Parasystolic arrhythmias

Kardiologiia

Abstract

The observation was conducted in 24 patients with parasystolic arrhythmias, 13 of them having parasystolic extrasystoles, and 11--paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal parasystolic tachycardia. Ventricular parasystole was found in 21 patients, atrial--in 3, atrioventricular--in 2; three patients had double parasystole with two ectopic centers. In the majority of patients their parasystole took a persistent, but relatively benign course, however one patient with ventricular parasystolic tachycardia persisting for many years had repeated ventricular fibrillations. For the treatment of supraventricular parasystolic arrhythmias beta-adrenergic receptors blocking agents, Isoptine, cardiac glycosides were used; in ventricular parasystole the more effective drugs are Lidocain, Novocainamid, Ajmalin.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.

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.
