el...
متن کاملComplete heart block in patients with peroneal muscular atrophy.
Two patients with peroneal muscular atrophy who also had complete heart block are reported. The pathogenesis of heart block in one of these patients was investigated by left ventricular volume analysis which showed a normal ejection fraction, indicating intact left ventricular function. This patient in addition had a normal coronary arteriogram. These findings suggest that heart block in patien...
متن کاملPregnancy with Complete Heart Block.
Complete heart block is a conduction disorder characterized by a random relationship between the atrial and the ventricular activation where the atrial impulses are not conducted to the ventricle. The incidence of complete heart block (CHB) is estimated to be 1 in 15,000 to 20,000 live births [1]. It may be congenital or acquired. The acquired variety is rare during pregnancy as this type is mo...
