Supraventricular Tachycardia Complicating Surgical Procedures
نویسنده
چکیده
Persistent postoperative supraventricular tachycardia, despite adequate therapy, is a bad prognostic sign, and cardiac failure due to, or associated with, arrhythmia responds poorly to treatment. Of the 12 patients (24 per cent) resistent to therapy, eight developed congestive heart failure, with five dying as a result. The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors contributing to the causes of this complication are reviewed, and the therapy, course and end results are discussed.

متن کاملParoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia as first manifestation of right atrial hemangioma during endovascular treatment of intracranial arteriovenous fistulas
We report the description of a cardiac mass occupying almost the entire right atrium in a young man who developed paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia during endovascular treatment of intracranial arteriovenous fistulas. The mass was detected at echocardiographic examination, its tissue characteristics were defined with cardiac magnetic resonance and it was successfully surgically removed. T...
متن کاملPatients with supraventricular tachycardia presenting with aborted sudden death: incidence, mechanism and long-term follow-up.
A total of 13 (4.5%) of 290 patients with aborted sudden death had either documented (7; 54%) or strong presumptive evidence of supraventricular tachycardia that deteriorated into ventricular fibrillation. Six (46%) of the 13 had an accessory conduction pathway and either atrial fibrillation (5 patients) or paroxysmal atrioventricular (AV) reentrant tachycardia (1 patient) that deteriorated int...
