Abstract

A new muscle relaxant, fazadinio bromide, has been administered to 10 heart patients awaiting surgery and its induction utility assessed. A constant though non-significant increase in heart frequency, a significant reduction in maximum and a non-significant reduction in minimum arterial pressure were recorded. No arrythmia or changes in effort-induced cardiac index were seen. The short latency period and myoresolution characteristics permitted speedy, atraumatic intubation. While these features and the absence of arrhythmia suggest the drug might have some clinical utility, tachycardia and arterial hypotension limit its use in heart patients.

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.
