Abstract

Transient elevation of the ST segment was observed in a patient during noncardiogenic shock. The coronarography was negative. The patient received dopamine infusion. The 48 yr-old man had Crohn disease with septicaemia and ARDS. The exact pathomechanism is not known, but the negative coronarography ruled out the epicardial coronary disease. The suggested mechanisms are dopamine induced coronary vasoconstriction or complement activation.

Safety of nerve conduction studies in patients with implanted cardiac devices.

Patients with implanted cardiac devices and their physicians may defer important electrodiagnostic testing because of anxiety about potential negative effects on the device. To determine the safety of routine nerve conduction studies (NCS) in this population, 10 patients with permanent dual-chamber pacemakers of various types and five patients with implanted cardiac defibrillators (ICD) underwent nerve stimulation at sites commonly used during NCS. The implanted cardiac device was interrogated before and after the study and there was continuous monitoring of the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) and atrial and ventricular electrograms. Electrical impulses generated during routine NCS were never detected by the sensing amplifier and did not affect the programmed settings of the implanted cardiac device. We conclude that routine NCS is safe in patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers with bipolar sensing configurations and defibrillators.

The early repolarization variant--normal or a marker of heart disease in certain subjects.

The theory is advanced that the early repolarization variant may not always be benign and that it can become a substrate for ventricular arrhythmias, sudden death, and hypercontractility cardiomyopathy in some subjects, including certain high-performance athletes. In addition, it is suggested that it likely represents part of a spectrum of cardiovascular anomalies related to nonischemic ST elevation including Brugada syndrome, and that it may also have a molecular genetic origin of variable penetrance.
