Chronic Auricular Tachycardia.

Kimura’s Disease: A Case Report and Review of Literatures

Kimura’s disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder primarily seen in male Asians during the second and third decades of life. Clinically, it presents as solitary or multiple subcutaneous nodules, predominantly in the head and neck region, typically in the pre auricular region, forehead, and scalp. The etiology of Kimura disease is still unknown. This disorder should be suspected when the ...

Malignant auricular arrhythmia.

Abnormal foci in the auricles, from which the cardiac impulse may arise, beget various types of arrhythmia. Three main groups may be distinguished, namely, ectopic beats, auricular tachycardia (of slower or faster rate), and auricular fibrillation. Although the deranged auricular function is fundamentally similar in each variety, there are reasons for regarding the groups as separate nosologica...

The Relation of the Auricular Activity following Faradization of the Dog's Auricle to Abnormal Auricular Activity in Man

The tumultuous auricular activity which follows faradization of the auricles of mammals and which has been variously described, could be distinctly seen to consist almost constantly in our experiments on dogs of true fibrillatory movements of the separate muscle fibers coëxisting with a rapid auricular tachycardia. During peripheral stimulation of the right vagus nerve the true fibrillation alo...

Procaine amide therapy in auricular flutter with 1:1 A-V conduction.

Procaine amide hydrochloride was first introduced clinically by Mark et al. (1950). They drew attention to its effectiveness in the control of ventricular arrhythmias, especially paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia. This has since been amply confirmed. It is the drug of choice in the treatment of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, taking precedence over the more toxic and unpredictable quinidin...

[Severe tachycardiomyopathy and thrombus in the left atrial appendage--a case report].

We describe a case of severe left ventricular (LV) heart failure caused by tachycardiomyopathy with concomitant presence of unsolved thrombus in left atrial appendage despite effective oral anticoagulant treatment. Successful ablation of atrial flutter and atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia entailed resolution of heart failure symptoms and normalisation of LV function.
