Introduction Hearttransplantation (HT) is the only treatment option in children with heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathies and non-reparable congenital heart diseases. One patient developed a complete AV block during acute rejection at 76 months and received a temporary pacemaker.
The preferred treatment is surgical resection, but antiarrhythmic medications or hearttransplantation have also been used previously. Cardiac fibromas are extremely rare in adults. The cardiac imaging, partic.
A 74-year-old man with a heterotopic hearttransplant experienced alternating episodes of sustained native heart ventricular tachycardia and prolonged asystole. These were managed with cardioversion, drug therapy and pacemaker insertion.
Abstract Introduction Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter originating from the donor s heart is a commonly reported complication post hearttransplant. Case A 47-year-old male presented with atrial tachycardia 6 months post hearttransplant.
She was awake, alert, well perfused, with normal mental status and overall unremarkable physical exam except for a regular tachycardia, possible rales at both bases, some mild RUQ abdominal tenderness. Thus, I believe it is a regular, monomorphic, wide complex tachycardia. Or it could simply still be classic VT. What is the Diagnosis?
Heart attacks typically kill millions of cardiac muscle cells, leaving the heart in a weakened state. Since mammals cannot regenerate cardiac muscle cells on their own, hearttransplants are currently the only clinically viable option for patients suffering (or likely to suffer) heart failure.
Given the efficacy of other class III agents, it has been used off-label for the treatment of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and ventricular tachycardias (VTs). The composite outcome of VT/VF recurrence, hearttransplantation, or death occurred in 6/12 patients (50%) without dofetilide and 49/69 patients (71%) with dofetilide.
Cardiovascular mortality, driven by sudden cardiac death, is the main reason for dying while waiting for hearttransplantation (HTx). CASTLE-VT will randomize 160 patients with a follow-up period of 2years.
