Disease relevance of Tachycardia, Ectopic Junctional

Both the intravenous efficacy and the oral efficacy of 2 class IC antiarrhythmic drugs, encainide and flecainide, were studied in 16 patients with atrial ectopic tachycardia and in 3 patients with junctional ectopic tachycardia, using exercise testing, 24-hour long-term electrocardiography and programmed electrical stimulation [1].
To elucidate the mechanism of junctional ectopic tachycardia, surgical correlations were studied in four types of congenital heart defects involving closure of a ventricular septal defect, relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, or both [2].
RESULTS: Junctional ectopic tachycardia occurred most frequently after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (n = 25; 21.9%), with no cases occurring after repair of common trunk, 6 occurring after repair of ventricular septal defect (3.7%), and 6 occurring after repair of atrioventricular septal defect (10.3%) [2].
Tachycardia cardiomyopathy was noted in four (three atrial tachycardia and one junctional ectopic tachycardia) and all regressed after successful ablation [3].
Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia after use of intravenous amiodarone for postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia [4].

High impact information on Tachycardia, Ectopic Junctional

Intravenous amiodarone can be lifesaving, particularly for postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia, when standard therapy is ineffective [5].
Efficacy and safety of propafenone in congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia [6].
Use of adenosine in postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia with 1:1 retrograde atrial conduction [7].
Encainide versus flecainide for chronic atrial and junctional ectopic tachycardia [1].
Junctional ectopic tachycardia and verapamil [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Tachycardia, Ectopic Junctional

Usefulness of oral sotalol for the treatment of junctional ectopic tachycardia [9].
