Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients with Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Findings from the Gulf Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (Gulf SCAD) Registry.

Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of acute coronary syndrome in young women, with a wide clinical spectrum of severity. Ventricular arrhythmia (VA) can occur and worsen prognosis. The current study compared in-hospital and follow-up adverse cardiovascular events in patients with and without VA at presentation. Eighty-three cases of SCAD were collected retrospectively from 4 Gulf countries (KSA, UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain) during the period from January 2011 to December 2017. We divided the patients into 2 groups: those with and without VA at presentation. VA was defined as ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation. In-hospital (recurrent VA, cardiogenic shock, death, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placement, dissection extension) and follow-up (MI, de novo SCAD, death, spontaneous superior mesenteric artery dissection) events were compared among the 2 groups. The median age of patients in the study was 44 (37-55) years. Forty-two (51%) were women. VA occurred in 10 (12%) patients in the first 24-hour of hospitalization, and 5 (50%) of those patients had recurrent in-hospital VA. Among those with recurrent VA, 1 died during hospitalization and 1 died within the ...Continue Reading

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.

Cardiogenic Shock

Cardiogenic shock is a devastating consequence of acute myocardial infarction and is associated with an extremely high mortality. Here is the latest research.
