Successful electrical pacing for complete heart block complicating diphtheritic myocarditis.
A case of severe diphtheria complicated by myocarditis and neurorespiratory paralysis is reported. The myocarditis manifested with severe conduction disturbances including left bundle-branch block and high grade second degree atrioventricular block leading to Adams-Stokes attacks. Temporary transvenous electrical pacing for.3 days was successful in the management of this complication, but posit...
متن کاملHeart Block with Aneurysm of the Aortic Sinus.
Disturbances of conduction in the heart may be purely functional, when for example demands are made on the conduction path very early in diastole as seen in blocked and aberrantly conducted auricular extrasystoles (Scherf and Boyd, 1940), or when too many stimuli are presented for conduction within a short time as with the incomplete A-V block that always exists in auricular fibrillation. Condu...
متن کاملHeart Block and the Simulation of Bundle Block in Diphtheria.
Cardiographic studies in diphtheria show that a wide variety of arrhythmias and abnormalities of pattern occur. Among these heart block is familiar, not so much because it is common, but because in its more severe forms it indicates a grave prognosis. Burkhardt, Eggleston, and Smith (1938) recorded 11 cases of A-V dissociation, all fatal; some presented a terminal ventricular tachycardia. They ...
متن کاملComplete heart block in children; report of three cases possibly attributable to measles.
Heart block, congenital or acquired, is an uncommon condition in childhood; as a sequel to measles it is extremely rare. The three cases bere reported are, therefore, of some interest, as in all three there is evidence ofcomplete heart block having developed either during or shortly after an attack of measles. Furthermore, although Case 1 has since died, all three survived the immediate effects...
متن کاملHyperkalemia-induced complete heart block
Background: Potassium, as an extracellular ion, plays an important role in the electrophysiologic function of the myocardium and any change in extracellular concentration of this ion might have a marked impression upon myocyte electrophysiologic gain. High serum potassium levels are thought to impair pulse conduction in Purkinje fibers and ventricles more than that in the Atrio...
