[Effect of salbutamol on heart rate in patients with atrial fibrillation].

The influence of salbutamol aerosol on heart rate in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation was examined. The study comprised 15 patients (9 women and 6 man) in age 47-79 (mean 60) treated because of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with concomitant atrial fibrillation. The influence of salbutamol on heart rate was investigated during six hours ecg Holter monitoring (3 hours before and 3 hours after using salbutamol). The analysis showed that salbutamol aerosol in two doses increased heart rate calculated as mean heart rate per hour from 3-hours intervals from 4061 congruent to 1022.5 to 4185 congruent to 976 (p greater than 0.05). Mean value of blood pressure in one hour intervals did not change significantly. In patients with concomitant chronic atrial fibrillation and COPD salbutamol increased heart rate but difference between mean values before and after administration was not significant.

[Clinical value of indirect automatic blood pressure determination in patients with atrial fibrillation].

The value of indirect blood pressure in patients with atrial fibrillation was studied. Three methods were compared; single measurement, mean of three measurements and mean value of automatic measurement during 2-hours and whole day. The study comprised 13 patients; 7 men and 6 women aged 52-77 (mean 62.8 congruent to 6.6) hospitalized for cardiac diseases. The measurement were done using the mercury sphygmomanometer and auscultatory Korotkoff technique and automatic blood pressure monitoring (Acutracker--Medilog Oxford). The investigations showed that systolic and diastolic blood pressure during 24-hours monitoring were lower than single or repeated three measurements. The highest correlation coefficient to 24-hours recording was found for the mean value of 2-hours recording. It seems that blood pressure measurement in patients with atrial fibrillation (3-times in few minutes intervals) should be verified by using prolonged automatic recording.

[Effect of stimulation of adrenergic beta receptors on electrophysiologic properties of the bundle of Kent in patients with intermittent Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome].

In 15 patients with intermittent ventricular preexcitation symptoms the effect of intravenously administered dobutamine (10 mcg/kg b.w./min) on the ecg tracing, effective atrial, a-v nodal and Kent bundle refractions as well as the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias were assessed basing on results of the electrophysiologic examination. Pharmacological stimulation of the adrenergic system resulted in highly statistically significant shortening of examined refraction periods (p less than 0,02 for effective Kent bundle refraction and p less than 0,001 for the rest parameters) and improved the conduction via the accessory pathway as well as exacerbated cardiac arrhythmias.

[Effect of pharmacologic blockade of the autonomic nervous system on electrophysiologic properties of the accessory pathway and atrioventricular node in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome].

In 17 patients aged 21-61 (mean 32) with WPW syndrome the transoseophageal stimulation was performed before and after intravenous administration of propranolol (0.1 mg/kg b.w.) and atropine (0.02 mg/kg b.w.). Pharmacological blockade of the autonomic nervous system resulted in statistically significant increase of heart rate (from 81 to 111/min), shortening of a-v nodal and atrial refraction (from 298 to 272 ms) as well as in shortening of stimuli cycle length revealing Wenckebach's point (from 324 to 291 ms). The Kent bundle refraction did not at the average change (333 and 324 ms), while in individuals great differences were observed. Generally, pharmacological blockade of the autonomic nervous system improves a-v nodal conduction, but in patients with WPW syndrome does not significantly effect on the accessory pathway.
