introduction: recent studies have shown acute cardioprotective effects of cyclosporine. the aim of the present study was to determine the protective role of cyclosporine on the model simulated the rotational nodal arrhythmia (avnrt) by using extracellular field potential recordings of isolated atrioventricular-node (av-node) of rabbit. methods: this study was performed on isolated double-perfus...

BACKGROUND Ambulatory outpatients (n = 150) with a history of paroxysmal supraventricular arrhythmia were studied to establish the characteristics of the first recurrence of symptomatic tachycardia (time to first recurrence, heart rate during tachycardia, and observed rhythm that was regular versus irregular) when no antiarrhythmic drug was being taken. Baseline variables were examined to asses...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Supraventricular arrhythmias are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, this condition has received little attention in patients on hemodialysis. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence of intradialysis supraventricular arrhythmia and its long-term prognostic value. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We designed an obs...

We experienced conversion of supraventricular arrhythmia to normal sinus rhythm in three patients during general anesthesia using propofol and remifentanil. This may be related to direct inhibition of the cardiac conduction system or activation of the parasympathetic system. The literature review suggests that propofol and remifentanil have antiarrhythmic potential, reverting supraventricular a...

BACKGROUND Supraventricular cardiac arrhythmias are the most common rhythm disturbances in patients following thoracic surgery. The purpose of our study was to determine which of the clinical parameters are the most valuable in predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) after lung surgery. METHODS Retrospective analysis was carried out on 987 patients after noncardiac thoracic surgery ...

introduction: treatment of supraventricular arrhythmia includes wide range of medical interventions. herbal remedies are suitable alternatives for synthetic drugs due to their availability, minimal side effects and lower price. pharmacological studies and traditional medical literature point to the cardiovascular effects of the artemisia absinthium l. from compositae family of plants. methods: ...
