Do prostanoids or nitric oxide mediate sensitization of the von Bezold-Jarisch reflex by B-type natriuretic peptide?
1. Cardiac natriuretic peptides act on cardiopulmonary chemoreceptor afferents to enhance the von Bezold-Jarisch reflex (BJR). Activity of the natriuretic peptide particulate guanylyl cyclase receptor is essential for full expression of the BJR. Whether natriuretic peptides act directly on cardiac afferents or they require another intermediate factor(s) for their effects on the BJR is unknown. Endogenous candidates tested as possible intermediates in the present study were prostanoids and nitric oxide (NO), plausible endogenous chemical mediators of cardiac chemoreflex activity. 2. Dose-dependent BJR bradycardia was evoked by the 5-HT(3) receptor agonist, phenylbiguanide (range 5-89 μg/kg), in conscious instrumented adult sheep (n = 6). The influence of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP; the most potent of the natriuretic peptides) on the BJR was assessed before and after blockade of prostanoids (using indomethacin, 1 mg/kg per h i.v.) or nitric oxide (using N-nitro-l-arginine (NOLA), 3 mg/kg ...

Permanent cardiac pacing for patients with iatrogenic or potentially reversible bradyarrhythmia | Revista Portuguesa de...
Temporary pacing was required in 28% (n=43) of the population, mainly those with CAVB, of whom 53% (n=23) required permanent pacemaker implantation.. Patients in whom bradyarrhythmia was resolved without need for pacemaker implantation were significantly more likely to present renal failure (24 vs. 5; p=0.001). Most patients who did not need pacemaker implantation had hypertension (Table 1).. Four patients died during hospitalization, three before pacemaker implantation and one after. No deaths were recorded in patients after discharge without pacemaker implantation.. Discussion. In this population, most patients required pacemaker implantation after iatrogenic drug discontinuation and/or correction of potentially reversible causes of bradyarrhythmias.. The proportion of patients with atrioventricular block who discontinue drug therapy and still need pacemaker implantation is unknown, as is the prognosis of these patients after hospital discharge without a pacemaker.2 There are few data on the ...
Sinus Bradycardia
In general patients who show a sinus bradycardia on their ECG will show little other signs and symptoms depending on the rate of their rhythm and any co-factors such as an acute coronary syndrome, pain, injuries, etc. Most patients will appear well perfused with good skin colour, warmth and no diaphoresis. If patients are on common blood pressure medications such as Beta Blockers it is likely that these will have artificially lowered the persons heart rate and that their normal resting heart rhythm is a sinus bradycardia.. In general, patients who have a sinus bradycardia are not hypotensive. This is because as we learned in Starlings Law, the slower the heart rate the greater time allowed for ventricular filling (which is passive), ventricular stretching (pre-load) and subsequent cardiac output.. ...

Symptomatic bradycardia - Treatment
Treatment of symptomatic bradycardia is largely algorithm-based, regardless of cause. Acting quickly to treat the bradycardia takes precedence over determining the cause. Once you have initiated treatment, proceed to determine the cause and correct, if possible (See section on Management of Bradycardia in the OR).. Decide whether the patient has adequate or poor perfusion, since the treatment sequence is determined by the severity of the patients clinical presentation. In the OR or anesthetized patient:. * If severe hypotension, persistent poor perfusion, or low ETCO2 (,15mm Hg)-, start CPR. * Administer 100% Oxygen, assist ventilation, open IV fluids, and secure airway. * Consider 0.5mg atropine IV while awaiting pacer. May repeat to total 3mg. If ineffective, begin transcutaneous pacing.. * Consider IV bolus Epinephrine 10-100mcg. May start low dose epinephrine infusion if a response (0.05-0.10 mcg/kg/min) or dopamine (2-10mcg/kg/min). * Prepare for transcutaneous pacing: use without delay ...

Sinus Bradycardia
Sinus bradycardia is a type of slow heartbeat. A special group of cells begin the signal to start your heartbeat. These cells are in the sinoatrial (SA) node. Normally, the SA node fires at about 60 to 100 times per minute at rest. In sinus bradycardia, the node fires less than 60 times per minute.
Temporary Pacemaker Insertion and Management of CV Implantable Electrical Devices in the ICU | Critical Care |...
Bradyarrhythmias occur commonly in the ICU, and most events do not necessitate temporary pacing. Transient bradycardia often occurs in the setting of enhanced vagal tone due to tracheal irritation, suction, or intubation; abdominal distention; or severe vomiting. Reversible causes such as severe electrolyte or acid-base imbalances should be corrected first whenever possible, as this may obviate the need for pacing or enhance the likelihood that a temporary lead will function appropriately when placed. Isolated sinus pauses, transient extended pauses in atrial fibrillation (AF), and nocturnal bradycardia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea are all common, and generally do not require temporary pacing. Pacing is considered when patients are having symptoms or have developed hemodynamic compromise thought to be secondary to a bradyarrhythmia, or if a rhythm is detected that is associated with a high risk of subsequent malignant bradyarrhythmia (Table 103-1). Recognizing circumstances that ...
Bezold-Jarisch reflex - Wikipedia
The Bezold-Jarisch reflex (also called the Jarisch-Bezold reflex or Von Bezold-Jarisch) involves a variety of cardiovascular and neurological processes which cause hypopnea (excessively shallow breathing or an abnormally low respiratory rate) and bradycardia (abnormally low resting heart rate). Prolonged upright posture results in some degree of pooling of blood in the lower extremities that can lead to diminished intracardiac volume. This phenomenon is exacerbated if the individual is dehydrated. The resultant arterial hypotension is sensed in the carotid sinus baroreceptors, and afferent nerve fibers from these receptors trigger autonomic signals that increase cardiac rate and contractility. However, pressure receptors in the wall and trabeculae of the underfilled left ventricle may then sense stimuli, activating high-pressure C-fiber afferent nerves from these receptors. They may respond by sending signals that trigger paradoxical bradycardia and decreased contractility, resulting in ...
Cardiac arrhythmias during or after epileptic seizures | Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry
We found a point prevalence of people with ictal asystole of 0.32%. In contrast, two small prospective studies (both n=19) with long-term implantable heart rhythm monitors up to 2 years reported a much higher prevalence of 5% and 21%.14 ,15 These contrasting figures suggest that ictal asystole does not occur during every seizure and may go unnoticed during short-term monitoring.. Ictal asystole, ictal bradycardia and ictal AV block coincided with a focal dyscognitive seizure and were predominantly seen in temporal lobe epilepsy. These three arrhythmias not only shared a similar clinical profile, but could also overlap. Both ictal bradycardia and ictal AV block may evolve into asystole.. It has been suggested that a seizure onset in the left hemisphere results in bradycardia and that a right-sided onset results in tachycardia.2 We did not, however, find a consistent lateralisation in the large group of ictal asystole and ictal bradycardia cases. In the small group of ictal AV block cases, there ...

Relative perioperative bradycardia does not lead to adverse outcomes after cardiac transplantation
Since the effects of bradycardia after cardiac transplantation are not known, we tested the hypothesis that perioperative bradycardia would lead to an increase in adverse outcomes after cardiac transplantation. We conducted a retrospective case control study with inclusion criterion of a heart rate (HR) less than 80 bpm during the 1st week after transplantation. Control patients were matched for gender, age and time since transplantation. We identified 34 patients as having perioperative bradycardia out of the 174 who underwent cardiac transplantation between 1994 and 1997. The results demonstrated no significant differences in donor ischemic times (180 vs. 183, p = 0.88), operative surgeon (p = 0.62) or pretransplant cardiac disease (p = 0.81) between groups. Bradycardic patients were more likely to be on pretransplant amiodarone (RR = 20.4, p < 0.001). Perioperative bradycardia did not lead to increases in cellular rejection (p = 0.72) or vasculopathy (p = 0.79). The patients prescribed ...
Iatrogenic bradyarrhythmia: A benign phenomenon? | Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia (English edition)
Advanced age is, unsurprisingly, one of the most important predisposing factors for adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and ADR-related hospital admissions. Elderly patients are more often on polypharmacy and have more extensive comorbidity, which increase the risk of ADRs through drug-drug or drug-disease interactions and abnormal pharmacokinetics. The higher prevalence of cognitive impairment and functional deficits in this group of patients also impacts on treatment adherence and tolerability. Among elderly patients in particular, ADRs are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.1,2 The most frequent ADRs are typically caused by cardiovascular drugs,3 and a significant percentage of all ADRs involve the cardiovascular system, the most frequent drug-related cardiovascular abnormality probably being bradycardia.4 This is commonly referred to as a type of proarrhythmia. Proarrhythmia can result from a direct effect of the drug on the electrophysiological properties of the conduction system, ...
KIT-Über Uns - Team - Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter
Abstract:. Each heartbeat is initiated by cyclic spontaneous depolarization of cardiomyocytes in the sinus node forming the primary natural pacemaker. In patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis, it was recently shown that the heart rate drops to very low values before they suffer from sudden cardiac death with an unexplained high incidence. We hypothesize that the electrolyte changes commonly occurring in these patients affect sinus node beating rate and could be responsible for severe bradycardia. To test this hypothesis, we extended the Fabbri et al. computational model of human sinus node cells to account for the dynamic intracellular balance of ion concentrations. Using this model, we systematically tested the effect of altered extracellular potassium, calcium, and sodium concentrations. Although sodium changes had negligible (0.15 bpm/mM) and potassium changes mild effects (8 bpm/mM), calcium changes markedly affected the beating rate (46 bpm/mM ionized calcium without ...

Percussion pacing involves using ones fist to repeatedly strike a patients left sternal border in a rhythmic manner. The resulting increase in ventricular pressure can trigger myocardial depolarization and subsequent contraction. We describe the successful treatment of acute preoperative symptomatic sinus bradycardia with percussion pacing in a 63-year-old patient scheduled for placement of a gastric feeding tube after trauma involving spinal cord injury. Although no longer included in current advanced cardiovascular life support guidelines, percussion pacing may be a suitable alternative to chest compressions in multitrauma cases where the force of compressions could cause further complications ...

Bradycardia
Normal range of heart rates in the afternoon has been reported to be 46 to 93 beats per minute for men, and 51 to 95 beats per minute for women.. Nocturnal rates are slower, decreasing during sleep by an average of 24 beats per minute in young adults and by 14 beats in those over 80 years of age. Trained athletes are prone to bradycardia (slow pulses) with heart rates below 40 beats per minute common at rest. In view of these findings, the American Heart Association current guidelines for pacemaker implantation (a battery powered,lithium-iodine type, electronic,pulse generating device embedded under the skin of the chest, just below the right clavicle usually, and connected to the right atrium and/or ventricle by a sterile wire, which is guided through the cephalic vein) advise the following:. 1.

An apparatus and method for controlling pulse energy in an arrythmia control device wherein bradycardia pacing pulses are normally delivered at a first energy, and after antitachycardia therapy, bradycardia pulses are delivered at a second energy, the second energy being greater than the first energy. The antitachycardia therapy may be at least one of antitachycardia pacing, cardioversion and defibrillation; and is delivered at a third energy level greater than said second energy level. The second energy level is maintained for a predetermined period of time and then returned to the normal bradycardia pacing energy.
Contemporary Pacemakers: What the Primary Care Physician Needs to Know
Pacemaker therapy is most commonly initiated because of symptomatic bradycardia, usually resulting from sinus node disease. Randomized multicenter trials assessing the relative benefits of different pacing modes have made possible an evidence-based approach to the treatment of bradyarrhythmias. During the past several decades, major advances In technology and in our understanding of cardiac pathophysiology have led to the development of new pacing techniques for the treatment of heart failure in the absence of bradycardia. Left ventricular or biventricular pacing may improve symptoms of heart failure and objective measurements of left ventricular systolic dysfunction by resynchronizing cardiac contraction. However, emerging clinical data suggest that long-term right ventricular apical pacing may have harmful effects. As the complexity of cardiac pacing devices continues to grow, physicians need to have a basic understanding of device indications, device function, and common problems encountered ...

Diagnosis and Treatment of Sick Sinus Syndrome - American Family Physician
Sick sinus syndrome comprises a variety of conditions involving sinus node dysfunction and commonly affects elderly persons. While the syndrome can have many causes, it usually is idiopathic. Patients may experience syncope, pre-syncope, palpitations, or dizziness; however, they often are asymptomatic or have subtle or nonspecific symptoms. Sick sinus syndrome has multiple manifestations on electrocardiogram, including sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, sinoatrial block, and alternating patterns of bradycardia and tachycardia (bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome). Diagnosis of sick sinus syndrome can be difficult because of its nonspecific symptoms and elusive findings on electrocardiogram or Holter monitor. The mainstay of treatment is atrial or dual-chamber pacemaker placement, which generally provides effective relief of symptoms and lowers the incidence of atrial fibrillation, thromboembolic events, heart failure, and mortality, compared with ventricular pacemakers.
Suspected vagal reflex bradycardia in a calf undergoing surgical resection of an infected urachus | Veterinary Record Case...
A four-week-old Charolais heifer was referred for surgical treatment of an infected umbilicus. The heifer was sedated with intravenous xylazine, and an indwelling intravenous jugular cannula was placed. General anaesthesia was induced with intravenous ketamine and maintained with isoflurane in 100 per cent oxygen. Surgical exploration of the abdomen revealed an infected urachus originating from the apex of the bladder and bilaterally infected umbilical arteries. Anaesthesia was stable for 35 minutes until surgical traction of the urachus and umbilical arteries resulted in bradycardia and hypoventilation/apnoea, which resolved when the traction was released, but recurred as and when traction was reinitiated. Collaboration between the anaesthetist and the surgeon was necessary to progress the procedure while minimising perturbations in physiology. Towards the end of the procedure, during peritoneal lavage with sterile saline, severe bradycardia developed (heart rate ,20 bpm) and was successfully ...
Sinus node dysfunction in acute myocardial infarction. | Heart
The frequency, clinical course, and prognosis of sinus node dysfunction in 431 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the coronary care unit were studied. Sinus node dysfunction occurred in 20 patients. In 13, the principal manifestation consisted of severe sinus bradycardia. In the remaining 7, periods of bradycardia alternating with episodes of supraventricular tachycardia were noted. Though several of the patients with sinus bradycardia required intravenous atropine or temporary pacing, normal sinus rhythm returned in virtually all during follow-up. The clinical course of patients with both bradycardia and tachycardia was less benign, during the acute phase and during follow-up; 5 of the 6 survivors required continued antiarrhythmic therapy or permanent pacing. The differences in the clinical course between these two groups of patients may reflect distinct underlying pathological changes. The findings in this study suggest that in contrast to sinus bradycardia, the occurrence ...

Mechanism of syncope in patients with positive adenosine triphosphate tests | JACC: Journal of the American College of...
The main conclusion of this prospective study is that in patients with adenosine-sensitive syncope, the mechanism of syncope is heterogeneous, although bradycardia is the most frequent finding. The causal relationship between ATP-induced AV block and syncope due to paroxysmal AV block is weak. Atrioventricular block induced by ATP predicts AV block as the mechanism of spontaneous syncope in only a few tilt-negative cases.. At the time of ILR-documented syncope, about half of the patients showed long pauses, and two-thirds had severe bradycardia. Sinus arrest or bradycardia was more frequent in patients who had an associated positive response during tilt testing. This finding is consistent with that observed in a previous study in patients with tilt-positive syncope (8). The finding of progressive sinus bradycardia frequently followed by sinus arrest has been regarded as highly suggestive of a neurally mediated mechanism. The association between AV block and sinus arrest, as in Patient no. 4, ...
A rare case of atropine-resistant bradycardia following sugammadex administration | JA Clinical Reports | Full Text
Profound bradycardia caused by sugammadex has been reported, although its mechanism is unclear. Herein, we suggest a possible culprit for this phenomenon. A 50-year-old woman without comorbidity except mild obesity underwent a transabdominal hysterectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy. After surgery, sugammadex 200 mg was intravenously administered. Approximately 4 min later, her heart rate decreased to 36 bpm accompanied by hypotension (41/20 mmHg) and ST depression in limb lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Atropine 0.5 mg was injected intravenously without improving the hemodynamics. Intravenous adrenaline 0.5 mg was added despite the lack of signs suggesting allergic reactions. Her heart rate and blood pressure quickly recovered and remained stable thereafter, although 12-lead ECG taken 1 h later still showed ST depression. In this case, the significant bradycardia appeared attributable to coronary vasospasm (Kounis syndrome) induced by sugammadex, considering the ECG findings and high incidence of

SINUS BRADYCARDIA IN ACUTE RHEUMATIC FEVER* | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of Physicians
INTRODUCTION. Sinus tachycardia is widely recognized as one of the classic features of active rheumatic fever, but the fact that an abnormally slow heart rate is often present during the acute phase of this disease has received little emphasis.. Apparently the first report discussing the occurrence of sinus bradycardia in acute rheumatism was that of Andrieu and Aujalen1 in 1936. Later, Keith2 commented on the pulse rates observed in a large series of rheumatic children. He found that many cases developed a heart rate slower than normal as the acute phase of the illness subsided. Bradycardia was noted to occur ...

AU - Joung, Boyoung. AU - Hwang, Hye Jin. AU - Pak, Hui Nam. AU - Lee, Moon Hyoung. AU - Shen, Changyu. AU - Lin, Shien Fong. AU - Chen, Peng Sheng. PY - 2011/12. Y1 - 2011/12. N2 - Background-We hypothesized that unresponsiveness of superior sinoatrial node (SAN) to sympathetic stimulation is strongly associated with the development of symptomatic bradycardia in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods and Results-We performed 3D endocardial mapping in healthy controls (group 1, n=10) and patients with AF without (group 2, n=57) or with (group 3, n=15) symptomatic bradycardia at baseline and during isoproterenol infusion. Corrected SAN recovery time was abnormal in 0%, 11%, and 36% of groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively (P=0.02). At baseline, 90%, 26%, and 7% (P,0.001) of the patients had multicentric SAN ...

In the absence of anti-digoxin Fab: Give insulin/dextrose for potassium >5,5. Do not give calcium. Consider treating severe bradycardia due to AV block with temporary pacing Treat ventricular fibrillation with low-energy direct current cardioversion. Previously forced vomiting or performing gastric lavage was part of the treatment of poisoning, but is no longer recommended. There is a lack of evidence that weighs efficacy versus harm. Activated charcoal is still used, since it binds toxins in the gastrointestinal tract to reduce absorption. It is uncertain whether repeated administration of activated charcoal is effective, in theory interrupting enterohepatic cycling. This treatment is used for digoxin poisoning, another cardiac glycoside. Supportive care like monitoring vitals and electrolyte and fluid balance is ...
Epidemiological, demographic, laboratory, clinical management, and outcome data of symptomatic bradyarrhythmia in COVID-19...
Out of the 15 patients, 5 patients expired and 3 patients rhythm had self-reverted. A permanent pacemaker was inserted in the remaining 7 patients. Permanent pacemaker implantation was done after clinical recovery of the patient or after 14 days of COVID-19 infection; whichever is maximum. 2 patients had a dual chamber pacemaker implanted and in the remaining five, a single chamber pacemaker was implanted.. Discussion. COVID-19 has been associated with the development of cardiac dysfunction in patients with or without underlying cardiac condition. The exact mechanism of cardiac involvement during COVID-19 remains unknown and is open to debate. Acute bradycardia in a COVID-19 patient may be either due to direct SARS-CoV-2 infiltration of myocardial cells and the dedicated conduction system, aggravation of preexisting conduction disease during acute illness, or maybe as a result of collateral damage from systemic inflammatory reaction and cytokine storm.2 Also, as myocarditis has been extensively ...
DailyMed - CORDCYTE- human cord blood hematopoietic progenitor cell injection, suspension
Infusion reactions are expected to occur and include nausea, vomiting, fever, rigors or chills, flushing, dyspnea, hypoxemia, chest tightness, hypertension, tachycardia, bradycardia, dysgeusia, hematuria, and mild headache. Premedication with antipyretics, histamine antagonists, and corticosteroids may reduce the incidence and intensity of infusion reactions. Severe reactions, including respiratory distress, severe bronchospasm, severe bradycardia with heart block or other arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, hypotension, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, renal compromise, encephalopathy, loss of consciousness, and seizure also may occur. Many of these reactions are related to the amount of DMSO administered. Minimizing the amount of DMSO administered may reduce the risk of such reactions, although idiosyncratic responses may occur even at DMSO doses thought to be tolerated. The actual amount of DMSO depends on the method of preparation of the product for infusion. Limiting the amount of DMSO infused ...

A common Shox2-Nkx2-5 antagonistic mechanism primes the pacemaker cell fate in the pulmonary vein myocardium and sinoatrial...
Extensive research has been conducted on the genetic regulation of SAN development as a whole unit. However, the existence of genetically distinguishable domains, i.e. the Nkx2-5+ SA junction and Nkx2-5− SAN head, within the developing SAN indicates the involvement of different regulatory mechanisms for these two domains. Shox2 was originally thought to regulate SAN development by preventing ectopic Nkx2-5 activation in the SAN (Blaschke et al., 2007; Espinoza-Lewis et al., 2009). However, as shown in the present study, the situation is more complicated. We provide unambiguous evidence that Shox2 is co-expressed with Nkx2-5 in the SA junction during SAN development, and loss of Shox2 in the Nkx2-5+ domain leads to severely hypoplastic and eventually unidentifiable SA junction structures. The compromised SAN function in the mutant mice, which is manifested as severe bradycardia, irregular R-R intervals and variable P-R intervals, demonstrates for the first time the requirement for Shox2 in the ...

Hypo and hyperthermic prevention - Dirtscrolls
Signs of hypothermia increase and become more severe as the core body temperature drops. Symptoms include shivering, social withdrawal, pupil dilation, cardiac arrhythmia, confusion, loss of consciousness, severe bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and cardiac arrest.. Prevention of frostbite and hypothermia can be accomplished successfully with proper education, awareness of the changing climate, and appropriate clothing. Cold- weather riding is best when the body is not too warm (excess perspiring leading to cold evaporation) or too cold.. The best strategy is a layered approach, which regulates heat through the layers and also allows for easy cooling by simply removing layers as needed. Every persons body is different in heat regulation and perspiration based on skin and fat composition. Below is a guide based on temperature ratings geared towards the mountain biker, as average riding speeds are less than that of the roadie and therefore wind-chill factor comes less into play.

Abstract: Facial paralysis is the most frequent unilateral cranial nerve pathology affecting pregnant population 2 to 4 times more often than the nonpregnant population. There exists an association with preeclampsia but this has largely been overlooked. Clinicians often dismiss it for idiopathic palsy as seen in the present case. A 30-year-old woman, Gravida 4, Para 3, presented at 26 weeks pregnancy with complaints of facial weakness, blurring of vision, altered taste sensation, increased noise sensitivity for 1 month, headache since 18 days, and vomiting since 2-3 days. Her pulse was 90/min, BP was 170/120, and RR was 18/min. Uterus was 18 weeks size and proteinuria++ was present. Ultrasonography revealed a 26 weeks fetus, severe bradycardia, and absent liquor. HELLP syndrome was diagnosed after investigations. Six units of fresh frozen plasma were transfused. An informed decision for termination of pregnancy was made. She delivered a 450?gram stillborn. The third stage was complicated with ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Hypertension, bradycardia, and pulmonary edema in the conscious rabbit after brainstem lesions coinciding with the A1 group of catecholamine neurons. AU - Blessing, W. W.. AU - West, M. J.. AU - Chalmers, J.. PY - 1981/10. Y1 - 1981/10. N2 - We studied the effects of lesions in the ventrolateral medulla, in a region coinciding with the cell bodies of the A1 group of catecholamine neurons. After bilateral electrolytic lesions at three contiguous rostrocaudal levels (obex and at 1 and 2 mm caudal to the obex), mean arterial pressure increased by 40 mm Hg in the conscious rabbit. This rise in pressure was associated with increased resistance in the distal aortic vascular bed and with profound bradycardia. Many lesioned animals developed respiratory distress in the first few postoperative hours and died with hemorrhagic pulmonary edema. In surviving rabbits, the distal aortic resistance remained raised throughout the 2-week observation period, but the blood pressure and heart rate ...

JCI - Severe peri-ictal respiratory dysfunction is common in Dravet syndrome
Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe childhood-onset epilepsy commonly due to mutations of the sodium channel gene SCN1A. DS patients have a high risk of sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP), believed to be due to cardiac mechanisms. Here we show that DS patients have peri-ictal respiratory dysfunction. One patient who had severe and prolonged postictal hypoventilation later died of SUDEP. Mice with an Scn1aR1407X/+ loss of function mutation died after spontaneous and heat-induced seizures due to central apnea followed by progressive bradycardia. Death could be prevented with mechanical ventilation after seizures induced by hyperthermia or maximal electroshock. Muscarinic receptor antagonists did not prevent bradycardia or death when given at doses selective for peripheral parasympathetic blockade, whereas apnea was prevented at doses known to be high enough to cross the blood brain barrier. Anoxia causes bradycardia due to a direct effect on the heart. We conclude that SUDEP in DS may ...

Selective Vagal Stimulation for Rate Control in Atrial Fibrillation | Circulation
Pharmacological therapy has long been the primary technique for controlling ventricular rates in patients with atrial fibrillation. Cardiac glycosides, β-adrenergic blockers, or calcium channels blockers are used, alone or frequently in combination, to prolong atrioventricular (AV) nodal refractoriness. Increased concealed conduction in the AV node results in moderation of the ventricular rate with conduction now occurring in an irregularly, irregular pattern. Although AV nodal blocking agents are usually considered to be safer and better tolerated than most membrane-active antiarrhythmic drugs, they do have some potential disadvantages. Many patients will require more than one agent. In patients with intermittent atrial fibrillation, excess bradycardia due to intrinsic or drug-induced sinus node dysfunction may be seen. Nocturnal bradycardia is common even if daytime or exercise rates are poorly controlled. Stress from an acute severe illness may make heart rate control difficult even in ...

Rhythms and Arrhythmia - Cardionetics
The rate at which the heart beats is measured in beats per minute (or bpm) and is generally calculated over several RR intervals. The normal rate in an adult is between 50 and 120 bpm. However, it is natural for a healthy heart to beat at rates outside of this range when resting, exercising, or in response to other external factors and emotions.. Alterations in heart rhythm, arrhythmias, are heartbeats that are irregular, too fast, too slow, or conducted via an abnormal electrical pathway through the heart.. In common usage, the term dysrhythmia is synonymous with arrhythmia, although in the strictest sense, arrhythmia is the absence of cardiac rhythm and dysrhythmia is an abnormal cardiac rhythm.. The term bradyarrhythmia is used to define abnormally slow rhythms, either regular or irregular, or a slow ventricular response due to heart block.. Tachyarrhythmia describes arrhythmia characterised by a rapid irregular heartbeat.. Rhythms and arrhythmia are further classified by the site of the ...

HEMANGEOLTM prevents the response of endogenous catecholamines to correct hypoglycemia and masks the adrenergic warning signs of hypoglycemia, particularly tachycardia, palpitations and sweating. HEMANGEOLTM can cause hypoglycemia in children, especially when they are not feeding regularly or are vomiting; withhold the dose under these conditions. Hypoglycemia may present in the form of seizures, lethargy, or coma. If a child has clinical signs of hypoglycemia, parents should discontinue HEMANGEOLTM and call their health care provider immediately or take the child to the emergency room. Concomitant treatment with corticosteroids may increase the risks of hypoglycemia. HEMANGEOLTM may cause or worsen bradycardia or hypotension. Monitor heart rate and blood pressure after treatment initiation or increase in dose. Discontinue treatment if severe (,80 beats per minute) or symptomatic bradycardia or hypotension (systolic blood pressure ,50 mmHg) occurs. HEMANGEOLTM can cause bronchospasm; do not use ...
