Chronic nonparoxysmal junctional tachycardia. 1981

E V Palileo, and R A Bauernfeind, and S P Swiryn, and C R Wyndham, and K M Rosen

We describe an adult with chronic (three years' duration) acquired nonparoxysmal junctional tachycardia, a previously undescribed rhythm. Ambulatory monitoring revealed junctional rates ranging from 75 to 110 beats/min. Electrophysiologic studies demonstrated intact atrioventricular and ventriculoatrial conduction with a normal H-V interval (43 msec) and narrow QRS. Underlying sinus node function appeared to be normal (recovery time of 900 msec). Junctional rate increased with administration of atropine and isoproterenol, suggesting that the junctional pacemaker was located in the proximal His bundle. Electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic observations suggested that this case of chronic nonparoxysmal junctional tachycardia was benign, not necessitating therapy.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

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
