Alcohol and Cardiac Arrythmias: A Review of the Current Data.

Rev Cardiovasc Med

Saint Mary Medical Center, Internal Medicine Residency, Langhorne, PA 19067, USA.

Published: April 2023

Background: Alcohol is a pervasive substance in the US and the world in general. Cardiac arrythmias, specifically atrial fibrillation, are also a critical health issue. The interplay between alcohol and arrythmia is explored here.

Methods: Original research, editorials and other literature reviews were searched and assessed for candidacy for inclusion and ability to contribute to this article.

Conclusions: Alcohol consumption has a significant interplay with cardiac arrhythmia.

Introduction: Various ventricular repolarization parameters are known to predict ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in various diseases. Although mortality in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is similar to that in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients, studies on this subject are more limited. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the relationship between ventricular arrhythmias and mortality and ventricular repolarization parameters, especially the frontal plane QRS-T angle, in patients with HFpEF.

Human autonomic neuronal cell models are emerging as tools for modelling diseases such as cardiac arrhythmias. In this systematic review, we compared thirty-three articles applying fourteen different protocols to generate sympathetic neurons and three different procedures to produce parasympathetic neurons. All methods involved the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells, and none employed permanent or reversible cell immortalization.

Objective: Methadone may cause detrimental side effects such as corrected QT (QTc) prolongation. However, methadone may be desirable in patients with advanced cancer and those with heart disease who have intractable pain. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of initiating methadone for cancer pain in patients at high risk of methadone-induced QTc prolongation.

Background: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is one of the most common tachyarrhythmias found in young women, and SVT can be exacerbated by pregnancy. The symptoms associated with SVT frequently overlap with physiologic changes and symptoms of pregnancy which can lead to delayed or missed diagnosis.

Case Presentation: We describe the presentation and the acute management of a patient who had sustained SVT that developed during the active phase of labor.

Bidirectional Ventricular Tachycardia due to Pheochromocytoma: A Case Report.

Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol

March 2025

Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital, Division of Cardiology, Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian, China.

Pheochromocytoma, a type of neuroendocrine tumor, can cause numerous symptoms and signs similar to those of other clinical conditions, with the classic triad being palpitations, headache, and diaphoresis. Patients with pheochromocytoma can present with various cardiac complications, including myocarditis, acute coronary syndromes, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Here we report a case of pheochromocytoma that first presented with bidirectional ventricular tachycardia.
