Abstract

Late potentials (LP) on the signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG) are predictive of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in patients with ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Cardiac dysfunction, both regional and global, as well as supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias are reported in a high percentage of patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF). The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of LP and the effects of haemodialysis on the SAECG of ESRF patients. SAECG was recorded immediately before and within 30 min after the end of dialysis in 48 patients in sinus rhythm, free of conduction disturbances on ECG and of signs of congestive heart failure. Serum electrolytes were sampled together with the SAECG recordings. An echo-Doppler exam was performed within 2 weeks of the study. SAECGs were adequate for analysis in 45/48 patients. LP were present when at least two of the following criteria were fulfilled: QRS duration < or = 115 ms, LAS40 < or = 38 ms, RMS40 > or = 38 microV at 40 Hz high pass bidirectional filter, and noise <0.7 microV. LP were detected in 12/45 patients (25%) on the SAECG before dialysis; of these 12 patients, seven had a history of a previous myocardial infa...Continue Reading

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.

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.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.
