1. A retrospective study showed that amiodarone was associated with a better prognosis in patients with documented ventricular tachycardia on electrocardiographic monitoring. 2. In those with non-sustained ventricular tachycardia during electrocardiographic monitoring treatment with low dose amiodarone has been shown to be effective. 3. There was no recurrence of his ventricular tachycardias while he remained in hospital. 4. Moderately late premature ventricular complexes can discharge during the termination of the long T wave, precipitating successive bursts of ventricular tachycardia. 5. Ambulatory monitoring during cardiac arrest has shown that the mechanism is usually VF preceded by a variable period of organised ventricular tachycardia. 6. But if the irregularity persists, it can lead to potentially fatal rhythms known as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. 7. Cheney announced Friday that tests had revealed occasional, brief episodes of ventricular tachycardia, in which the main pumping chamber of the heart beats too quickly. 8. His company submitted an application at the end of January for a new electro-surgical device for treating a heartbeat abnormality called ventricular tachycardia. 9. In addition to cardiac arrest survivors, defibrillators are being implanted in patients who have serious ventricular tachycardia, a potentially lethal speedup of the heartbeat. 10. Last year, on the cardiology service, I had a patient who suffered from a dangerous cardiac rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. |
