The Study of Electrocardiographic Findings in Patients with Organophosphate Poisoning
Background: Cardiac manifestations that occur in a majority of patients with organophosphate (OP) poisoning may range from innocuous electrocardiographic manifestations, such as sinus tachycardia, to life-threatening complications, including cardiogenic pulmonary edema and myocardial necrosis. In this study, we evaluated the various electrocardiographic manifestations in patients with OP pois...

speech, my title would be quite intelligible; approbate pauses, and the rise and fall of the voice, would See to that. But written as it is, it supplies some 'nnocent fun. I see the "cases" first?they have pulse ?harts and electrocardiographic tracings, but no hearts; hey have fluid outputs but they do not go to the lava0ry; their faces are merely something in the way of a v'ew of the pituitary...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic findings and frequency of arrhythmias in Bartter's syndrome.
Twenty four hour electrocardiograms in 20 patients with Bartter's syndrome, a disorder associated with chronic potassium deficiency, were analysed for atrial and ventricular extrasystoles, pauses (RR interval greater than 2 s), and heart rate. The 12 lead resting electrocardiogram was also evaluated. There were slight electrocardiographic changes with ST segment depression (greater than or equa...
متن کاملThe incidence of bradyarrhythmias and clinical bradyarrhythmic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with ticagrelor or clopidogrel in the PLATO (Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes) trial: results of the continuous electrocardiographic assessment substudy.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether ticagrelor increased the risk of ventricular pauses compared with clopidogrel and whether these pauses were associated with any clinical bradycardic events in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes. BACKGROUND Ticagrelor, an oral reversibly binding P2Y(12) inhibitor, provides more potent and consistent inhibition of platelet...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic manifestation of digoxin toxicity in a Pomeranian dog
This case report describes several electrocardiographic findings in an 8-years old female Pomeranian dog that was referred with a history of digoxin overdose. Electrocardiographic abnormalities detected in this case could be classified as primary electrocardiographic disturbances, reflecting cardiac chamber enlargement and secondary ECG changes, attributed to digoxin toxicity. ECG manifestatio...
