[Effects of oxyfedrine on sino-atrial function and on conduction in patients with sinus node and/or atrial dysrhythmias (author's transl)]. 1977

The electrophysiological effects of Oxyfedrine on sino-atrial function and on A-V junctional and subjunctional conduction have been studied in 16 patients with sinus node and/or atrial dysrhythmias. The following effects have been observed: --a positive chronotropic effect on the sinus node; --an essentially indirect (rate-dependent) shortening of the Functional and Effective Refractory Periods (FRP and ERP) of the atria without variation of the Intra-Atrial Conduction Time (HRA-LRA). There was no significant shortening of the Maximal Atrial Latency (max AL), of the Corrected Sinus Node Recovery Time (CSNRT) and of the Sino-Atrial Conduction Time (SACT). The limits of Zones I, II, III of the sinus node response to atrial extra-stimuli were reduced with no significant change in their duration, expressed as percentage of the Sinus Cycle Length (SCL); --an improvement in the A-V junctional conduction (shortening of the A-H interval for comparable cycle lengths) due to a relatively shortened A-V junctional ERP. The use of the drug in patients with sinus bradycardia and/or atrial dysrhythmias and conduction disturbances, is proposed.

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
D005260 Female Females
D006327 Heart Block Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.
