[Cardiac arrhythmias during dialysis. An unresolved problem].

The incidence of the arrhythmias in 47 patients subjected to chronic hospital dialysis using different techniques has been assessed. Cardiopathies and non-cardiopathies were assessed separately. In the first group, no significant differences were observed with respect to the presence of heart rhythm disturbances. The second group showed increased ventricular arrhythmias during the intradialysis and postdialysis period. A statistical correlation was carried out between the presence of arrhythmias and various parameters (technique of dialysis, weight difference, ultrafiltrate/hour, age). The only statistically significant correlation in the non-cardiopathies was age.

Severe electrocardiographic abnormalities during arfonad administration.

Severe and reversible electrocardiographic abnormalities (first degree atrioventricular block, left bundle branch block, ventricular fibrillation), were induced by the administration of Arfonad in a patient with type III acute aortic dissection previously chronically treated with alpha-methyl-dopa. Any other possible cause of the electrocardiographic changes was excluded on the basis of clinical findings and laboratory studies. The explanation of the electrocardiographic abnormalities induced by Arfonad are not readily apparent, also on careful review of the literature. We suggest a strict electrocardiographic monitoring during Arfonad administration especially in patients with cardiac conduction defects and previous administration of cardiac cathecholamines depleting drugs.
