The mechanism of action of diphenylhydantoin (DPH) on re-entrant ventricular arrhythmias (RVA) was studied in dogs 3-7 days following ligation of the anterior descending coronary artery utilizing direct recordings of the re-entrant pathway (RP) from the epicardial surface of the infarction zone
For the therapy of disturbances of the cardiac rhythm with phenytoin 3 different dosage regimes are examined, in which cases an oral application of phenytoin proves as not suitable. Only by a stepped infusion with following oral treatment a rapid saturation and therapeutically effective serum levels
A 65-year-old man had nightmares a few weeks after a right temporal lobe infarction. Electroencephalography showed no epileptic activity. Therapy with diphenylhydantoin produced complete remission of his symptoms. On the bases of their acute onset, their association with sleep, their occasional
After treatment with diphenylhydantoin for 2 years because of post-infarct focal motor epileptic seizures, a 35-year-old woman was admitted to hospital because of symptoms of intoxication. Almost every sign of the previous left-sided paresis and hypaesthesia had disappeared. A pronounced gingival
The influence of long-term administration of diphenylhydantoin (DPH) on glucose tolerance and insulin secretion was studied in a random controlled trial in non-epileptic patients receiving the drug for 2 years following recovery from myocardial infarction. While receiving DPH, insulin response to
Acupuncture is a well-known alternative therapy in practice worldwide. Its dramatic effect on hiccups has been rarely reported. We describe a 77-year-old male who had hiccups after an acute myocardial infarction. Despite aggressive treatment including breath-holding to interrupt the respiratory
The effects of 3-[3-(4-phenyl-1-piperidyl)propyl]-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-phenylhydantoin hydrochloride (TR 2985), a basic diphenylhydantoin derivative, were studied in four canine models of experimental cardiac dysrhythmias. In conscious dogs, 48 h after myocardial infarction, TR 2985 significantly
The author describes the notions that led to initiation of controlled trials of long-term medication with antiarrhythmic drugs following myocardial infarction, and reviews reports of controlled trials with diphenylhydantoin, alprenolol, and procaine amide. It is concluded that, so far as possible
To clarify the characteristics of vasopressin (AVP) secretion in patients with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) related to central nervous system disorders, we examined the response of AVP secretion to osmotic stimulus by hypertonic saline infusion and analyzed the possible
