theophylline/infarction

We reported a 9-year-old boy who had complex partial seizure for the first time, 4 years and 7 months after an episode of theophylline--associated convulsive status. An ictal EEG showed abnormal theta wave burst which showed no superficial focus, implying existence of deep focus in the brain. MRI

The aim of this paper is to present a case of the patient who was hospitalized in the Toxicology and Cardiology Department because of suicidal digoxin and theophylline intoxication. Both drugs have complicated mechanism of action and affect cardiovascular system differently, but both predispose to

We investigated the effect of acute myocardial infarction (MI) on the hepatic clearance of theophylline in rats using the coronary artery ligation model. After 48 hr of ligation, there were significant changes in left ventricular performance in the MI rats, compared with controls, as indicated by

OBJECTIVE To show that second- or third-degree atrioventricular block occurring as an early complication of acute inferior myocardial infarction is mediated by adenosine. METHODS Cardiac care unit. METHODS Uncontrolled, observational, hypothesis-driven study. METHODS Patients who developed

In patients with acute ischemic stroke, dramatic but often transient improvements have been noticed after theophylline injections. Whether better results could be obtained by continuous infusion of the drug was evaluated in a double-blind study. Out of 46 patients with a mean age of 75 years, 22 got

Six patients treated with theophylline, including five with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, developed generalized seizures with serum theophylline concentrations ranging from 7 to 21 mg/l. Cerebral computed tomographic scans showed a small sylvian infarction in one patient. In the

We report a case of a 41-year-old man who was noted to have position-dependent Cheyne-Stokes respiration with central sleep apnea (CSA) during sleep. The patient had multiple cardiovascular risk factors and target organ damages, including a history of two myocardial infarctions, transient ischemic

The effect of heart failure on the hepatic elimination of low-clearance drugs has not been clearly defined. We investigated the effect of left ventricular failure on theophylline clearance in rats. Cardiovascular function and theophylline pharmacokinetics were studied in conscious rats 6-8 weeks

BACKGROUND The influence of anesthetic agents on the infarction process in the ischemic myocardium is unclear. This study evaluated the effects of three intravenous and three inhalational anesthetic agents on myocardial infarction within a quantified ischemic risk zone in rabbit hearts subjected to

Sera from 30 patients, selected only on the basis of having serum theophylline concentrations greater than or equal to 18 mg/L, were assayed for total creatine kinase (CK), isoenzyme CK-MB, and cathodally migrating CK (mCK-2). CK-MB was measured by ion-exchange chromatography. mCK-2 was detected by
