tachycardia/fever

We present a small child with febrile peaks and syncopal episodes secundary to ventricular tachycardia, in whom it was eventually possible to demostrate the Brugada Syndrome with a special presentation in the ECG; early repolarization pattern in lead I and a aVL and Brugada pattern during fever in

This case series demonstrates a potential new role for the use of intravenous (IV) acetaminophen. The authors reviewed two cases, whereby patients that developed intrapartum fever leading to fetal tachycardia were effectively treated with IV acetaminophen, leading to rapid reduction of maternal

BACKGROUND Although thoracic aortic dissections are uncommon in young patients, they must be considered in the differential diagnosis in the presence of chest pain and abnormal vital signs. Although computed tomography angiography is the test of choice for thoracic dissection in the emergency

Accelerated junctional rhythm has been reported in children in the setting of acute rheumatic fever; however, we describe a hitherto unreported case of isolated junctional tachycardia in a child with streptococcal pharyngitis, not meeting revised Jones criteria for rheumatic fever. A previously

OBJECTIVE To determine 1. whether maternal fever during term labour is associated with acidaemia at birth and neonatal infection and 2. whether fetal tachycardia precedes maternal fever and is associated with neonatal infection. METHODS Retrospective matched-pair case-control study. METHODS Two

Fifty-two cases of fetal tachycardia during labour were investigated. Nine of these cases (17%) were possibly attributable to maternal pyrexia. In most, fetal tachycardia preceded the rise in maternal body temperature. Fetal tachycardia can be an early indication of intra-uterine infection.

A 19-year-old man presented with fever, migratory polyarthritis, and palpitations; a diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever was made. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory cardiac monitoring (Holter) performed during the patient's hospitalization revealed ventricular tachycardia. Although disturbances in cardiac

Three Gallus domesticus cocks were reared separately in a climatic chamber at 22 degrees C, with lights on at 0600 and off at 1800 h. Food and water were available at all times. At noontime, one bird was handled for the purpose of taking cloacal, comb, and foot temperatures every 3 min for 18 min.

Fever, tachycardia, and hypertension developed concurrently with the administration of thiothixene during an acute episode of agitation in a case of catatonic schizophrenia. No cause for the fever or hyperkinetic state was found, and the syndrome resolved spontaneously one week after antipsychotic

Acute rheumatic fever is the most commonly acquired heart disease in developing countries. The most common cardiac presentation is valvular disease. Although some rhythm disturbances may occur during the acute stages of the disease, ventricular tachycardia is extremely rare. Here, a case of acute

Arrhythmias or conduction system disease are not the most common manifestation of COVID-19 infection in patients requiring hospital admission. Torsade de pointes typically occurs in bursts of self-limiting episodes with symptoms of dizziness and syncope. However, it may occasionally progress to

A 64-year-old Japanese woman with Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS) is reported. She was admitted to our hospital for progressive amnesia, twitching of the right upper limb, and difficulty in speaking and walking for 5 months. Physical examination revealed a fever, tachycardia, and

A 50-year-old woman visited the emergency department with a high fever due to pneumonia. Incessant monomorphic ventricular tachycardia occurred and was terminated by intravenous lidocaine. Her ECG during sinus rhythm demonstrated ST segment elevation suggestive of Brugada syndrome (BS). An intensive

We report a 7-year old girl with ventricular tachycardia exacerbated by fever. She experienced her first symptom of palpitations during an influenza infection, and electrocardiogram showed wide QRS tachycardia of a left bundle branch block inferior axis pattern. We performed an electrophysiological

Brugada syndrome is a rare channelopathy associated with the SCN5A gene that causes fatal ventricular arrhythmias. This case of Brugada syndrome, in which ventricular tachycardia (VT) was provoked by high fever, is the first report in a Korean child. The boy had retinoblastoma of his left eye
