Variantes electrofisiológicas de la taquicardia incesante
Electrophysiological variations of incesant tachycardia

Rev. chil. cardiol; 14 (2), 1995
La taquicardia incesante puede ser causada por diferentes mecanismos electrofisiológicos. Desde 1986, hemos estudiado 13 pacientes con taquicardia incesante, 9 hombres y 4 mujeres (edad promedio 35a). Diez pacientes habían recibido múltiples antiarrítmicos y 4 habían desarrollado insuficiencia cardÃ...

Relação entre arritmia ventricular e função cardíaca na doença de Chagas

Arq. bras. cardiol; 64 (6), 1995
PURPOSE--It is well established the association between heart failure and arrhythmias in different cardiopathies. There are no studies in Chagas' myocardiopathy that analyze the relation between arrhythmias and left ventricular function. METHODS--We studied 629 patients with Chagas' disease, divided in 3...

Efficácia das drogas antiarrítmicas. Proposta para uma nova forma de avaliação baseada nos efeitos farmacológicos horários

Arq. bras. cardiol; 64 (6), 1995
PURPOSE--To use a new approach in order to assess the antiarrhythmic drugs, based in the hourly autonomic effects and antiarrhythmic efficacy of sotalol. METHODS--Sixteen patients were evaluated in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study. Patients were classified in group 1 (anti-arrhythmic ef...

Inibidores da enzima de conversäo de angiotensina: farmacologia e uso terapêutico
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors: pharmacology and therapeutic use

J. bras. med; 68 (5), 1995
Os autores revisam a fisiologia do sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterona (S-RAA) na regulaçäo do equilíbrio hidrossalino e homeostase da pressäo arterial. Faz-se abordagem prática dos inibidores da enzima de conversäo (IECAs), com ênfase especial sobre a aplicaçäo clínica dessas drogas. Os IE...

Natural History of chronic Chagas' heart disease: prognosis factors

Säo Paulo med. j; 113 (2), 1995
Chronic Chagas' disease shows several progression modes. Usually, the different clinical syndromes manifest themselves together, however, isolated forms can occur. Cardiac arrhythmias, which are very frequent, are present in about 50 percent of patients. The cardiac damage manifests itself later, with th...

Electrophysiologic study in chronic Chagas' heart disease

Säo Paulo med. j; 113 (2), 1995
Cardiac arrhythmias are common in chagasic patients. Electrophysiologic study is an invasive procedure for the investigation of sinus node function, atrioventricular node conduction and intraventricular (His-Purkinje) conduction and the mechanism of tachycardias. It is useful in elucidating syncope, dizz...

Medical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in Chagas' heart disease

Säo Paulo med. j; 113 (2), 1995
There are no controlled clinical trials evaluating drug therapy in patients with ventricular arrhythmias and chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy. Empirical treatment with disopyramide (400-1,000 mg/d), phenytoin (4-6 mg/d), mexiletine (600-1,200 mg/d), propafenone (900 mg/d), amiodarone (loading: 1,000 mg/d,...
