Aug. 22, 2002 — Athletes with multiple and even complex ventricular ectopic beats without structural abnormalities are at low risk for sudden cardiac death and need not forgo competition, according to ...

Background A young adult female presented with syncope and periodic weakness. A 12-lead electrocardiogram showed frequent premature ventricular contractions and prolonged QU interval. Repetitive runs ...

Cleveland, OH - A new study shows that frequent ventricular ectopy during recovery after exercise is a better predictor of an increased risk of death than ventricular ectopy during exercise. This is ...

Why has an otherwise healthy woman in her late 60s had repeated episodes of fainting and dizziness for the past several weeks? The woman presented to the emergency department immediately after one ...

While sports can be risky for kids with arrhythmogenic cardiac conditions, researchers are now reporting four cases in which video games triggered syncope from ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.

Although premature ventricular beats (PVBs) in young people and athletes are usually benign, they may rarely mark underlying heart disease and risk of sudden cardiac death during sport. This review ...

Is there a simple way to differentiate a supraventricular tachycardia from a ventricular, wide QRS tachycardia on a rhythm strip? The simplest initial approach is to look at the lead with the most ...

New research finds that low fitness levels and older age are strong and independent risk factors for heartbeat irregularities, or arrhythmias*, in healthy adults. These arrhythmias were previously ...
