Therapies for ventricular cardiac arrhythmias.
During recent years, engineers and physicists have become increasingly interested in studying the electrical activity of the heart. Despite the fact that the heart is a complex and highly nonlinear system, its electrical behavior can be studied using a variety of experimental and clinical techniques, and can be modeled mathematically using relatively simple systems of differential equations, al...
متن کاملBidirectional ventricular tachycardia in cardiac sarcoidosis☆
A 73-year-old man with history of pulmonary sarcoidosis was found to have runs of non-sustained bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BVT) with two different QRS morphologies on a Holter monitor. Cardiac magnetic resonance delayed gadolinium imaging revealed a region of patchy mid-myocardial enhancement within the left ventricular basal inferolateral myocardium. An 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positr...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of implantable cardiac defibrillators for treatment of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis.
AIMS Implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implantation is a class IIA recommendation for patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). However, little is known about the efficacy and safety of ICDs in this population. The goal of this multicentre retrospective data review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ICDs in patients with CS. METHODS AND RESULTS Electrophysiologists at academic med...
متن کاملCardiac sarcoidosis masquerading as right ventricular dysplasia.
Patients with cardiac sarcoidosis may present with clinical and morphological features similar to arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) or cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Three cases of cardiac sarcoidosis are presented that clinically mimicked ARVD or ARVC until a pathology diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made at biopsy or autopsy. A diagnostic distinction, while often difficult to make, is im...
متن کاملCardiac sarcoidosis imitating arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
Isolated manifestation of sarcoidosis in the heart is very rare. The present work describes the case of a 41-year-old woman with ventricular tachycardia and severe symptoms of heart failure in June 2006. Clinical, MRI and echocardiographic findings revealed the diagnosis of an arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. Due to the severe progression of the disease, cardiac transplantation was p...
