Cough-induced nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.

چکیده
We present herein a case of cough-induced nonsustained ventricular tachycardia for which we found no definitive explanation. It could be an anomaly, but this so far unreported clinical fact is worth noting. Notwithstanding this interesting case, we believe that cough can be recommended as a safe and efficacious technique for overcoming hypotensive cardiac arrhythmias.

Sequelae of nonsustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia induced during programmed ventricular stimulation.
The results of 206 programmed ventricular stimulation studies performed in 130 patients (100 men and 30 women, mean age 62 +/- 12 years, +/- standard deviation) were examined prospectively to determine the sequelae of nonsustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) induced during programmed ventricular stimulation. The clinical indication for the electrophysiologic study was either docume...
متن کاملNonsustained ventricular tachycardia in coronary artery disease: relation to inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia. MUSTT Investigators.
BACKGROUND Many physicians believe that electrocardiographic characteristics of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia correlate with the risk for sudden death in survivors of myocardial infarction. Sustained ventricular tachycardia induced by programmed electrical stimulation has also been shown to predict sudden death. OBJECTIVE To determine whether electrocardiographic characteristics of spo...
متن کاملSignificance of Inducible Nonsustained Ventricular Tachycardias After Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Noninducibility of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (SMVT) postablation does not insure absence of later recurrence in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. This study aims to determine the relation between inducible nonsustained VT postablation and VT recurrences. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred sixty-five consecutive patients (156 male; age 68±9 years) underwent abl...
متن کاملElectrophysiological studies in patients with chronic recurrent ventricular tachycardia.
Seventeen consecutive patients with chronic recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) were studied in an attempt to delineate the reproducibility and mechanism of this arrhythmia. Six patients had nonsustained and 11 had sustained VT. The following electrophysiological techniques were utilized in an attempt to reproduce VT: 1) rapid atrial and ventricular pacing (17 pts); 2) atrial extrastimulus t...
متن کاملProgrammed ventricular stimulation for arrhythmia risk prediction in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the role of programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS) for arrhythmia risk prediction in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) and spontaneous nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). BACKGROUND Nonsustained VT in patients with IDC has been associated with a high incidence of sudden cardiac death. METHODS Over the course of 4 years, 34 pati...
