Pyrogen reaction and conversion of sustained ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm: two case reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Pyrogen reaction is a side effect of intravenous infusion of solution on body; sustained ventricular tachycardia is a serious arrhythmia, no relationship between them has been reported before. CASE PRESENTATION Two patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia refractory to lidocaine happened to have pyrogen reaction. The sustained ventricular tachycardia was converted to sinus rhythm after the pyrogen reaction. CONCLUSION The conversion of sustained ventricular tachycardia might be related to pyrogen reaction. The effects of pyrogen reaction on sustained ventricular tachycardia need further research.

Arrhythmias in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension; A Narrative Review of the Current Literature
Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension. Common findings in these patients were elevated right atrial pressure and diameters and reduced tricuspid annula...

Mapping-guided endocardial resection has proved to be an effective therapy for recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia. However, some patients cannot be mapped during ventricular tachycardia, so that guidance from findings during normal sinus rhythm would be highly desirable. We examined the frequency, timing, and duration of several abnormal types of electrograms recorded endocardially dur...

BACKGROUND Postoperative atrial arrhythmias are common and are associated with considerable morbidity. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vernakalant for the conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFL) after cardiac surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of vernakalant for the conve...

Vagal maneuvers cause increase in vagal tone, which has been shown to slow many types supraventricular tachycardia, such as atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the conversion of AF to sinus rhythm is usually not associated with vagal manuvers. Thus, AF is classically treated with medication and electrical cardioversion. Here, we present a 29-year-old male with no cardiovascular history and a low...
