背景情况:
- 患有左心室 (LV) 功能障碍的患者面临心室失常 (VA) 的风险增加.
- 植入式心脏转移器除器 (ICD) 和心脏再同步治疗 (CRT) 用于预防,但CRT设备的选择是具有挑战性的.
- CRT可以降低VA风险,需要更好的患者分层.
研究的目的:
- 评估接受CRT或ICD治疗的LV功能障碍患者的分层风险的新型VA风险评分.
- 为了确定得分在预测VA事件中的有用性,在初级预防队列.
主要方法:
- 分析了678名患有LV功能障碍和CRT/ICD设备的患者队列.
- 记录了VA事件,并根据临床因素计算了VA风险得分.
- 评分对VA风险分层的能力在CRT和ICD患者组中进行了评估.
主要成果:
- 在CRT患者中,VA风险得分显著分层化VA风险 (P<0.01),但在ICD患者中没有 (P=0.24).

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm
2.5K
Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm caused by a defect in the heart's conduction system. It can cause the heart to beat irregularly, too quickly, or too slowly, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting. Factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, certain drugs, congenital defects, diseases, and electrolyte abnormalities can trigger arrhythmias.

Dysrhythmias II: Classification of Tachyarrhythmias
496
Tachyarrhythmias are a type of dysrhythmia where the heart rate exceeds 100 beats per minute. Here are some common types of tachyarrhythmias:Sinus TachycardiaSinus tachycardia originates from increased impulses from the sinus node, leading to an elevated heart rate. It is often triggered by stress, fever, or exercise.Patients may experience palpitations, a sensation of a racing heart, dizziness, and chest discomfort.Causes and Risk Factors: Common causes include physical exertion, emotional...

Dysrhythmia management involves a multifaceted approach, incorporating pharmacological treatments, medical procedures, surgical interventions, lifestyle modifications, and patient education.Pharmacological ManagementAntiarrhythmic Drugs:Class I (Sodium Channel Blockers): This class includes quinidine and procainamide, which reduce the speed of impulse conduction in the heart, stabilize the cardiac membrane, and control arrhythmias. Quinidine and procainamide are Class IA agents that prolong the...

Arrhythmia is a condition characterized by an irregular heart rhythm, with ECG changes that differ based on its origin and nature. The types of arrhythmias discussed below include atrial, junctional, and ventricular arrhythmias.Atrial ArrhythmiasPremature Atrial Complexes (PACs): PACs are early atrial beats caused by stress, caffeine, alcohol, electrolyte imbalances, hypoxia, hyperthyroidism, or certain medications (e.g., bronchodilators and decongestants). The ECG shows early P waves with an...

Mechanism of Cardiac Arrhythmias
1.6K
Arrhythmias are irregular heart rhythms occurring when the heart's electrical impulses become abnormal. These disturbances can lead to various symptoms, depending on their severity and the underlying cause. Some common factors contributing to arrhythmias include hypoxia, ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, excessive catecholamine exposure, drug toxicity, and muscle overstretching. Arrhythmias can be classified into two main types based on the rate and site of origin of abnormal heart rhythms.
