Lacosamide (LCM) is a novel antiepileptic drug that exerts a strong antiepileptic effect via slow inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels. LCM has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of partial seizures at doses up to 400mg/day. Clinical trials have employed doses
Özsoylu S, Akyıldız BN, Dursun A, Pamukçu Ö. Could you say that was an atrial flutter or not? Turk J Pediatr 2019; 61: 608-610. Muscle-tremor artefact is a potential cause of misdiagnosis of atrial arrhythmias on electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring. Such errors may lead to inappropriate and
Seizure-related cardiac arrhythmias are frequently reported and have been implicated as potential pathomechanisms of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). We attempted to identify clinical profiles associated with various (post)ictal cardiac arrhythmias. We conducted a systematic search from
BACKGROUND
Epileptic seizures are often associated with changes in cardiac autonomic function. Yet atrial fibrillation (AFib) or atrial flutter (AFlu) following epileptic seizures has only rarely been reported in the past.
OBJECTIVE
To describe and characterize patients who experienced lone AFib or
Pediatric cardiac catheterization may be indicated under certain conditions, but is associated with some risk. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the complications associated with diagnostic and interventional catheterization procedures done over an 18-month period in our laboratory. Of the
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy and feasibility of adenosine for the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) in the prehospital setting.
METHODS
Prospective case series.
METHODS
Large, urban, advanced life support emergency medical services system.
METHODS
One hundred
BACKGROUND
Though not obvious at a first glance, myopathies may be associated with ischemic stroke. Stroke-like episodes resemble ischemic stroke only to some extent but are a unique feature of certain mitochondrial disorders with a pathogenesis at variance from that of ischemic stroke. Only limited
BACKGROUND
Lacosamide treats partial seizures by enhancing slow inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels. The described cardiac toxicity of lacosamide in the literature to date includes atrioventricular blockade (PR prolongation), atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, sinus pauses, ventricular
Malpractice actions against pediatricians treating patients with arrhythmias have been recurrent in four general areas. Optimal medical management may not be widely recognized. Cases illustrating the following concepts are presented. Intravenous verapamil therapy in babies may cause apnea,
Recent important technical developments in the field of surgery for congenital heart disease have included the Ross pulmonary autograft replacement of the aortic valve, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and the double-switch and switch-Rastelli procedure for congenitally corrected transposition.
OBJECTIVE
To identify the outcome of potentially serious adverse effects of clozapine, particularly those frequently cited as reasons for clozapine discontinuation, and to characterize management strategies for adverse effects that do not warrant discontinuation.
METHODS
A structured search was
