Seven patients with right precordial Q waves (RPQs) simulating anterior myocardial infarction (MI), but without a previous history of either MI or other underlying diseases showing RPQ, were injected intravenously with ajmaline. The RPQs were abolished in 5 patients. Two patients displayed a
Haemodynamic changes after single intravenous injection of antiarhythmic doses of ajmaline (50 mg) and lidocain (100 mg) were measured comparatively in 10 patients with acute myocardial infarction, stable cardiac rhythm and without manifest left heart failure. The effects of ajmaline were
Forty-three patients in the acute phase of myocardial infarction who were resistant to conventional doses of lidocaine received Ajmaline intravenously (50 mg bolus followed by constant infusion rate of 1-1.5 mg/min). Dangerous ventricular arrhythmias were abolished in 72% of this group of patients
As yet the antiarrhythmic efficacy of ajmaline with regard to suppressing the induction of sustained ventricular tachycardia after myocardial infarction has not been determined. Therefore, programmed electrical stimulation was performed in 8 conscious, chronically instrumented mongrel dogs 8-20 days
Antiarrhythmic treatment is based on the hypothesis that ventricular premature beats (VPBs), in the presence of underlying cardiac disease and impaired ventricular function, may predispose to sudden cardiac death. The effectiveness of treatment, however, has not been proven. For acute treatment of
An ajmaline test was conducted in 120 patients with a history of disorders of consciousness : Adams-Stokes syndrome (n = 49), loss of consciousness (n = 42), or lipothymia (n = 29). Four types of response were observed after ajmaline : VH less than 80 ms (n = 63); VH between 80 and 100 ms (n = 19);
A case of 52 years old male patient with antero-septal myocardial infarction in the course of type B Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome has been described. Intravenous administration of 50 mg of ajmaline 2 hours after admission to hospital suppressed the electrocardiographic signs of preexcitation and
Of 335 consecutive patients (pts) admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 34 (10%) evidenced complete heart block (HB). The overall inhospital mortality was 14% (47 pts) versus 39% of the HB group (13 pts). No previous conduction disturbances were documented
