Abstract

Temporary intracardiac pacing was succesful in suppressing recurrent ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation in the absence of complete heart block. The ventricular ectopic activity was permanently abolished after the pacemaker catheter was removed. It is suggested that, should other conventional forms of therapy such as cardiac depressant drugs be ineffective, temporary intracardiac pacing may be useful ine the control of this serious tachyarrythmia.

PAROKSİSMAL VENTRİKÜLER TAŞİKARDİ VE FİBRİLASYON NöBETLERiNiN TRANSVENöZ PACİNG İLE TEDAVİSİ

Abstract

Komplet kalp bloğu ile birlikte olmayan ventriküler taşikardi ve fibrilasyon paroksizmlerinde, geçici intrakardiyak pacing aritmiyi kontrol etmede başarılıdır. Pacing durdurulduktan sonra ektopik aktivite tekrarlamaz. Kardiyak depresan ilaçlar gibi bilinen diğer tedavi yöntemlerinin etkisiz kaldığı durumlarda, geçici intrakardiyak pacingin bu önemli aritminin kontrolünde yararlı olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
