Heart Block
Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.
Heart
The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood.
Adams-Stokes Syndrome
A condition of fainting spells caused by heart block, often an atrioventricular block, that leads to BRADYCARDIA and drop in CARDIAC OUTPUT. When the cardiac output becomes too low, the patient faints (SYNCOPE). In some cases, the syncope attacks are transient and in others cases repetitive and persistent.

Antinuclear antibodies are found in systemic autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease.
Heart Defects, Congenital
Developmental abnormalities involving structures of the heart. These defects are present at birth but may be discovered later in life.
Electrocardiography
Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY.

Cardiac Pacing, Artificial
Regulation of the rate of contraction of the heart muscles by an artificial pacemaker.
Heart Failure
A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
Heart Conduction System
An impulse-conducting system composed of modified cardiac muscle, having the power of spontaneous rhythmicity and conduction more highly developed than the rest of the heart.
Bundle of His
Small band of specialized CARDIAC MUSCLE fibers that originates in the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE and extends into the membranous part of the interventricular septum. The bundle of His, consisting of the left and the right bundle branches, conducts the electrical impulses to the HEART VENTRICLES in generation of MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION.
Heart Rate, Fetal
The heart rate of the FETUS. The normal range at term is between 120 and 160 beats per minute.
Heart Diseases
Pathological conditions involving the HEART including its structural and functional abnormalities.
Bundle-Branch Block
A form of heart block in which the electrical stimulation of HEART VENTRICLES is interrupted at either one of the branches of BUNDLE OF HIS thus preventing the simultaneous depolarization of the two ventricles.

Heart Transplantation
The transference of a heart from one human or animal to another.
Sinoatrial Node
The small mass of modified cardiac muscle fibers located at the junction of the superior vena cava (VENA CAVA, SUPERIOR) and right atrium. Contraction impulses probably start in this node, spread over the atrium (HEART ATRIUM) and are then transmitted by the atrioventricular bundle (BUNDLE OF HIS) to the ventricle (HEART VENTRICLE).
Heart Atria
The chambers of the heart, to which the BLOOD returns from the circulation.
Heart Septum
This structure includes the thin muscular atrial septum between the two HEART ATRIA, and the thick muscular ventricular septum between the two HEART VENTRICLES.

Cardiomyopathies
A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).
Pregnancy

Hydrops Fetalis
Abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in two or more fetal compartments, such as SKIN; PLEURA; PERICARDIUM; PLACENTA; PERITONEUM; AMNIOTIC FLUID. General fetal EDEMA may be of non-immunologic origin, or of immunologic origin as in the case of ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS.
Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic
A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.
Arrhythmias, Cardiac
Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.
Pregnancy Complications

Resistance to a disease-causing agent induced by the introduction of maternal immunity into the fetus by transplacental transfer or into the neonate through colostrum and milk.
Collagen Diseases
Historically, a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, etc. This classification was based on the notion that "collagen" was equivalent to "connective tissue", but with the present recognition of the different types of collagen and the aggregates derived from them as distinct entities, the term "collagen diseases" now pertains exclusively to those inherited conditions in which the primary defect is at the gene level and affects collagen biosynthesis, post-translational modification, or extracellular processing directly. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1494)
Follow-Up Studies

Its lack of mineralocorticoid properties makes betamethasone particularly suitable for treating cerebral edema and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p724)
Myocarditis
Inflammatory processes of the muscular walls of the heart (MYOCARDIUM) which result in injury to the cardiac muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). Manifestations range from subclinical to sudden death (DEATH, SUDDEN). Myocarditis in association with cardiac dysfunction is classified as inflammatory CARDIOMYOPATHY usually caused by INFECTION, autoimmune diseases, or responses to toxic substances. Myocarditis is also a common cause of DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY and other cardiomyopathies.
Prenatal Diagnosis
Determination of the nature of a pathological condition or disease in the postimplantation EMBRYO; FETUS; or pregnant female before birth.
Transposition of Great Vessels
A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the AORTA arises entirely from the RIGHT VENTRICLE, and the PULMONARY ARTERY arises from the LEFT VENTRICLE. Consequently, the pulmonary and the systemic circulations are parallel and not sequential, so that the venous return from the peripheral circulation is re-circulated by the right ventricle via aorta to the systemic circulation without being oxygenated in the lungs. This is a potentially lethal form of heart disease in newborns and infants.
Heart Auscultation
Act of listening for sounds within the heart.
Sick Sinus Syndrome
A condition caused by dysfunctions related to the SINOATRIAL NODE including impulse generation (CARDIAC SINUS ARREST) and impulse conduction (SINOATRIAL EXIT BLOCK). It is characterized by persistent BRADYCARDIA, chronic ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, and failure to resume sinus rhythm following CARDIOVERSION. This syndrome can be congenital or acquired, particularly after surgical correction for heart defects.

DMPK dosage alterations result in atrioventricular conduction abnormalities in a mouse myotonic dystrophy model. (1/1056)

Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy and is caused by expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat on human chromosome 19. Patients with DM develop atrioventricular conduction disturbances, the principal cardiac manifestation of this disease. The etiology of the pathophysiological changes observed in DM has yet to be resolved. Haploinsufficiency of myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK), DM locus-associated homeodomain protein (DMAHP) and/or titration of RNA-binding proteins by expanded CUG sequences have been hypothesized to underlie the multi-system defects observed in DM. Using an in vivo murine electrophysiology study, we show that cardiac conduction is exquisitely sensitive to DMPK gene dosage. DMPK-/- mice develop cardiac conduction defects which include first-, second-, and third-degree atrioventricular (A-V) block. Our results demonstrate that the A-V node and the His-Purkinje regions of the conduction system are specifically compromised by DMPK loss. Importantly, DMPK+/- mice develop first-degree heart block, a conduction defect strikingly similar to that observed in DM patients. These results demonstrate that DMPK dosage is a critical element modulating cardiac conduction integrity and conclusively link haploinsufficiency of DMPK with cardiac disease in myotonic dystrophy.  (+info)

Junctional ectopic tachycardia evolving into complete heart block. (2/1056)

Transition from congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia to complete AV block was observed in an 8 month old girl, over a 36 hour period, during initial hospital admission. Two years later she had evidence of a rapidly increasing left ventricular end diastolic diameter, associated with lowest heart rates during sleep of < 30 beats/min. A transvenous permanent pacemaker was therefore implanted. This finding supports the idea that a pathological process in the area of the AV junction, initially presenting as junctional ectopic tachycardia may later extend to sudden complete atrioventricular block.  (+info)

Modulation of AV nodal and Hisian conduction by changes in extracellular space. (3/1056)

Previous studies have demonstrated that the extracellular space (ECS) component of the atrioventricular (AV) node and His bundle region is larger than the ECS in adjacent contractile myocardium. The potential physiological significance of this observation was examined in a canine blood-perfused AV nodal preparation. Mannitol, an ECS osmotic expander, was infused directly into either the AV node or His bundle region. This resulted in a significant dose-dependent increase in the AV nodal or His-ventricular conduction time and in the AV nodal effective refractory period. Mannitol infusion eventually resulted in Wenckebach block (n = 6), which reversed with mannitol washout. The ratio of AV nodal to left ventricular ECS in tissue frozen immediately on the development of heart block (n = 8) was significantly higher in the region of block (4.53 +/- 0.61) compared with that in control preparations (2.23 +/- 0.35, n = 6, P < 0.01) and donor dog hearts (2.45 +/- 0.18, n = 11, P < 0.01) not exposed to mannitol. With lower mannitol rates (10% of total blood flow), AV nodal conduction times increased by 5-10% and the AV node became supersensitive to adenosine, acetylcholine, and carbachol, but not to norepinephrine. We conclude that mannitol-induced changes in AV node and His bundle ECS markedly alter conduction system electrophysiology and the sensitivity of conductive tissues to purinergic and cholinergic agonists.  (+info)

Atrioventricular block occurring several months after radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia. (4/1056)

Atrioventricular (AV) block following radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the treatment of AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a rare but well recognised complication of the procedure--the reported incidence ranges from 1% to 21%. Almost all cases of AV block occur during or shortly after the procedure, are transient, and recover quickly. Two patients (a 22 year man and a 72 year old woman) with symptomatic AV block occurring several months after slow pathway RF ablation, requiring permanent pacemaker implantation, are described. Both patients had had several 24 hour Holter recordings before the procedure, and in neither case was there any evidence of intermittent or persistent AV block. This is a rare complication with no definitive predictors; however, all efforts should be made to exclude AV block in patients presenting with suggestive symptoms following RF ablation. With the wide use of RF ablation for the treatment of AVNRT, more cases are likely to occur. A registry should allow documentation of the incidence of this complication.  (+info)

Catheter-induced mechanical trauma to accessory pathways during radiofrequency ablation: incidence, predictors and clinical implications. (5/1056)

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the incidence, predictors and clinical implications of nonintentionally catheter-induced mechanical trauma to accessory pathways during radiofrequency ablation procedures. BACKGROUND: Data on the incidence and significance of catheter-induced trauma to accessory pathways are scarce. METHODS: Consecutive patients (n = 381) undergoing radiofrequency ablation of accessory pathways at two different institutions were closely monitored for appearance of mechanical block of accessory pathways during catheter manipulation. RESULTS: Mechanical trauma to accessory pathways was observed in 37 (9.7%) patients. According to a multivariate analysis, the only independent variable associated with this phenomenon was the anatomical pathway location (p = 0.0001). The incidence of trauma of either right anteroseptal (38.5%) or right atriofascicular pathways (33.3%) was significantly greater than that of pathways (< or =10%) at all remaining locations (p < 0.0001). The duration of conduction block observed ranged from < or =1 min to >30 min in 19% and 35% of patients, respectively. "Immediate" application of radiofrequency pulses at sites of mechanical block (<1 min after occurrence) was associated with a 78% long-term success rate at follow-up. This contrasted with a 25% long-term success rate in patients in whom pulses were delivered 30 min after occurrence of block ("delayed pulses"). Finally, in 24% of patients persistent trauma-induced conduction block led to discontinuation of the ablation procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Trauma to accessory pathways is more common than previously recognized and frequently results in prolongation or discontinuation of the ablation procedure and in lower success rates. The only independent predictor of catheter-trauma to accessory pathways is the pathway location.  (+info)

Conduction disturbances and increased atrial vulnerability in Connexin40-deficient mice analyzed by transesophageal stimulation. (6/1056)

BACKGROUND: Recently, it has been reported that connexin40 (Cx40) deficiency in targeted mouse mutants is associated with a prolongation of P-wave and QRS complex duration on surface electrograms. The specific effects of Cx40 deficiency on sinus node function, sinoatrial, and atrioventricular conduction properties as well as on atrial vulnerability have not yet been investigated systematically by electrophysiological analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fifty-two mice (18 Cx40(+/+), 15 Cx40(+/-), and 19 Cx40(-/-) mice) were subjected to rapid atrial transesophageal stimulation after anesthesia with avertin. A significant prolongation of sinus node recovery time was noticed in Cx40(-/-) mice compared with Cx40(+/-) and Cx40(+/+) mice (287.8+/-109.0 vs 211.1+/-61.8 vs 204.4+/-60.9 ms; P<0.05). In addition, Wenckebach periodicity occurred at significantly longer atrial pacing cycle lengths in Cx40(-/-) mice than in Cx40(+/-) or Cx40(+/+) mice (93. 3+/-11.8 vs 83.9+/-9.7 vs 82.8+/-8.0 ms, P<0.05). Analysis of 27 Cx40(-/-) mice showed a significant increase in intra-atrial conduction time and atrioventricular conduction time compared with 52 Cx40(+/-) and 31 wild-type (Cx40(+/+)) mice. Furthermore, in Cx40(-/-) mice, atrial tachyarrhythmias could be induced frequently by atrial burst pacing, whereas no atrial arrhythmias were inducible in heterozygous or wild-type mice. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that Cx40 deficiency is associated with sinoatrial, intra-atrial, and atrioventricular conduction disturbances. In atrial myocardium of the mouse, Cx40 deficiency results in increased atrial vulnerability and might contribute to arrhythmogenesis.  (+info)

Reversion to sinus rhythm 11 years after surgically induced heart block. (7/1056)

A patient is presented in whom the heart reverted spontaneously to sinus rhythm 11 years after surgical closure of a ventricular septal defect complicated by complete heart block. It seems unlikely that regeneration of fibres in the bundle of His, if these had indeed been destroyed, could account for the restoration of sinus rhythm after so long an interval.  (+info)

Electrophysiological effects of mexiletine in man. (8/1056)

The electrophysiological effects of intravenous mexiletine in a dose of 200 to 250 mg given over 5 minutes, followed by continuous infusion of 60 to 90 mg per hour, were studied in 5 patients with normal conduction and in 20 patients with a variety of disturbances of impulse formation and conduction, by means of His bundle electrography, atrial pacing, and the extrastimulus method. In all but 2 patients the plasma level was above the lower therapeutic limit. Mexiletine had no consistent effects on sinus frequency and atrial refractoriness. The sinoatrial recovery time changed inconsistently in both directions; however, of the 5 patients in whom an increase was evident, 3 had sinus node dysfunction. In most patients mexiletine increased the AV nodal conduction time at paced atrial rates and shifted the Wenckebach point to a lower atrial rate. The effective refractory period of the AV node was not consistently influenced, while the functional refractory period increased in 12 out of 14 patients. The HV intervals increased by a mean of 11 ms in 8 patients and were unchanged in 17. Both the relative and effective refractory period of the His-Purkinje system increased after mexiletine. Non-cardiac side effects occurred in 7 out of 25 patients, and cardiac side effects, including one serious, in 2. The results indicate that mexiletine shares some electrophysiological properties with procainamide and quinidine, when given to patients with conduction defects, and that the drug should not be used in patients with pre-existing impairment of impulse formation or conduction. It has additional effects on AV nodal conduction which may be of value in the treatment of re-entrant tachycardias involving the AV node.  (+info)

Familial congenital complete heart block and maternal systemic lupus erythematosis. | CirculationFamilial congenital complete heart block and maternal systemic lupus erythematosis. | Circulation
A family is reported in which two siblings had congenital complete heart block with resultant congestive heart failure, the father and paternal grandfather show adult-onset conduction defects, and the mother has systemic lupus erythematosis. The interaction of heredity and environment is discussed in this context. A review of the literature on familial complete heart block suggests that so-called pure congenital-onset familial heart block, originally felt to be genetic, may in fact have an important enivronmental component, specifically related to ongoing maternal factors such as systemic lupus erythematosis. ...

In 700 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the intensive coronary care unit of our hospital, the incidence and significance of left anterior hemiblock and left axis deviation has been studied in the acute phase of disease. In 102 (14.6%) of the 700 patients, isolated left axis deviation (mean QRS axis-45 degrees) was found and 69 of them (9.9%) met the criteria of left anterior hemiblock. Of the 69 patients with left anterior hemiblock, 61 had acute anterior myocardial infarction, 5 had inferior infarction, and 3 had subendocardial infarction. The anterior hemiblock was transient in 5 patients, but persisted in 64. All patients with and without isolated left anterior hemiblock and left axis deviation were compared statistically with reference to mortality rate and the incidence of arrythmias; no significant difference was noted. However, in patients over the age of 65 and also in those with hypertension, the incidence of left axis deviation was significantly higher (P less than ...

Transient complete heart block - Doctors answer your questionsTransient complete heart block - Doctors answer your questions
Transient complete heart block - What is complete heart block? Heart block. Third-degree atrioventricular block or complete heart block, is a disorder of the cardiac conduction system where there is no conduction through the atrioventricular node. Therefore, complete dissociation of the atrial and ventricular activity exists. It results from various pathologic states causing infiltration, fibrosis, or loss of connection in portions of the healthy conduction system.

Heart Block - Cambridge Heart ClinicHeart Block - Cambridge Heart Clinic
Heart block occurs when the electrical signals that tell the heart to contract are delayed or blocked between the upper chambers (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles). This results in a slow or irregular heartbeat and depending on the degree of heart block you may require treatment or a pacemaker.. The condition can be present from birth, known as congenital heart block, or it can develop later in life.. Heart block is commonly seen in patients as they get older but can be caused by infection (Lyme disease), high blood pressure, exposure to toxic substances or powerful drugs such as those used to treat cancer or coronary heart disease. There are a large number of cause of heart block and occasionally it is not possible to delineate the cause. However, even when the clear cause is not known, given the consequences, this doesnt alter the treatment which in cases of advanced heart block is a pacemaker. ...

Journal of Postgraduate Gynecology & Obstetrics: Congenital Heart Block Due To Maternal AutoantibodiesJournal of Postgraduate Gynecology & Obstetrics: Congenital Heart Block Due To Maternal Autoantibodies
Congenital heart block (CHB) is associated with maternal antibodies to Ro (SSA) and La (SSB) that cross the placenta and damage the AV node of fetus. An asymptomatic 27-year-old primigravida, diagnosed with second degree fetal heart block was investigated and found positive for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies. Fetal echocardiography (2D-echo) showed no structural defect but bradycardia. The patient was started on dexamethasone 8mg/day. She had preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) at 34 weeks and underwent emergency cesarean section (LSCS). The baby was born with complete heart block but was managed conservatively in view of low birth weight. The infant is now 5 months old and permanent pacemaker implantation is planned. ...

From antibody insult to fibrosis in neonatal lupus - the heart of the matter | Arthritis Research & Therapy | Full TextFrom antibody insult to fibrosis in neonatal lupus - the heart of the matter | Arthritis Research & Therapy | Full Text
Few diseases exemplify the integration of research from bench to bedside as well as neonatal lupus, often referred to as a model of passively acquired autoimmunity. In essence, this disease encompasses two patients, both the mother and her child. The signature histologic lesion of autoimmune-associated congenital heart block is fibrosis of the conducting tissue, and in some cases the surrounding myocardium. It is astounding how rapid and, in most cases, irreversible is the fibrotic response to injury. The mechanism by which maternal anti-SSA/Ro-SSB/La antibodies initiate and perpetuate inflammation, and eventuate in scarring of the atrioventricular node, is not yet defined. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that one pathologic cascade leading to scarring may be initiated via apoptosis, resulting in translocation of SSA/Ro-SSB/La antigens and subsequent surface binding by maternal autoantibodies. These opsonized cardiocytes are phagocytosed by macrophages, which secrete factors that transdifferentiate

Heart block - WikipediaHeart block - Wikipedia
Heart block is a disease or inherited condition that causes a fault within the hearts natural pacemaker due to some kind of obstruction (or block) in the electrical conduction system of the heart. Despite the severe-sounding name, heart block may often cause no symptoms at all in some cases, or occasional missed heartbeats in other cases (which can cause lightheadedness, syncope (fainting), and palpitations), or may require an artificial pacemaker to be implanted, depending upon exactly where in the heart conduction is being impaired and how significantly it is affected. In severe cases where the hearts ability to control and trigger heartbeats may be completely ineffective or unreliable, heart block can usually be treated by inserting an artificial pacemaker, a medical device that provides correct electrical impulses to trigger heart beats, compensating for the natural pacemakers unreliability. Therefore, heart block frequently has no effects, or mild and occasional effects, and is not ...

Progressive familial heart block type II (PFHB2) is an autosomal dominant disorder, similar to type I progressive familial heart block (PFHB1; see 113900). The pattern of PFHB2, however, tends to develop along the lines of a sinus bradycardia with a left posterior hemiblock, presenting clinically as syncopal episodes, Stokes-Adams seizures, or sudden death when complete heart block supervenes (Brink and Torrington, 1977).

First case report of inducible heart block in Lyme disease and an update of Lyme carditis | BMC Infectious Diseases | Full TextFirst case report of inducible heart block in Lyme disease and an update of Lyme carditis | BMC Infectious Diseases | Full Text
Lyme disease (LD), is the most common vector-borne illness in the US and Europe, with predominantly cutaneous, articular, cardiac and neuro-psychiatric manifestations. LD affects all layers of the heart and every part of the conducting system. Carditis is a less common manifestation of LD. Heart block (HB) as the initial and sole manifestation of LD is rare. Inducible HB has never been reported in LD. We report a case of heart block (HB) inducible with exercise and reversible with rest. A 37-year-old male presented to the emergency department after experiencing two episodes of syncope while at work. He presented, with a heart rate of 57 bpm, and the ECG showed sinus bradycardia with first degree AV block. The PR interval was 480 ms (NL 120-200 ms). Physical exam was unremarkable. The cardiologists initial impression was vaso-vagal attack. He developed high degree AV block during a stress test for the initial work up, which resolved on cessation of exercise.

Preventive IVIG Therapy for Congenital Heart Block - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govPreventive IVIG Therapy for Congenital Heart Block - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Perhaps the strongest clinical association with autoantibodies against SSA/Ro-SSB/La is the development of congenital heart block (CHB) in an offspring, an alarming prospect facing 2% of primigravid mothers with these antibodies. Recurrence rates approach 20%. Disease can progress rapidly, with advanced block and life-threatening cardiomyopathy observed less than 2 weeks from normal sinus rhythm. Once 3rd degree (complete) block is identified, reversal has never been achieved, despite dexamethasone. This makes biologic sense since the signature lesion is fibrosis of the atrioventricular node. Thus, strategies aimed at preventing disease assume high priority. Although disease expression in the fetus requires additional factors to amplify the cascade to fibrosis, maternal anti-Ro/La antibodies are necessary. Accordingly, eliminating fetal exposure to these antibodies is a sound and important approach. Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) is particularly exciting in its potential not only to lower ...

The spread of Dengue virus infection is reaching pandemic proportions. Dengue is usually dreaded for causing shock due to capillary leakage. However the clinical spectrum of dengue is vast and the newly incorporated expanded dengue syndrome introduces a wide range of presentations that are rarely observed and appreciated but nevertheless have the potential to cause significant morbidity and even mortality. Cardiac involvement in dengue is one such example. A 26 year old South-Asian female presented in a state of haemodynamic shock with a history of fever and use of non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs. Dengue was suspected clinically and later confirmed. Following stabilization and while still in the febrile phase the patient developed bradycardia with dynamic electrocardiogram changes which evolved into complete heart block. However there was no circulatory compromise. Clinical picture was further complicated by the development of dengue haemorhaghic fever and cautious fluid resuscitation was carried

Notes from Dr. RW: April 2015Notes from Dr. RW: April 2015
This study was conducted to investigate the prognostic value of heart block among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated with drug-eluting stents. A total of 13,862 patients with AMI, registered in the nation-wide AMI database from January 2005 to June 2013, were analyzed. Second- (Mobitz type I or II) and third-degree atrioventricular block were considered as heart block in this study. Thirty-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including all causes of death, recurrent myocardial infarction, and revascularization were evaluated. Percutaneous coronary intervention with implantation of drug-eluting stent was performed in 89.8% of the patients. Heart block occurred in 378 patients (2.7%). Thirty-day MACE occurred in 1,144 patients (8.2%). Patients with heart block showed worse clinical parameters at initial admission, and the presence of heart block was associated with 30-day MACE in univariate analyses. However, the prognostic impact of heart block was not significant after ...

ECG Interpretation: ECG Interpretation Review #20 (High-Grade AV Block - Mobitz I vs Mobitz II?)ECG Interpretation: ECG Interpretation Review #20 (High-Grade AV Block - Mobitz I vs Mobitz II?)
ANSWER: The atrial rate in Figure 1 of this Blog post (at the top of this page) is now faster (~115/minute) than it was when there was 2:1 AV conduction (Note the P-P interval in Figure 1 from Blog Review #19 = 3 large boxes = an atrial rate of 100/minute). Rather than worsening of the degree of AV block per se - the lower conduction rate may simply be the result of the faster atrial rate. Treatment of 2nd degree AV block with atropine may at times be a double-edged sword. It may improve the situation (by facilitating conduction through the AV node) - but it can at times worsen the situation by increasing the atrial rate by an amount that may be too fast to conduct. Bottom Line: We suspect that Figure 1 in this Blog post (at the top of this page) represents high-grade 2nd degree AV block, Mobitz Type I - because the QRS is narrow, and Mobitz I is by far the most common form of 2nd degree AV block. Even though treatment with atropine was appropriate (since this drug is often effective for ...

Linking anti-Ro antibodies to fibrosis in congenital heart block: translation to a clinical trial | Arthritis Research &...Linking anti-Ro antibodies to fibrosis in congenital heart block: translation to a clinical trial | Arthritis Research &...
One of the strongest clinical associations with autoantibodies (Ab) directed to components of the SSA/Ro-SSB/La ribonucleoprotein complex is the development of congenital heart block (CHB) in an offspring. Fetal disease is independent of maternal disease and often anti-Ro Ab are first sought only because CHB has been identified. The first-time risk of 2% is 10-fold higher in women who have had a previous CHB child. Tissue injury in the fetus is presumed to be dependent on the FcγR-mediated transplacental passage of maternal IgG Ab. Despite attempts of large multicenter studies to forestall disease by careful monitoring, irreversible block and extensive myocardial injury have been documented within 7 days of a normal rhythm and PR interval. In vivo and in vitro data support that cardiac fibrosis may be consequent to macrophage Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling following ligation of the ssRNA complexed to the Ro protein. TLR signaling and fibrotic endpoints may be abrogated by chloroquine (CQ), ...

In search of an antibody specificity highly predictive of congenital heart block | Lupus Science & MedicineIn search of an antibody specificity highly predictive of congenital heart block | Lupus Science & Medicine
Since the relationship of maternal autoimmunity and congenital heart block (CHB) was initially described in the late 1970s, investigators have attempted to identify additional factors associated with its development.1-4 Detection of CHB in the absence of cardiac structural abnormalities predicts the presence of maternal autoantibody responses against the ribonucleoproteins SSA/Ro and SSB/La in ,85% of cases.5 CHB is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, with a 17.5% case fatality rate and approximately 70% requiring permanent pacemaker placement.6 Sustained reversal of third-degree CHB has never been achieved and to date there is no approved medication for treatment or prevention of this disease. Recognising those mothers at increased risk of CHB in an offspring would provide insights into the pathogenesis of disease and help prioritise allocation of screening resources, including intense echocardiographic monitoring..

Heart block. First-degree heart block is symptom-free and rarely needs treatment.. With second degree heart block you may need a pacemaker, and for third degree heart block, youll almost certainly need one.. Bradycardia. If your bradycardia is caused by an underactive thyroid or obstructive sleep apnoea, treatment of these underlying conditions may correct the condition.. Ventricular tachycardia. With ventricular tachycardia, antiarrhythmic drugs are often used together with surgery. Beta-blockers are common, Amiodarone less so.. Catheter ablation is a relatively simple surgical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy or cold (cryotherapy) via a cardiac catheter to destroy the area of heart tissue that is causing your irregular contractions..

1. What rhythm is demonstrated on this EKG?. 2. How would you manage this patient?. ANSWER:. The rhythm is 3rd degree AV block (AKA complete AV block).. The patient is stable. Atropine can be attempted but is unlikely to be successful. Pacing pads should be placed on the chest. A cause of the heart block should be sought.. The EKG demonstrates a bradycardic rhythm at a rate of approximately 30. P waves are present but there are dropped P waves. The RR intervals are regular and the PR intervals are irregular. This is consistent with 3rd degree AV block.. Differentiating 2nd degree from 3rd degree AV block can sometimes be difficult. The following algorithm is useful. ...

One might think that because there is associated RBBB, that it is infranodal AV block. But the RBBB was present when the block and ST elevation were not, so it is likely a baseline feature of this patients ECG. Furthermore, inferior STEMI is much less likely to cause infranodal block. The blood supply to the AV node is from the RCA, and the infranodal (HIS bundle) area is supplied by the LAD. Therefore, intranodal (in the AV node) block is much more likely than infranodal (below the AV node, in the bundle of HIS ...

SCN5A_HUMAN] Defects in SCN5A are a cause of progressive familial heart block type 1A (PFHB1A) [MIM:113900]; also known as Lenegre-Lev disease or progressive cardiac conduction defect (PCCD). PFHB1A is an autosomal dominant cardiac bundle branch disorder that may progress to complete heart block. PFHB1A is characterized by progressive alteration of cardiac conduction through the His-Purkinje system with right or left bundle branch block and widening of QRS complexes, leading to complete atrioventricular block and causing syncope and sudden death.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Defects in SCN5A are the cause of long QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3) [MIM:603830]. Long QT syndromes are heart disorders characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the ECG and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. They cause syncope and sudden death in response to exercise or emotional stress. LQT3 inheritance is an autosomal dominant.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [:][15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] ...

Karel Frederik Wenckebach - WikipediaKarel Frederik Wenckebach - Wikipedia
Karel Frederik Wenckebach (March 24, 1864 - November 11, 1940) was a Dutch anatomist who was a native of the Hague. He studied medicine in Utrecht, and in 1901 become a professor of medicine at the University of Groningen. Later he was a professor at the Universities of Strasbourg (1911-14) and Vienna (1914-29). Wenckebach (pronounced ven-kĕ-bak) is primarily remembered for his work in cardiology. In 1899 he provided a description of irregular pulses due to partial blockage of atrioventricular conduction, creating a progressive lengthening of conduction time in cardiac tissue. The condition was referred to as a second degree AV block and later named the Wenckebach phenomenon and reclassified as Mobitz type I block in Mobitzs 1924 paper. A similar phenomenon can also occur in the Sinoatrial node where it gives rise to Type I second degree SA block, and this is also known as a Wenckebach block; the two have distinct features on an ECG however. Wenckebach is credited for describing the ...

Heart Block | Heart Rhythm SocietyHeart Block | Heart Rhythm Society
Heart block is an abnormal heart rhythm where the heart beats too slowly (bradycardia). In this condition, the electrical signals that tell the heart to contract are partially or totally blocked between the upper chambers (atria) and the lower chambers (ventricles). For this reason, it is also called atrioventricular block (AV block).

Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery - Atrioventricular Heart BlockPediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery - Atrioventricular Heart Block
Heart block can be treated with the implantation of a permanent pacemaker, which regulates the heart beat. It consists of two parts - the generator and the lead. The generator is a small metal container with a battery and tiny computer. The lead is an insulated wire that carries electrical impulses to the heart to ensure a stable heartbeat.. The computer in the pacemaker is constantly monitoring your childs heartbeat. This is called sensing. When the pacemaker senses your childs heartbeat, it continues to monitor your childs heart and does not send a signal to stimulate the heart to beat. However, if no electrical impulse is detected by the pacemaker, it sends out a signal to stimulate your childs heart to beat.. For information on how a pacemaker is implanted, please see Pediatric Pacemaker Procedure.. ...

Why three degrees of heart block? - Style & Hairstyles & Fashion - StylesStar.ComWhy three degrees of heart block? - Style & Hairstyles & Fashion - StylesStar.Com
Heart block, or atrioventricular (AV) block, is either complete or incomplete. The term third-degree AV block, or complete heart block, is applied when there is no relationship between the atrial and ventricular beats and the atrial rate is faster than the ventricular. Incomplete AV block is divided into first-degree, second-degree, and advanced AV block. By definition, first-degree AV block occurs when the PR interval is 0.20 seconds and each atrial beat is followed by a ventricular complex. Second-degree AV block results in intermittent failure of atrial impulses to be conducted to the ventricles and is divided into two basic types: Type I or Wenckebach (also called Mobitz I) shows progressive lengthening of the PR interval from beat to beat until an atrial complex is blocked. Because of these periodic pauses, âœgrouped beatingâ occurs and, when present, aids in the diagnosis of Mobitz I block. It may be seen transiently in acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. Type II AV block ...

In this study we have demonstrated the feasibility of SRS for AV node ablation in an intact porcine model, and, to our knowledge, we are the third group to use radiation therapy for AV node ablation.4 Sharma et al attempted AV node ablation in 2 pigs: 1 procedure was successful with 70‐Gy ablation, whereas the other failed due to pacemaker infection.4 In our study we used doses of 35 to 40 Gy to successfully achieve complete heart blocks in 5 pigs. The pig in the Sharma et al study had AV node conduction changes earlier than 35 days after the procedure, which is likely related to the higher dose of radiation used. Our study is significant in that we demonstrated complete heart block in 5 pigs with a lower dose of radiation. Another group from the Mayo Clinic published their data recently in April 2017 on the external arrhythmia ablation using photon beams and achieved 86% success in achieving complete heart block in an intact animal model with a dose deescalation from 55 to 25 Gy.5 Our study ...

Pharmacology of Cardiac GlycosidesPharmacology of Cardiac Glycosides
Since cardiac glycosides work on the AV node, as the dose increases the gate closes longer and longer.. In 1st Degree AV block, the EKG would have a long PR interval because the conduction decreased through the AV node. This means wed have less QRS beats. This gives us a warning that if the apical pulse is less than 60, then we could be in 1st degree AV block. If you dont heed that warning, without getting into 2nd degree block, we could throw them into 3rd degree AV block. In 3rd degree AV block, nothing is getting through that AV node. This is when the automaticity of the heart takes over which looks like pre-fibrillation.. Serum drug levels: We monitor the serum drug levels because of the narrow therapeutic index. When you get lab results back, most medication blood levels come back as micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL). Cardiac glycosides come back in nanograms per deciliter (10^-9)..

A familial form of conduction defect related to a mutation in the PRKAG2 gene : EP Europace - oiA familial form of conduction defect related to a mutation in the PRKAG2 gene : EP Europace - oi
We describe four members of the same family with a very similar ECG pattern characterized by conduction defects (right bundle branch block, frequent left anterior hemiblock, atrial hypertrophy, and sometimes severe nodal dysfunction) contrasting with a short PR interval. Significant clinical events were reported only after 60 years of age. A mutation in the γ2 subunit of the AMP activated protein kinase gene (PRKAG2) was identified in the four members of the family, with an autosomal dominant inheritance. The phenotype observed in this family appears different from that previously described as associated with this gene as neither left ventricular hypertrophy nor Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was present. These findings extend the phenotype associated with the PRKAG2 gene and emphasize an additional cause of familial conduction defect.. ...

Right bundle branch block with secondary repolarization abnormalities. Possible left ventricular hypertrophy. The ECG documents trifascicular block. In ER the patient had periods of high degree AV block (several non-conducted P waves). He underwent permanent pacemaker implantation (VVIR) with active fixation lead. Few positions of the lead in the RV were explored before satisfactory capture was found probably because of presence of scar for previous myocardial infarction.

Abstract A case-control study was conducted to examine whether physical activity, sibling history of heart disease (HHD), and length of residence in an area endemic for Chagas' disease were associated with the risk of developing Chagas' cardiopathy. Two hundred forty-seven cases of Chagas' heart disease and 345 seropositive subjects with normal ECG (controls) were selected in a population survey in Goiânia, Brazil. Prevalence ratios for exposure variables were estimated for cases in relation to controls and for subgroups of seropositives with selected ECG abnormalities in relation to controls. Increasing age and male sex were consistently and significantly related to an increased risk of ECG abnormalities. HHD was significantly associated with ECG alterations in 3 of the 5 comparison subgroups (any ECG alteration, right bundle branch block, and left anterior hemiblock). No association was found between length of residence in an area endemic, physical activity, and ECG abnormalities. A

A dual chamber pacemaker system is provided having an improved Wenckebach response for optimizing tracking of atrial signals having rates within a rate range above the normal tracking range, i.e., in a designated Wenckebach range. When an atrial sense occurs in the Wenckebach range, the AV delay is extended up to a predetermined maximum extension to enable delivery of a ventricular pulse at the ventricular upper rate limit (dynamic tracking limit). When the AV delay would have to be extended beyond the maximum extension in order to pace the ventricle at the dynamic tracking limit, the next ventricular stimulus is delivered asynchronously at an escape interval greater than the escape interval corresponding to the dynamic tracking limit, e.g., at a predetermined lower pacing limit.

Spontaneous Atrio Ventricular Conduction Preservation - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govSpontaneous Atrio Ventricular Conduction Preservation - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
In case of sinus node dysfunction, it is often necessary to choose the safer option provided by a DDD pacemaker even though the most appropriate mode of pacing is AAI mode.. In addition to saving energy, the latter mode allows spontaneous ventricular activation, the haemodynamic consequences of which are, in most cases, better than those obtained with dual chamber pacing.. Recent studies as the MOST study suggest also that ventricular desynchronization imposed by right ventricular apical pacing even when AV synchrony is preserved increases the risk of atrial fibrillation in patients with SND. Similar results were already given by anterior studies (PIPAF) which, taking into account the percentage of ventricular pacing, suggested that AF prevention algorithm in combination with a preserved native conduction are efficient in reducing AF burden.. However, current practice is to implant a dual chamber pacemaker to prevent the risk of atrioventricular block (AVB) even if DDDR pacing with a fixed long ...

Patients with DR-AVB were similar to those with AV block occurring in the absence of drugs in terms of clinical characteristics (age, gender, and symptoms during AV block). Patients with DR-AVB more commonly had hypertension (probably reflecting the original indication for these medications) and less commonly had organic heart disease (Table 2). Moreover, both patient groups had similar electrocardiographic characteristics, including the degree of AV block as well as the sinus rate, the ventricular escape rate, and QRS width during AV block. Only a minority of patients in both groups had electrocardiographic pattern suggesting AV block at the level of the AV node (16% vs. 8% for patients with and without medications, p = NS), whereas most patients in both groups had infranodal block (Table 2).. Upon hospitalization with AV block, the culprit medication was discontinued in 79 (86%) of the 92 patients with DR-AVB. Drug discontinuation was followed by spontaneous resolution of AV block within 48 h ...

Heart Structural Gene Causes Sudden Cardiac Death in Animal Model - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.comHeart Structural Gene Causes Sudden Cardiac Death in Animal Model - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.com
Studies of some children with a rare developmental problem, called 6p22 syndrome, hint that this gene is associated with similar cardiac issues in people. These children have deep-set eyes and cardiac problems that are not well defined. Almost all of these children are born with a deletion of one of their copies of the CAP2 gene, Field noted.. Knowing this connection, the researchers generated mice that would exhibit only cardiac conduction disease (CCD). They reinstated the gene but this time engineered it so they could knock it out again, but this time only in the hearts of the mice. It took close to five years to perfect this mouse model that exhibited only the heart knockout, Field said. The researchers could then conduct experiments targeting only the heart problem, because all the other symptoms, such as the eye problems, were out of the picture.. The mice once again developed CCD, leading to sudden cardiac death from complete heart block, but there was an extra surprise this time. The ...

Automatic Capture Verification in Pacemakers (Autocapture) - Utility and Problems - CogprintsAutomatic Capture Verification in Pacemakers (Autocapture) - Utility and Problems - Cogprints
The concept of a closed - loop feedback system, that would automatically assess pacing threshold and self -adjust pacing output to ensure consistent myocardial capture, has many appeals. Enhancing patient safety in cases of an unexpected rise in threshold, reduced current drain, hence prolonging battery longevity and reducing the amount of physician intervention required are just some of the advantages. Autocapture (AC) is a proprietary algorithm developed by St Jude Medical CRMD, Sylmar, CA, USA, (SJM) that was the first to commercially provide these automatic functions in a single chamber pacemaker (Microny and Regency), and subsequently in a dual chamber pacemaker (Affinity, Entity and Identity family of pacemakers). This article reviews the conditions necessary for AC verification and performance and the problems encountered in clinical practice. ...

But these tests are useful in helping women with lupus who are considering pregnancy. If a woman who has these antibodies becomes pregnant, she may need more careful monitoring of the fetus, since these antibodies are associated with a higher risk of the baby being born with neonatal lupus syndrome or a heart defect called congenital heart block ...

Depression of heart rate in fish at critically high temperatures is due to atrioventricular block - preLightsDepression of heart rate in fish at critically high temperatures is due to atrioventricular block - preLights
Background. Contraction of the heart is initiated by electrical excitation which originates in pacemaker cells situated at the base of the heart. Propagation of the electrical signal from the sinoatrial node causes contraction of the atrium followed by the ventricle causing blood to be ejected from the ventricle into the bulbus arteriosus. The propagation of the electrical signal is orchestrated by opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels which propagate the signal from cell to cell and chamber to chamber, passing from the atrium to the ventricle via the atrioventricular node. At critically high temperature, however, there is a breakdown of cardiac contraction which could originate in either the mechanism of electrical initiation or propagation. This article explores the latter and reveals the imbalance of rectifying K+ channels and depolarizing Na+ channels in the rainbow trout heart leads to atrioventricular block and loss of ventricular contraction in the presence of an atrial ...

  • Nowadays, heart block can be treated by implanting an artificial pacemaker to drive the ventricles. (encyclopedia.com)
  • Recent CT scan with contrast showed no more pulmonary embolisms, heart working fine, not even needing the pacemaker. (everything2.com)
  • A medical device called a pacemaker is used to treat third-degree heart block and some cases of second-degree heart block. (daviddarling.info)
  • Complete heart block frequently causes symptoms of lightheadedness or fainting and usually requires the placement of a permanent pacemaker. (rexhealth.com)
  • Usually, your doctor will recommend a pacemaker to treat type II second degree heart block, as it frequently progresses to third degree heart block. (hrsonline.org)
  • The heart compensates by producing electrical signals from a specialized pacemaker area in the ventricles. (clevelandclinic.org)
  • If you have second- or third-degree heart block, you may need a pacemaker to help your heart beat regularly. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Sometimes, if the heart block is expected to resolve in a day or so, a temporary pacemaker will be used. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Instead a wire may be inserted through a vein and directed to the heart and connected to the pacemaker. (medlineplus.gov)
  • The outcome in the fetuses with isolated complete heart block was better than in those with heart disease: 12 of the 16 fetuses are alive, two of them have a pacemaker. (bmj.com)
  • A pacemaker may be inserted for some cases of second-degree heart block, and all cases of third-degree heart block. (epnet.com)

  • Despite the severe-sounding name, heart block may cause no symptoms at all in some cases, or occasional missed heartbeats in other cases (which can cause light-headedness, syncope (fainting), and palpitations), or may require the implantation of an artificial pacemaker, depending upon exactly where in the heart conduction is being impaired and how significantly it is affected. (wikipedia.org)
  • In severe cases where the heart's ability to control and trigger heartbeats may be completely ineffective or unreliable, heart block can usually be treated by inserting an artificial pacemaker, a medical device that provides correct electrical impulses to trigger heart beats, compensating for the natural pacemaker's unreliability. (wikipedia.org)
  • SA blocks are usually of lesser clinical significance, since in the event of SA block, the AV node contains a secondary pacemaker which would still maintain a heart rate of around 40 - 60 beats per minute, sufficient for consciousness and much of daily life in the majority of individuals. (wikipedia.org)
  • SA blocks rarely give severe symptoms, because even if an individual had complete block at this level of the conduction system (which is uncommon), the secondary pacemaker of the heart would be at the AV node, which would fire at 40 to 60 beats a minute, which is enough to retain consciousness in the resting state. (wikipedia.org)

  • This is because if an individual had complete block at this level of the conduction system (which is uncommon), the secondary pacemaker of the heart would be at the AV node , which would fire at 40 to 60 beats a minute, which is enough to retain consciousness in the resting state. (wikidoc.org)
  • The pacemaker will send regular electrical signals to the heart. (medicalcityhospital.com)
  • Some second- and almost all third-degree heart blocks require an artificial pacemaker. (thefreedictionary.com)
  • Typically, electrical impulses in the heart begin in the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is located in the right atrium and contains pacemaker cells. (jems.com)
  • To accomplish all of this pumping, your heart develops specialized pacemaker cells and conduction tissues that conveys electrical impulses across your heart. (everydayhealth.com)
  • The electrical impulse of your heart begins in the right upper chamber from a group of specialized pacemaker cells called the sinoatrial (SA) node. (everydayhealth.com)
  • If you develop heart block and have symptoms, or if the upper and lower heart chambers of your heart no longer communicate electrically, you may need a surgically implanted pacemaker . (everydayhealth.com)
  • Between 1993 and 2009, about three million U.S. patients received a pacemaker for symptomatic electrical heart block, according to a survey published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in October 2012. (everydayhealth.com)
  • The best treatment for complete heart block not caused by drugs is insertion of a pacemaker. (carle.org)
  • Few studies have characterized the surgical outcomes following epicardial pacemaker implantation in neonates with congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB). (scielo.br)
  • There were two deaths at 12 and 325 days after pacemaker implantation due to bleeding from thrombolytic use and progressive refractory heart failure, respectively. (scielo.br)
  • Permanent pacemaker implantation in neonates with congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) is technically challenging due to the small size of the patients, presence of concomitant structural heart defects, and rapid child growth. (scielo.br)
  • Your heart has a natural "pacemaker" called the sinoatrial (SA) node which sends an electrical impulse throughout your heart to. (texasheart.org)
  • He actually mentioned a pacemaker, though he assured me Hannah's heart is probably fine. (bordercollie.org)
