Accelerated acute clonidine withdrawal syndrome during coronary artery bypass surgery. A case report

British Journal of Anaesthesia

Abstract

A patient with essential hypertension treated with clonidine developed accelerated acute clonidine withdrawal syndrome during coronary artery bypass surgery. There were recurring hypotensive and hypertensive episodes. The hypotension was associated with myocardial ischaemia, cardiac arrhythmia and ventricular fibrillation, and was treated successfully with i.v. calcium chloride given at the onset of hypotension.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
