BACKGROUND
In patients with common atrial flutter (CAF), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) causes discomfort. Patients undergoing RFA often feel pain which is difficult to control as the mechanisms are unclear.
OBJECTIVE
Inhaled nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent sedative-analgesic-anxiolytic agent that
Atraumatic rupture of the normal spleen is a rare entity. Often, a triggering factor or minor physical event can be ascribed as the aetiology for rupture, including coughing, vomiting or minor medical procedures not involving the spleen. A 65-year-old man who was hospitalised for eosinophilic
We present a case of multiple arrhythmias in a 3-year-old child who was presented to the emergency department with emesis. Initial vital signs were significant for a heart rate from 40 to 60 beats per minute with stable blood pressure. An electrocardiogram showed complete atrioventricular block with
We present the case of an 82-year-old man with a history of heart failure, mitral regurgitation, type 2 DM, hypertension, dilated cardiomyopathy and a paroxysmal atrial flutter. The patient was under treatment with Sintrom. The patient presented to the emergency department due to melenic depositions
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) and cardiomyopathy are two established complications of thyrotoxicosis. Emergent management is essential as TPP and cardiac events secondary to thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy can be fatal. We report a unique case of a patient with Graves' disease presenting with
Dronedarone is an antiarrhythmic agent recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the reduction of cardiovascular-related hospitalizations in patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. The drug is a derivative of amiodarone and has been
Background: We report a rare case of absolute thrombocytopenia with ticagrelor after 6 h of single loading dose of ticagrelor.
Case summary: A 68-year-old male with ischaemic
The efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of E 047/1, an amiodarone derivative, were evaluated in patients with acute supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia. In an open, nonrandomized prospective multicenter trial, 20 patients were treated with three different i.v. dosage regimens
Quinidine gluconate was administered slowly by intravenous infusion to 20 patients with atrial fibrillation. Nineteen of them had rheumatic heart disease and the other one had Ebstein's disease. The first ten patients received 0.027 mg/kg/min during 6 hs or less if they returned to normal sinus
We investigated 69 patients (most belonging to NYHA classes II and III) undergoing elective direct current cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (46 patients) and atrial flutter (23 patients), respectively. Without premedication anaesthesia was induced with the new soya bean emulsion of propofol
We report a case of superior mesenteric artery thrombosis after the abrupt discontinuation of rivaroxaban in a 59-year-old male patient. The initial presentation was of sudden onset abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and hematochezia in the setting of recently holding rivaroxaban
The principal effects of cardiac glycosides probably can be classified as parasympathomimetic or sympathomimetic. Data from animals and from man suggest that polar cardiac glycosides, such as ouabain and digoxin, possess greater parasympathomimetic (vagal) cardiac effect for a given amount of
Aclacinomycin A (ACM) was administered for induction treatment to 40 previously treated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. 38 patients aged 2 to 80 years (mean +/- SE, 35.0 +/- 3.2 years) with overt AML were evaluated; of these, seventeen patients were given ACM after an unsuccessful attempt to
Aclarubicin (ACM) was administered as induction treatment to 40 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who were either refractory to initial induction chemotherapy or in relapse. Thirty-eight patients with AML, 2-80 years of age (mean +/- SE, 35.0 +/- 3.2), were evaluated during this study.
Pyogenic liver abscess is a rare entity, but it is fatal when untreated. With a peak incidence in the fifth decade of life, its early recognition and intervention are key to successful treatment and better prognosis of patients. In recent years, its approach has been enhanced by the use of
