Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and clinical features of the quinidine-associated long QT syndrome: Implications for patient care
TL;DR: Clinical data in 24 patients with the quinidine-associated long QT syndrome, 20 of whom had torsade de pointes, were reviewed, delineated several heretofore unreported or underemphasized features and estimated the risk as at least 1.5% per year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrophysiologic actions of high plasma concentrations of propranolol in human subjects.
Henry J. Duff,Dan M. Roden,Leif Brorson,Alastair J. J. Wood,Albert K. Dawson,R.Kirby Primm,John A. Oates,Raphael F. Smith,Raymond L. Woosley +8 more
TL;DR: The concentration-response relations for atrioventricular conductivity and sinus node automaticity were flat above concentrations of 150 ng/ml, and the electrophysiologic effects of a wider concentration range of propranolol was examined in nine patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Administration of prostacyclin prevents ventricular fibrillation following coronary occlusion in conscious dogs.
TL;DR: The effects of PGI2 in preventing ventricular fibrillation following acute coronary occlusion can be ascribed to a direct action of this prostaglandin on the myocardium, rather than to an indirect effect due to a reduction in systemic vascular resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectrum of antiarrhythmic response to encainide
TL;DR: Thirty-seven patients with drug-resistant ventricular arrhythmias were studied and encainide was discontinued in 7 patients: in 2 because of syncope, in 3 because of new-onset atrial fibrillation, in 1 patient because of exercise-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, in1 because of diplopia and in 1 because of skin exanthem.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The data suggest that pulmonary embolism may be a more common complication of routine cardiac catheterization than previously appreciated.
