Abstract

Twenty-four-hour Holter ECG monitoring was conducted in 60 patients with acute myocardial infarction. Thirty patients received 2-hour intravenous creatine phosphate (CP) infusions at the rate of 4 g/hour, and the other 30 patients were taken as controls. The CP treatment was shown to reduce the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias within the first day of the attack. CP-treated patients showed significantly reduced incidence of paired extrasystoles, bigeminyes, early R-to-T extrasystoles and ventricular tachycardias, as compared to the controls.

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.
