This patient then presented a junctional rhythm and finally died in ventricular tachycardia a few hours later on day 8 from intensive care unit admission.

Brief Summary of the Effects of Cocaine on Cardiac Conduction Given the pervasiveness of cocaine use in communities and within hospitals, physicians practicing in emergency …

Mar 1, 2021 · Because the rate of the QRS complexes is faster than the atrial rate, this is sinus bradycardia with an accelerated junctional rhythm.

Feb 21, 2024 · The correct diagnosis is atrial rhythm with AV dissociation and accelerated junctional rhythm (Figure 2). Figure 2. Courtesy of Philip J. Podrid, MD. The rhythm is regular …

Five reports of cocaine-associated junctional rhythms were encountered. [82, 90, 140, 163, 174] One case occurred after an episode of ventricular fibrillation treated with epinephrine, atropine ...

Aug 23, 2021 · The etiology of atrioventricular dissociation may be complete heart block, in which the atrial rate is faster than the rate of the QRS complexes, or accelerated junctional rhythm, in …

Increased heart rate in the setting of acute cocaine use was ubiquitous in experimental studies investigating cocaine-associated rhythm disturbances.

Given the high prevalence and incidence of cocaine use, coupled with its frequent implication in drug-related deaths [4] and autopsy studies suggestive of fatal cardiac arrhythmias in such …

In the NORMO group, one patient had accelerated junctional rhythm associated with hypotension. In the HYPO group, one patient had nonsustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.

Dec 16, 2013 · Discussion Judging from the timing, these waves could pass as P waves with first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, U waves, or both, and it cannot be settled. In the rhythm …
