Case Report of High-Grade Atrioventricular Block and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
CONCLUSION: When AVB or other arrhythmias initiate a TTC, the patient can experience sudden cardiac death and decompensate quickly. Therefore, clinicians should understand this rare but fatal complication because these patients require pacemakers and beta blockers.PMID:35348088 | PMC:PMC8817916 | DOI:10.7812/TPP/21.006

Antiarrhythmics for maintaining sinus rhythm after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: There is high-certainty evidence of increased mortality associated with sotalol treatment, and low-certainty evidence suggesting increased mortality with quinidine, when used for maintaining sinus rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation. We found few data on mortality in people taking disopyramide, flecainide and propafenone, so it was not possible to make a reliable estimation of the mortality risk for these drugs. However, we did find moderate-certainty evidence of marked increases in proarrhythmia and adverse effects with flecainide.Overall, there is evidence showing that antiarrhythmic drugs increase adv...

Influences of Corydalis decumbens on the Activities of CYP450 Enzymes in Rats with a Cocktail Approach.
Abstract Corydalis decumbens, a Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been widely used for the alternative and/or complementary therapy of hypertension, arrhythmias rheumatoid arthritis, sciatica, stroke, hemiplegia, paraplegia, and vascular embolism. The aim of this study was to determinate the potential effects of Corydalis decumbens on the five cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activities (CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6) by cocktail approach. To evaluate whether concurrent use of Corydalis decumbens interferes with the effect of several prescription drugs, saline (control group) or Corydalis decumbens (XTW ...

Atrial Fibrillation and Injected Aripiprazole: A Case Report
Conclusion In summary, although it is not possible to exclude confounding factors, the timing and dose-dependent effect of aripiprazole administration in our patient suggests an association between an initial intramuscular injection of long-acting aripiprazole and new onset of AF. This observation calls for clinical vigilance, not only in patients with additional risk factors for stroke but also in younger patients who might have predisposing factors for arrhythmias.
