New manifestations of electrophysiological remodeling of heart during experimental model of atrial fibrillation in cirrhotic rat isolated heart
Introduction: The present study is aimed to evaluate electrophysiological remodeling of atrioventricular (AV) node and ventricular conduction during experimental atrial fibrillation (AF) model in isolated heart of cirrhotic rats. Methods: Cirrhosis-induced electrophysiological remodeling was evaluated in 24 isolated retrogradely perfused rat hearts in 2 groups (control and cirrhotic). Cirrho...
متن کاملA Case Report of Neonatal Atrial Flutter with Poor Feeding and Tachypnea
Background: Arrhythmias in neonates are not common and usually affect newborns with a normal heart or those that suffer from structural heart disease. A malignant type of arrhythmias is supraventricular tachycardia. Meanwhile, one uncommon type of supraventricular arrhythmias is atrial flutter (AFL), which is founded upon reentry mechanisms in the atrium. The AFL may result in heart failure or ...
متن کاملIonic remodeling in the heart: pathophysiological significance and new therapeutic opportunities for atrial fibrillation.
Heart disease has long been recognized to alter cardiac electrical function. Detailed studies of disease-induced remodeling of ionic transport processes that underlie ventricular electrophysiological alterations have been performed over the past 10 years, but our knowledge of atrial ionic remodeling is more limited and has emerged much more recently. The present review focuses on recent finding...
متن کاملArrhythmias 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...
متن کاملEffect of Alcohol on Heart: Case Presentation of Two Alcoholic Patients with Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy
Background: Alcohol consumption has multiple side effects on heart which can be divided to six subgroups: Heavy alcohol drinkers (80 g/day alcohol consumption) are most susceptible to cardiac complications. The aim of this study was to review alcohol side effects on heart and two present two alcoholic patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Case report: Case A: A 52 year-old man presented with ...
