Spectrum of drugs prolonging QT interval and the incidence of torsades de pointes (2001)

Darpö, B.

The incidence of drug-induced proarrhythmias in the general population is largely unknown. Knowledge regarding incidence and risk factors is mainly derived from studies during clinical development of...

The effect of oral magnesium, alone or as an adjuvant to sotalol, after cardioversion in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (2000)

Frick, M., Darpö, B., Östergren, J., Rosenqvist, M.

Aims To determine whether magnesium given orally decreases the recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation after elective direct current cardioversion of persistent atrial fibrillation. Methods and...

Comparison of QT dispersion during atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm in the same patients, at normal and prolonged ventricular repolarization (2000)

Houltz, B., Darpö, B., Swedberg, K., Blomström, P., Jensen, S.M., ...

Aims Drug-induced increase in QT dispersion has been associated with increased risk of ventricular proarrhythmia. The aim of the present study was to compare QT dispersion during atrial fibrillation...

Assessment of accessory pathway and atrial refractoriness by transoesophageal and intracardiac atrial stimulation: An analysis of methodological agreement (1999)

Nanthakumar, K., Bergfeldt, L., Darpö, B.

Aims Measurement of the refractory properties of asymptomatic overt accessory pathways is performed to assess the risk for significant arrhythmias. We hypothesized that a transoesophageal atrial...

Modification of atrioventricular conduction as adjunct therapy for pacemaker-treated patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (1998)

Gadler, F., Linde, C., Darpö, B.

Aims Atrioventricular synchronous pacing offers symptomatic relief for patients with drug-refractory hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Successful treatment requires complete right ventricular...

Prospective study of left ventricular function after radiofrequency ablation of atrioventricular junction in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Edner, M., Caidahl, K., Bergfeldt, L., Darpö, B., Edvardsson, N., Rosenqvist, M.

BACKGROUND--In patients with drug resistant incessant supraventricular tachycardia, radiofrequency induced ablation of the atrioventricular junction and pacemaker implantation have hitherto been...
