Stokes-Adams attacks in pregnancy.

Prednisone in the Treatment of Adams-stokes Attacks.

Adams-Stokes attacks are seen most frequently in patients with heart block. They are usually due to a temporary cardiac arrest not infrequently occurring when an incomplete heart block becomes complete, although a number of other irregularities may precipitate unconsciousness in these patients (Parkinson, Papp, and Evans, 1941). They occasionally occur in patients with bradycardia from other ca...

Stokes-Adams attacks with simultaneous auricular and ventricular standstill.

Adams-Stokes syndrome caused by paroxysmal third-degree atrioventricular block.

Among I70 patients with Adams-Stokes syndrome, the majority had sinus rhythm between attacks. Clinical and electrocardiographic features of 67 patients in whom syncope was caused by paroxysmal third-degree atrioventricular block are discussed. The patients had normal pulse rates between attacks, their cerebral symptoms were usually not accompanied by cardiac symptoms, and 25 per cent had no sym...

Myocardial sarcoidosis.

SARCOIDOSIS is generally regarded as a systemic disease of unknown etiology that may involve any organ in a usually benign granulomatous process. In recent years it has become apparent that the myocardium is frequently involved and may result in bizarre arrhythmias or sudden death. This paper presents a review of 28 cases proved by autopsy and adds an additional case manifested by Stokes-Adams ...

Paroxysmal Heart Block in Bundle Branch Block.

When a patient is suspected of having Stokes-Adams disease the electrocardiogram is of critical importance, particularly in respect of the auriculo-ventricular (A-V) conduction time. Should this not be prolonged, the possibility of paroxysmal heart block remains, although the diagnosis of Stokes-Adams disease is uncertain without some degree of heart block recorded graphically. It is not known ...
