Cardiac asystole post-exercise: a report of two cases

International Journal of Cardiology
M P van den BergK I Lie

Abstract

Two patients are described with reproducible cardiac asystole post-exercise. No structural heart disease was demonstrable. At autonomic function testing no abnormal responses were noted. Also, head-up tilt tests were normal. However, electrophysiologic testing and heart rate variability during 24-h Holter monitoring were indicative of a high vagal tone in both patients. The findings suggest that post-exertional asystole may not be due solely to a vasovagal mechanism; excessive rebound vagotonia per se may also play a role.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

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.

Antifungals (ASM)

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.
