In addition it was possible to assume control of the ventricular rate of contraction whether the ventricles were at that moment in asystole or displaying their own idioventricular rhythm.

Three major categories can be discerned: (1) occult 2:1 A-V block, in which an idioventricular beat "retracts" an otherwise refractory barrier within the A-V node; (2) alternation between dissociated ...

Eleven studies describing sinoatrial (SA) nodal, atrioventricular (AV) nodal or infra-Hisian conduction parameters in the setting of cocaine use were found. Fourteen studies and two case series ...

Paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation unassociated with heart block occurred in two patients with hypomagnesemia. In neither patient were other causes of the arrhythmia apparent. Temporary transvenous ...

Ambulatory electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring is used to help medical professionals diagnose intermittent cardiac arrhythmias that occur only infrequently and unpredictably. Such arrhythmias often ...

Shortly before death on June 11, there was an idioventricular rhythm with a rate of 32, the QRS complexes measured 0.20 second, and the QT interval was 0.92 second (Fig. 1). Autopsy showed lower ...

As a whole, cocaine-associated electrocardiographic abnormalities are well described in the literature (primarily in the form of observational studies, small controlled studies and case reports ...
