Action on Induced Cardiac Standstill
نویسندگان
چکیده
The actions of norepinephrine and isopropyl norepinephrine on the rhythnic plroperty of the heart were studied and compared with that of epinephrine. Norepinephrine does not abolish cardiac stan(1still byr carotid sinus stimulation, has no effect on the ventricular rate of heart block and induces a sinus bradyeardia. Isopropyl norepinephrine acts similarly to epinephrine in that it abolishes the induced cardiac standstill, increases the ventricular rate of heart block and produces a sinus tachycardia. In the treatment of cardiac arrest, the isopropyl compound appears to possess optimum features as it is very potent in the prevention of cardiac standstill and does not predispose to ventricular fibrillation.

Background: Adenosine receptors play an important role in the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in cardiovascular system. This effect is through interaction with A1 type of G-protein-coupled adenosine receptors. The effect of N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), an A1-selective adenosine agonist, was studied on ouabain-induced toxicity in spontaneously beating isolated guinea pig a...
متن کاملOutcome in cardiac arrest patients found to have cardiac standstill on the bedside emergency department echocardiogram.
UNLABELLED Patients presenting in cardiac arrest frequently have poor outcomes despite heroic resuscitative measures in the field. Many emergency medical systems have protocols in place to stop resuscitative measures in the field; however, further predictors need to be developed for cardiac arrest patients brought to the emergency department (ED). OBJECTIVE To examine the predictive value of ...
متن کاملParoxysmal ventricular standstill.
Among the various rhythms reported in the course of a Stokes-Adams attack, one of the rarest is standstill of the ventricle as an episode during normal rhythm. Such a condition may be called paroxysmal ventricular standstill, and is to be distinguished from the condition of alternating complete block and normal rhythm to which the term paroxysmal heart block may be applied. Three cases of parox...

Coronary spasm provocation by intracoronary methylergonovine was performed in 14 patients (8 men and 6 women, mean age 56 +/- 6 years) with syncope that remained unexplained despite neurologic and noninvasive cardiac evaluations. Electrophysiologic testing was also performed in 6 of 14 patients. No patient had structural heart disease or significant fixed stenosis of greater than or equal to 75...
