bradycardia/fatigue

BACKGROUND Anorexia nervosa is a disease with high prevalence in adolescents and carries the highest mortality of any psychiatric disorder. METHODS We present a case of a 17-year-old female presenting to the emergency department with bradycardia that was subsequently diagnosed with anorexia nervosa.

Bradycardia is a common complication at the early postoperative period after heart transplantation (HT). The heart rate (HR) usually recovers within a few weeks; however, several patients need a temporary pacemaker or chronotropic agents to stabilize their hemodynamics. Here, we report the first

A 48-year-old man was referred to our hospital in December, 2005 because of general fatigue, gait disturbance and bradycardia. He had a history of polysurgery due to recurrent ileus and had been treated with home total parenteral nutrition for the short-bowel syndrome since 2003. Clinical findings

Bradyarrhythmia (bradycardia) is a heart rate lower than 60 beats/min. It can be due to sinus, atrial, or junctional bradycardia or to a problem with the conduction system (eg, an atrioventricular block). Asymptomatic bradycardia is common, especially among trained athletes or during sleep.

Three cases are reported of hypoglycemia manifested by profound sinus bradycardia and fatigue, which responded to i.v. dextrose with prompt normalization of the cardiac rhythm. The cases involved 3 different patients and disease processes: a young female who had anorexia nervosa and profound

Bradyarrhythmias are a common clinical finding and comprise a number of rhythm disorders including sinus node dysfunction and atrioventricular conduction disturbances. Clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic electrocardiogram findings (eg, during a routine examination) to a wide range of

OBJECTIVE To review the diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias in a two-part presentation. METHODS Articles and published peer-review abstracts on tachycardias and bradycardias. RESULTS Bradycardias are caused by a failure of the sinus node to generate normal impulses or due to a defect in

Patients with chronic aortic dissections are at high risk of catheter-induced complications. We report a Berberine is used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia and has a good safety profile. We report a case of a

The thyroid hormone is well known for controlling metabolism, growth, and many other body functions. The thyroid gland, anterior pituitary gland, and hypothalamus comprise a self-regulatory circuit called the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. The main hormones produced by the thyroid gland are

Eating disorders are common. The typical onset of eating disorders is in mid- to late adolescence, affecting females more often than males. However, rates of eating disorders are increasing among younger children, males, and minority groups. Warning signs include abrupt changes in weight or growth

beta-receptor antagonists have for many years been considered appropriate alternatives in the primary management of mild to moderate hypertension. Generally, they have been shown to be safe with a low frequency of serious side-effects. Among the predictable and usually doserelated side-effects are

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common psychiatric illness in children and adolescents. Several stimulant medications, such as methylphenidate and amphetamine derivatives, are available to treat ADHD in pediatric patients. Nonstimulant medications are more preferred by

BACKGROUND First dose observation for cardiac effects is required for fingolimod, but recommendations on the extent vary. This study aims to assess cardiac safety of fingolimod first dose. Individual bradyarrhythmic episodes were evaluated to assess the relevance of continuous electrocardiogram

The calcium antagonist, diltiazem is effective in the treatment of patients with various types of angina pectoris, as well as with essential and renovascular arterial hypertension. Sustained-release diltiazem in dose of 180 mg once daily is effective as sustained-release diltiazem in dose of 90 mg
