چکیده
Aklthouh digitalis is known to produce a variety otrial, junctional, (1 ventricular arihythimmias, atrial flutter due to digitalis intoxication has been rarely reported. The present paper reviews the literature and reports what appears to be the sixteenth case. The available inforimmation on the accepted cases(of atrial flutter due to digitalis toxicity has been analyzed for clues as to when digitamlis ea.i he considered the cause Of

Effects of Diphenylhydantoin on Atrioventricular Conduction in Man By RICHARD
The effects of intravenous diphenylhydantoin (5 mg/kg) on atrioventricular conduction in man at controlled heart rates in the digitalized and undigitalized state were studied. In undigitalized subjects, diphenylhydantoin administration consistently decreased A-V conduction time in each individual subject when identical heart rates were compared. Ouabain infusion produced an increase in A-V cond...
متن کاملMultifocal Atrial Tachyeardia (Chaotic Atrial Tachyeardia)
Multifocal atrial tachycardia, also designated "chaotic atrial tachycardia," was identified in the records of 31 patients. It was particularly noted that the arrhythmia progressed to atrial fibrillation or flutter in 17 cases (55%). Unifocal or multifocal premature atrial contractions preceded the arrhythmia in 20 cases (64%). The arrhythmia developed during an acute illness in 18 cases (58%). ...

متن کاملCLINICAL PROGRESS Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia with Block
THE digitalis drugs can produce nearly everv form of disturbed heart rhythmi. Thus far elinical attention has been directed to the venitricular effects. Digitalis-induced ventricular arrhythmias are therefore clearly catalogued and are recognized as of potentially grave signifieance. Recent studies indicate that certaiin atrial disorders are also imaniifestations of serious digitalis poisoning....
متن کاملAtrial flutter with irregular ventricular response as a contraindication to digitalis.
ALTHOUGH atrial flutter occurs at atrial rates of 230 to 350 per minute, or faster, the ventricular response is usually at one half the atrial rate because of partial block of atrioventricular conduction. This block is of)hysiologic origin, arising from the refrac-tory period of the atrioventricular node, and it may occur without obvious cardiac disease .1-3 On the other hand, variations in the...
