Atrioventricular Dissociation
Auriculo Ventricular Dissociation

Presentation

Sometimes VT with retrograde conduction can result in AV association during VT (especially in slow VT's or when an accessory connection between ventricles and atria is present) A rare presentation of AV dissociation is called isorhythmic A-V dissociation [en.ecgpedia.org]

We present a case of a 19-week-old fetus with atrioventricular dissociation, which spontaneously resolved. The mother had no signs of autoimmune disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract We present a case of broad QRS complex tachycardia and atrioventricular (AV) dissociation that was documented duringelectrophysiological study to be a supraventricular rather than a ventricular tachycardia. [ojs.kardiologiapolska.pl]

    We present a case of a young man with meningococcal meningitis and various asymptomatic temporary ECG abnormalities, including sinus bradycardia, atrioventricular dissociation and non specific ST-T changes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Most patients with first-degree block are asymptomatic, and the condition is usually an incidental finding. Second-degree AV blocks are further divided into two different subtypes. [amboss.com]

    Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk for mortality and heart failure progression in patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction: a retrospective analysis of the SOLVD trials. [books.google.com]

  • Weakness

    Autoimmune Hepatitis On September 1st 2011, I woke up severely jaundiced, nauseous and weak. A trip to the emergency room revealed that I was in fulminant liver failure. After 2 years of testing, it was determined that I had autoimmune hepatitis. [liverfoundation.org]

    Steroids can make your bones weak, cause you to add pounds, and give you eye problems. Azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine can lower the number of your white blood cells and raise your chances of getting cancer. [webmd.com]

  • Malaise

    […] symptoms related to AV dissociation are present, they are related to bradycardia, tachycardia, AV dyssynchrony, or loss of atrial “kick” and include the following: Exertional dyspnea Light-headedness Throbbing sensation in neck Palpitations Fatigue, malaise [odlarmed.com]

    Therapy should be reserved mainly for those individuals who are symptomatic with jaundice, pruritus, and/or malaise. Summary The characteristic features of the variant syndromes of AIH are summarised in table 1. [gut.bmj.com]

    Presenting symptoms may include fatigue, lethargy, malaise, arthralgia of small joints, anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain, and dark urine. These symptoms are nonspecific and contribute to the delay in diagnosis. [hindawi.com]

  • Collapse

    In some patients with VT, they may not be in a state of collapse, but present with dizziness, palpitations, syncope, chest pain or heart failure. Some patients with SVT and poor ventricular function may present in a state of haemodynamic collapse. [patient.info]

    The indications are also reflective of risk factors for disease progression as severely abnormal liver enzyme elevation, incapacitating symptoms, histological presence of interface hepatitis, bridging necrosis, or multiacinar collapse portend a worse [hindawi.com]

    In a series reported by Gregorio et al in 1997, 70% of children with AIH-1 and 40% of children with AIH-2 developed cirrhosis. [37] Of the 52 children, 17% had multiacinar or panacinar collapse with acute liver failure. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Pathologist

    The liver tissue is sent to a pathologist who looks at the sample under a microscope and does special staining to further examine it. A liver biopsy may not completely exclude or confirm AIH. [rarediseases.org]

    Actually this is where having a good liver pathologist review the biopsy slides is really important. That’s one of the first things we do when we have a new autoimmune patient, even if they’re already biopsied, is look at their slides. [med.unc.edu]

Respiratoric

  • Exertional Dyspnea

    Exertional dyspnea Breathlessness on mild exertion or at rest is a symptom shown to be associated with AV dissociation. It results from reduced cardiac output causing reduced tissue perfusion, particularly during irregular or a rapid heart rate. [medicaljoyworks.com]

    Clinical History AV dissociation can be asymptomatic, but if symptoms related to AV dissociation are present, they are related to bradycardia, tachycardia, AV dyssynchrony, or loss of atrial “kick” and include the following: Exertional dyspnea Light-headedness [odlarmed.com]

    In 3rd degree AV block the atrial and ventricular rhythms are dissociated, however, in clinical practice to avoid confusion we do not add the term “AV dissociation” to “complete heart block”. [slideshare.net]

    Mobitz type II AV block is a rarer and more serious form of second-degree heart block. [clinicalgate.com]

    We suggest cautious use of IL-2 in patients with predisposing factors who are at risk for heart block. It should be contraindicated in patients already diagnosed with heart block. [internalmedicine.imedpub.com]

    Thus, symptomatic hypotension due to AV dissociation, presumably the result of transient autonomic disturbance, may be another manifestation of neurally-mediated syncope. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Because of the LVH, the loss of coordinated atrial contraction may explain the hypotension. [journals.lww.com]

PR Interval

  • Prolonged PR Interval

    A PR interval of up to 0.48 s had been reported in literature. Data is sparse on an extremely prolonged PR interval associated with Atrioventricular Dissociation and Pseudo-Pacemaker Syndrome. [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]

    Prolonged PR Interval (First-Degree AV Block) First-degree AV block ( Fig. 17-2 ) is characterized by a P wave (usually sinus in origin) followed by a QRS complex with a uniformly prolonged PR interval greater than 200 msec. [clinicalgate.com]

Rhythm

  • Sinus Arrest

    Isorhythmic AV Dissociation Isorhythmic AV dissociation is a AV dissociation initiated by slowing of SA node due to sinus arrhythmia, sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, or sino atrial exit block. [wikidoc.org]

    Interference AV dissociation is initiated by slowing of the sinus node due to sinus bradycardia or sinus arrest, thereby allowing an independent subsidiary pacemaker in the junction (narrow QRS complex) or the ventricle (wide QRS complex) to take over [emedicine.medscape.com]

    Sinus node is the main pacemaker C. Sinus rhythms include 1. Normal sinus rhythm 2. Sinus tachycardia 3. Sinus bradycardia 4. Sinus arrhythmia 5. Sinus arrest 6. Sinus exit block II. Normal sinus rhythm A. [andrews.edu]

    Slowing of the sinus rate, sinus arrest, atrial standstill and atrioventricular block may result in atrioventricular dissociation by default, in which case a junctional or ventricular escape rhythm may take over. [leadervet.com]

Pathophysiology [ edit ] In the human heart the sinoatrial node is located at the top of the right atrium. [en.wikipedia.org]

Pathophysiology A normal cardiac impulse arises from the sinus node and is conducted through the AV junction, the bundle of His, and the bundle branches to the ventricles. [odlarmed.com]

Pathophysiology The proposed pathogenesis of autoimmune hepatitis involves the combination of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers. The genetic predisposition may relate to several defects in immunologic control of autoreactivity. [emedicine.medscape.com]
