Cerebral blood flow velocity declines before arterial pressure in patients with orthostatic vasovagal presyncope

Dan Dan, Jeffrey B Hoag, Kenneth A Ellenbogen, Mark A Wood, more

Journal of the American College of Cardiology > 2002 > 39 > 6 > 1039-1045

We studied hemodynamic changes leading to orthostatic vasovagal presyncope to determine whether changes of cerebral artery blood flow velocity precede or follow reductions of arterial pressure.Some evidence suggests that disordered cerebral autoregulation contributes to the occurrence of orthostatic vasovagal syncope. We studied cerebral hemodynamics with transcranial Doppler recordings, and we closely...

Clinical and electrophysiologic effects of calcium channel blockers in patients receiving ibutilide

Mark A. Wood, David M. Gilligan, Chris Brown-Mahoney, Fatemeh Nematzadeh, more

American Heart Journal > 2002 > 143 > 1 > 176-180

Background Ibutilide is indicated for the acute termination of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. Recent work concludes that ibutilide activates a late inward sodium current that is blocked by nifedipine. Because calcium channel blockers are commonly used in patients with atrial fibrillation, it is important to exclude an antagonistic effect on ibutilide in the clinical setting. Methods We performed...

Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia in patients with structural heart disease using cooled radiofrequency energy

Hugh Calkins, Andrew Epstein, Douglas Packer, Amelia M. Arria, more

Journal of the American College of Cardiology > 2000 > 35 > 7 > 1905-1914

OBJECTIVESThe purpose of this multicenter study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation system with internal saline irrigation.BACKGROUNDCatheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) associated with structural heart disease is more difficult than ablation of idiopathic VT. The larger size of responsible reentrant circuits contributes to the difficulty...

Frequency of anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation and reasons for its non-use at a veterans affairs medical center

Brandi C. Bradley, Kelly S. Perdue, Karen A. Tisdel, David M. Gilligan

The American Journal of Cardiology > 2000 > 85 > 5 > 568-572

Randomized clinical trials have led to guidelines for anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is unclear how successfully these guidelines are being implemented in clinical practice and there is concern that anticoagulation is underused. Therefore, we examined the rate of anticoagulation in 998 patients with AF who attended a Veterans Affairs Medical Center over a 2-year period. Warfarin...

Dual-chamber pacing in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

David M. Gilligan

Current Cardiology Reports > 2000 > 2 > 2 > 154-159

This review focuses on recent developments in the field of pacing in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Regarding mechanisms of action, recent data indicates that pacing acts by inducing dysynchronous left ventricular activation, thus reducing contractility and increasing end-systolic volume. Following several positive uncontrolled studies, three randomized crossover trials, with a total of approximately...

Diagnostic utility of mechanical, pharmacological and orthostatic stimulation of the carotid sinus in patients with unexplained syncope

Carlos A Morillo, Maria E Camacho, Mark A Wood, David M Gilligan, more

Journal of the American College of Cardiology > 1999 > 34 > 5 > 1587-1594

OBJECTIVESThe purpose of the present study was to systematically evaluate the diagnostic utility of mechanical, pharmacological and orthostatic stimulation of the carotid sinus in a consecutive series of patients with recurrent unexplained syncope.BACKGROUNDCarotid sinus hypersensitivity (CSH) is an infrequently recognized cause of recurrent unexplained syncope usually diagnosed by carotid sinus massage...

Induction of Ventricular Fibrillation by T Wave Shocks: Observations from Monophasic Action Potential Recordings

Richard K. Shepard, Mark A Wood, Dan Dan, Henry F. Clemo, more

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology > 1999 > 3 > 4 > 335-340

Introduction: Shocks given during the vulnerable period of cardiac repolarization may induce ventricular fibrillation (VF). However, the relationship of the vulnerable period and the monophasic action potential (MAP) has not yet been reported in humans. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to determine how the monophasic action potential recorded from the right ventricle correlates with inducibility...

Suppression of inducible ventricular tachycardia by ibutilide in patients with coronary artery disease

Mark A. Wood, Bruce S. Stambler, Kenneth A. Ellenbogen, David M. Gilligan, more

American Heart Journal > 1998 > 135 > 6 > 1048-1054

Background: Recent studies suggest that class III antiarrhythmic agents may have enhanced efficacy in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia. This study describes the first clinical assessment of the new class III agent ibutilide to suppress inducible monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in human beings. Methods and Results: Fifty-five patients with coronary artery disease and inducible sustained...

Intravenous Amiodarone for Acute Heart Rate Control in the Critically Ill Patient With Atrial Tachyarrhythmias

Henry F. Clemo, Mark A. Wood, David M. Gilligan, Kenneth A. Ellenbogen

The American Journal of Cardiology > 1998 > 81 > 5 > 594-598

Control of heart rate in critically ill patients who develop atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter can be difficult. Amiodarone may be an alternative agent for heart rate control if conventional measures are ineffective. We retrospectively studied intensive care unit patients (n = 38) who received intravenous amiodarone for heart rate control in the setting of hemodynamically destabilizing atrial...

Ethylene Oxide on Electrophysiology Catheters Following Resterilization: Implications for Catheter Reuse

Margaret Ferrell, Carl E. Wolf, Kenneth A. Ellenbogen, Mark A. Wood, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 1997 > 80 > 12 > 1558-1561

Reuse of electrophysiology catheters is an important cost-saving option for many laboratories. However, to be reused safely, catheters must undergo resterilization with ethylene oxide (EtO). Residual EtO levels on resterilized catheters may be high and could pose a risk to patients. Resterilized diagnostic electrophysiology catheters were tested for residual EtO using headspace gas chromatography...

Effect of l-Arginine on Human Coronary Endothelium-Dependent and Physiologic Vasodilation

Arshed A Quyyumi, Nader Dakak, Jean G Diodati, David M Gilligan, more

Journal of the American College of Cardiology > 1997 > 30 > 5 > 1220-1227

Objectives. We hypothesized that l-arginine would improve abnormal coronary vasodilation in response to physiologic stress in patients with atherosclerosis and its risk factors by reversing coronary endothelial dysfunction.Background. Studies have demonstrated that physiologic coronary vasodilation correlates with endothelial function and that l-arginine, the substrate for nitric oxide synthesis,...

The Pacemaker Syndrome — A Matter of Definition

Kenneth A Ellenbogen, David M Gilligan, Mark A Wood, Carlos Morillo, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 1997 > 79 > 9 > 1226-1229

Pacemaker syndrome is an iatrogenic disease that is often underdiagnosed. We propose that pacemaker syndrome represents the clinical consequences of suboptimal atrioventricular (AV) synchrony or AV dyssynchrony, regardless of the pacing mode. Clinicians implanting and programming pacemakers should attempt to optimize AV synchrony to prevent the occurrence of pacemaker syndrome.

Selective slow pathway ablation does not alter enhancement of vagal tone on sinus and atrioventricular nodal function

Mary R. Olsovsky, Michael K. Belz, Bruce S. Stambler, David M. Gilligan, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 1996 > 78 > 11 > 1289-1292

In summary, the intact response of the sinus and AV nodes to edrophonium and phenylephrine supports the safety of selective slow pathway ablation in patients with AVNRT.
