Procainamide, oxprenolol and amiodarone as antidysrhythmic drugs in myocardial ...

Using Holter recordings and based on the principle that most of the survivors of acute myocardial infarction who are going to die suddenly after hospital discharge are those who present ventricular premature beats (VPB), the authors have studied the effect of three different antidysrhythmic drugs - procainamide (PA), oxprenolol (OX) and amiodarones. (AMIOD) - in late phase of acute myocardial infarction. All th...

High-resolution electrocardiography in acute myocardial infarct.

The author starts by highlighting the importance of risk stratification in patients who have survived a myocardial infarction. High resolution electrocardiography, also called signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG), appears in this setting as a diagnostic tool that, by providing important information about the way the intraventricular conduction of the electrical impulse is made, contributes to the charact...

Angina pectoris. Silent ischemia.

One of the most difficult problems related to coronary artery disease is the detection and eventual treatment of silent myocardial ischemia (SMI). After defining the concept of SMI and total ischemia burden, the author approaches the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia and focuses on the ischemic cascade. Concerning the detection of SMI the importance of exercise testing and Holter ECG is stressed. Following...
