[Rapid atrial stimulation in the treatment of atrial flutter (author's transl)]. 1979

U Klinnert, and A Schedler

Study on 35 patients suffering from atrial flutter, in which rapid atrial stimulation was made 40 times. Stimulation-catheters were introduced only by control of the intracardiac ecg without x-ray control. Sinus rhythm was restored in 31 cases, in 17 cases intermediate atrial fibrillation of varying length of duration. In 5 cases atrial fibrillation with normofrequent ventricular action was achieved. Appreciable complications were not seen. Essential advantages of the rapid atrial stimulation are the additional diagnostic information by the intracardiac ecg, the dispensable narcosis, the independence of a simultaneous medicamentous treatment, and the use in cases of sick sinus syndrome, too.

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

D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
D001281 Atrial Fibrillation Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.
