Wide access to information and images on the internet social networks has been considered an important source of research understanding most varied clinical pathologies. As a result, term “doctor Google” was coined draw attention growing interest general population in this alternative research. The aim case report emphasize that physicians should be aware fact complementary exams available can ...

BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmias have been documented and linked to the high incidence of sudden death seen in patients with myotonic dystrophy. However, their precise mechanism is unknown, and their definitive therapy remains to be established. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 6 consecutive patients with myotonic dystrophy and sustained ventricular tachycardia by means of cardiac electrophys...

Background: It has not been yet developed a ost suitable method to treat right ventricular failure due to pulmonar artery hypertention resulted from ventricular arrhythia. Though some case reports about patients ready to heart transplant using left assist device or biventral assist device as bridge have been published in Journals, but nocase concerning application of centrifugal pump for treatm...

A 28-year-old man underwent an electrophysiologic procedure becau.se of frequent episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The baseline sinus cycle length. alrial-His (AH) interval, and His-ventricular {HV) intei-vals were 800, 90, and 40 msec, respectively. A narrow-QRS tachycardia having a cycle length of 250 to 280 msec was reproducibly induced by ventricular programmed stitnulati...

A 45-year old man presents with stable monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. He had previously been diagnosed with idiopathic fascicular ventricular tachycardia. Intravenous flecainide results in termination of his tachycardia but unmasks a latent type 1 Brugada ECG pattern not seen on his resting ECG. We discuss his subsequent management and the need to consider an alternative diagnosis in indi...

A case of sotalol-induced polymorphous ventricular tachycardia (torsade de pointes) is presented. The patient had moderately prolonged Q-T interval before medication with sotalol with further prolongation after application of this drug. Electrophysiological study during rechallenge with sotalol demonstrated a uniform ventricular tachycardia with a somewhat polymorphous onset; whether or not thi...

The relative prognostic significance of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation inducible at programmed stimulation within 1 month of acute myocardial infarction was compared in a prospective study of 403 clinically well survivors of transmural infarction who were 65 years old or younger. The prognostic significance of delayed potentials on the signal-averaged electrocardiogram was...

Although ventricular tachycardia is a well-known complication of myocardial ischaemia and may be provoked by exercise, many patients may appreciate only the angina and be unaware of the unduly rapid heart rate that precipitates it. Exercise testing is needed to show this arrhythmia and to enable treatment to be started.Twenty-three patients were found to have chronic ischaemic heart disease com...
