Prenylamine-induced ventricular tachycardia and syncope controlled by ventricular pacing.
We describe eight patients treated for angina with prenylamine who developed life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias after QT interval prolongation. When prenylamine administration was stopped QT interval shortened to within normal values, while the ventricular arrhythmias were controlled by a temporary ventricular pacemaker and disappeared after several days. We stress the importance of surve...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias caused by left ventricular metastatic infiltration.
Metastases to the cardiac ventricles are rare and, unfortunately, often follow a rapidly fatal course.1,2 Occasionally, they cause symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) for which limited therapeutic options exist, such as antiarrhythmic drugs, whereas the use of catheter ablation, to our knowledge, has never been reported to date. We present the case of a 27-year-old man with a metastatic t...
متن کاملVentricular Arrhythmias.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is the most common form of wide complex tachycardia and is associated with a high mortality rate. Electrocardiographic analysis remains paramount in diagnosis and helps to direct therapy. Antiarrhythmic agents, although effective in reducing arrhythmia burden, have never demonstrated a mortality benefit. The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator aids not only in th...
متن کاملAn interesting implantable cardioverter defibrillator treatment for lethal ventricular arrhythmias caused by coronary artery spasm
RATIONALE Coronary artery spasm (CAS) could cause serious lethal ventricular arrhythmias. While implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have been recommend for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death related to lethal ventricular arrhythmias. However, in resuscitated sudden cardiac death caused by CAS, the effect of ICD is still not well clear. PATIENT CONCERNS A 60-year-old male ...
متن کاملSuppression of Ventricular Arrhythmias by Propafenone,
The responsiveness of ventricular tachycardia (VT) to propafenone, a new antiarrhythmic agent, was evaluated in the conscious dog during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). AMI was produced in the anesthetized closed-chest dogs with an intracoronary catheter system by permanent occlusion in eight dogs and by 2-hour occlusion followed by reperfusion ofthe left anterior descending coronary artery ...
