Management of Ventricular Tachycardia
نویسنده
چکیده
PROPER MANAGEMENT of ventricular tachycardia (VT) should take into consideration: (1) the type of VT (nonsustained or sustained, monomorphic or polymorphic), (2) the probable electrophysiologic mechanism, (3) the anatomic and functional substrates (minimal or no structural heart disease or organic heart disease, normal or depressed ventricular function), and (4) the clinical presentation (palpitation, presyncope/ syncope, in other words, hemodynamically stable or unstable). While nonsustained VT in the presence of minimal or no structural heart disease may be benign and requires no further management, a hemodynamically unstable VT is potentially lethal and requires specific management steps.

Emergency diagnosis and management of common pediatric tachyarrhythmia
Tachycardia is common in the pediatric age group. The most commonly seen arrhythmias in children are sinus tachycardia. However, supraventricular tachycardia is the most common tachyarrhythmia that necessitates treatment. Ventricular tachycardia is rare in healthy children but may be associated with sudden cardiac death. The important risk factors that predispose children for arrhythmias inclu...

Objective: In ventricular arrhythmias, due to their free radical scavenging action, antioxidant agents are usually used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Since stress is considered as risk factor for increased mortality by causing malignant arrhythmias, the study was designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of ellagic acid (EA) on CaCl2-induced arrhythmias in rat stress model...

This study evaluates the discriminative power of sequential spectrum analysis of the short-term electrocardiogram (ECG) time series in separating normal and subjects with life threatening arrhythmias like, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF). The raw ECG time series is transformed into a series of binary symbols and the binary occupancy or relative distribution of mono-sequences (i.e. ...

Introduction Iron-overload cardiomyopathy is a rare condition that is associated with ventricular arrhythmias. The appropriate management of patients presenting with iron-overload cardiomyopathy and ventricular tachycardia often has to be individualized. We present a case of a young man presenting with life-threatening ventricular tachycardia as a result of iron-overload cardiomyopathy and disc...
