Cardiac rhythm disorder like ventricular extrasystole, has been observed into two of the twenty-eight patients with concomitant pathology, undergone to the epidural anesthesia with 0.50% Bupivacaine. The A.A., think that the strong sensitivity of the patients to the B., has been caused by concomitant symptoms from which they were suffering.

D005117	Cardiac Complexes, Premature	A group of cardiac arrhythmias in which the cardiac contractions are not initiated at the SINOATRIAL NODE. They include both atrial and ventricular premature beats, and are also known as extra or ectopic heartbeats. Their frequency is increased in heart diseases.
