Treatment of chronic symptomatic supraventricular bradyarrhythmias with transdermal scopolamine

Chest
V MukerjiP D King

Abstract

The management of symptomatic bradyarrhythmias can be challenging in patients in whom cardiac pacing is not indicated, such as in the terminally ill or severely demented. We applied a transdermal scopolamine patch on one such patient with resultant substantial improvement in his supraventricular bradyarrhythmia.

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

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.
