Termination of Cardiac Arrhythmias
نویسنده
چکیده
Clinically, application of electric currents to the heart has been limited to defibrillation in the operating room when the heart is exposed. In this paper technics are described for the external application of stimulating and countershock currents. They have been used successfully in man to terminate ventricular standstill from any cause and to stop ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. For experimental purposes an additional technic has been developed for producing various cardiac arrhythmiias by rapid external stimulation of the heart.

Increased AAI mode pacing threshold after termination of atrial fibrillation by acute administration of disopyramide phosphate.
AIMS We studied changes in atrial pacing threshold after termination of atrial fibrillation (AF) by acute administration of disopyramide phosphate (DP) to elucidate the suitable setting for atrial pacing output before AF termination. METHODS AND RESULTS Four patients with sick sinus syndrome implanted with AAI mode pacemakers were examined. Disopyramide phosphate (2 mg/kg body weight) was inj...
متن کاملThe prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias in horses of the Sanandaj area
Cardiac arrhythmias, caused by disorders in the generation and transmission of cardiac impulses, is included among the heart disorders that cause inefficient blood circulation. The most commonly-used method for diagnosing this disorder is electrocardiography. In this study, we aimed to identify and diagnose different types of arrhythmia prevalent among the seemingly-healthy horses of Sanandaj C...

متن کاملPreconditioning effects of oxytocin in reducing cardiac arrhythmias in a rat heart regional ischemia-reperfusion model
Abstract Introduction: Occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction are two main deleterious events that are caused by ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the heart. Cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent method of rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischemic damage. The aim of the present study was to evaluate oxytocin (OT) cardioprotective effect...

This study evaluates the discriminative power of sequential spectrum analysis of the short-term electrocardiogram (ECG) time series in separating normal and subjects with life threatening arrhythmias like, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF). The raw ECG time series is transformed into a series of binary symbols and the binary occupancy or relative distribution of mono-sequences (i.e. ...
