[Intraoperative coronary artery spasm with cardiac arrest: cardiologic acute intervention].

Der Anaesthesist

Abstract

Ventricular fibrillation occurred intraoperatively during a laparoscopy-assisted resection of the rectum in a 63-year-old patient. A coronary artery spasm was identified as the cause. It was possible to rectify the coronary artery spasm and restore a stable circulatory situation with an intracoronary injection of nitroglycerine. Excellent interdisciplinary cooperation combined with favourable timing and spatial conditions, made this outcome possible for the patient without neurological deficits. In addition to presenting the actual treatment procedure, possible underlying pathogenetic mechanisms will also be presented.

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.

Antianginal Drugs: Mechanisms of Action

Antianginal drugs, including nitrates, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers, are used in the treatment of angina pectoris. Here is the latest research on their use and their mechanism of action.
