Idioventricular tachycardia with angina pectoris. 1975

B Wong, and J Brymer, and J Goheen, and M Dunn

Idioventricular tachycardia (IVT) occurred in a patient with angina pectoris on three separate occasions associated with stress induced angina. It occurred immediately after a Master's test, a treadmill exercise test, and following an episode of paroxysmal atrial tachycardia which was precipitated by endocardial pacing. His bundle electrograms demonstrated that the rhythm was ventricular in origin. Cardiac catheterization documented the presence of severe coronary artery disease. Idioventricular tachycardia is often seen with acute myocardial infarction. It is rarely seen with angina or with exercise testing. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of IVT which could be repeatedly produced by stress induced angina.

D002036 Bundle of His Small band of specialized CARDIAC MUSCLE fibers that originates in the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE and extends into the membranous part of the interventricular septum. The bundle of His, consisting of the left and the right bundle branches, conducts the electrical impulses to the HEART VENTRICLES in generation of MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D005080 Exercise Test Controlled physical activity which is performed in order to allow assessment of physiological functions, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary, but also aerobic capacity. Maximal (most intense) exercise is usually required but submaximal exercise is also used.
