The sinoatrial block is a new side effect of meglumine antimoniate. Prompt interruption of the drug results in the normalization of electrographic changes and prevents sudden cardiac arrest.

Early Pacemaker Dependency After Heart Transplantation Is Associated with Permanent Pacemaker Implantation, Graft Failure and Mortality.
J Cardiovasc Dev Dis
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Angiology and Pneumology, Heidelberg University Hospital, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany.
Aims: Patients after heart transplantation (HTX) often experience post-transplant bradycardia, but little is known about the outcomes of early pacemaker dependency after HTX. We compared post-transplant mortality, graft failure, and the requirement for the permanent pacemaker implantation of patients with and without early pacemaker dependency after HTX.
Methods: We screened all adult patients for early pacemaker dependency after HTX (defined as immediately after surgery) who underwent HTX at Heidelberg Heart Center between 1989 and 2022.
We describe a case of profound bradyarrhythmia after sugammadex administration during ambulatory anesthesia. The patient was a 21-year-old man with autism spectrum disorder undergoing planned general anesthesia for dental treatment. After treatment completion, sugammadex was administered upon awakening, and sudden bradyarrhythmia appeared immediately.

November 2024
Department of Cardiology, Beijing Ditan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100015, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the heart health of women with HIV using Holter monitoring at Ditan Hospital.
- It analyzed data from 35 female HIV-infected patients, revealing various heart rhythm issues, with the most common being sinus rhythm and various premature beats.
- The findings highlighted that Holter monitoring can detect significant ECG abnormalities in HIV-positive patients, potentially allowing for earlier treatment interventions.
Sinoatrial node function and the role of sinoatrial conduction in the typical atrial flutter substrate.
Heart Rhythm
October 2024
Division of Cardiovascular Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom; Department of Cardiology, John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle, Australia; Hunter Medical Research Institute, Newcastle, Australia. Electronic address:
Background: Sinoatrial node (SAN) activation and sinoatrial conduction pathways (SACPs) have been assessed in animals but not in humans.
Objectives: We used ultrahigh-density mapping and simulated models to characterize the SAN and to investigate whether slowed SAN conduction may contribute to the atrial flutter (AFL) substrate.
Methods: Twenty-seven patients undergoing electrophysiologic procedures had right atrial mapping.
Oral theophylline corrects sinus node dysfunction in acute on chronic lithium toxicity: case report and systematic review of lithium-induced Sinus node dysfunction.
Front Cardiovasc Med
August 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Lithium can cause serious and often unreported cardiac issues like sinus node dysfunction (SND), which can lead to life-threatening conditions such as asystole.
- This study presents the first known successful use of Theophylline to correct SND resulting from lithium toxicity, alongside a systematic review of existing cases.
- Out of 1,117 reports, 49 studies showed that many patients experienced various degrees of SND; the majority recovered without lasting effects, though some required advanced medical interventions like pacemakers.
