Polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia triggered by temporary epicardial right ventricular stimulation after cardiac surgery
Introduction Temporary epicardial pacing is commonly used for rhythmic support in the acute postoperative period after cardiac surgery. Clinical studies suggest that pacing in the left ventricular epicardium during resynchronization therapy may be proarrhythmic in a minority of patients. The epicardial pacing increases transmural heterogeneity of repolarization. This could prolong the QT and JT...
متن کاملSpontaneous coronary dissection presenting with reperfusion arrhythmia: A case report
Spontaneous coronary dissection is more commonly reported in females and is an important differential diagnosis for acute coronary syndrome. Accelerated idioventricular rhythm has been reported before with reperfusion post myocardial ischemia. We report a case of accelerated idioventricular rhythm in a patient with spontaneous coronary artery dissection. A 45-yearold Caucasian female presented ...
متن کاملInflammation markers are associated with metabolic syndrome and ventricular arrhythmia in patients with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a major role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). Inflammation markers, including white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), are widely used for cardiovascular risk prediction. The aim of the study was to establish factors associated with WBC, CRP and IL-6 in patients with CAD...
متن کاملDeterminants of arrhythmic death due to coronary spasm: effect of preexisting coronary artery stenosis on the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia.
Coronary spasm can occur in the presence or absence of coronary artery disease. We therefore determined the effect of preexisting coronary stenosis on the incidence of ventricular fibrillation during reperfusion after circumflex artery (CFX) occlusion. Twenty dogs underwent a 30-minute open-chest CFX occlusion. During reperfusion, CFX blood flow was restricted by a partial occluder. In dogs tha...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular torsion in long axis view in patients with chronic stenosis of coronary arteries
Background: Left ventricular torsion is one of the most important biomechanical parameters of heart that routinely is measured in short axis view. A review of the literature has indicated that assessment of left ventricular torsion in short axis view has some limitations. In the present study, we evaluated whether torsion angle assessment in long axis view can be used as a diagnostic biomechan...
