18 The Cardiovascular System they remain benign. Antiarrhythmia medications successfully treat the majority of symptomatic arrhythmias. These medications work by blocking certain aspects of the biochemical functions responsible for myocardial contractions. The cardiologist may prescribe two or more antiarrhythmia medications in combination to treat some kinds of arrhythmias. People who have heart failure, CAD, valvular disease, and other heart disorders may take antiarrhythmia medications along with other medications to treat these conditions. Cardiologists select antiarrhythmia medications based on the characteristics of the arrhythmia, which may be simple or complex, as well as the presence of other cardiovascular conditions, any other medications the person may be taking, and factors such as age and lifestyle. After starting antiarrhythmia therapy, it is important to continue until the cardiologist makes changes in the therapeutic approach. Suddenly stopping an antiarrhythmia medication can have significant consequences including serious arrhythmias. Antiarrhythmia medications can have serious side effects such as worsening the existing arrhythmia or causing new arrhythmias. Some medications work by causing heart block, for example, to interrupt the conduction of aberrant electrical impulses. Finding the right medication or combination of medications sometimes takes a period of trial regimens and dosages. As the condition responsible for the arrhythmia changes over time, sometimes it becomes necessary to change the medication regimen as well. Other interventions may become necessary if medications are ineffective or generate intolerable side effects. Such interventions may include • CARDIOVERSION, in which the cardiologist delivers (under sedation) a mild electrical shock through the chest wall to reorganize and restore to normal the heart’s electrical activity • RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION, a cardiac catheterization procedure in which the cardiologist uses radiofrequency impulses to kill a small and carefully targeted segment of myocardial cells to prevent them from initiating or conveying electrical impulses • implantable PACEMAKER, a small battery-operated device that emits an electrical impulse to trigger the heart’s contractions COMMONLY PRESCRIBED ANTIARRHYTHMIA MEDICATIONS Beta Blockers acebutolol (Sectral) atenolol (Tenormin) betaxolol (Kerlone) carteolol (Cartrol) esmolol (Brevibloc) labetalol (Normodyne) metoprolol (Lopressor) nadolol (Corgard) penbutolol (Levatol) pindolol (Visken) propranolol (Inderal) sotalol (Betapace) timolol (Blocadren) Calcium Channel Blockers amlodipine (Norvasc) bepridil (Vascor) diltiazem (Cardizem) felodipine (Plendil) isradipine (DynaCirc) nicardipine (Cardene) nifedipine (Procardia) nimodipine (Nimotop) nisoldipine (Sular) verapamil (Isoptin) Miscellaneous Actions adenosine digoxin Potassium Channel Blockers amiodarone (Cordarone) dofetilide (Tikosyn) ibutilide (Corvert) Sodium Channel Blockers disopyramide (Norpace) flecainide (Tambocor) lidocaine (Xylocaine) mexiletine (Mexitil) moricizine (Ethmozine) procainamide (Procan) propafenone (Rythmol) quinidine (Cardioquin) tocainide (Tonocard)
arteriovenous malformation (AVM) A congenital deformity in which an entanglement of arteries and veins forms. Rather than connecting into CAP- ILLARY BEDS that form between them, the arteries and veins in an AVM connect directly to one another. Veins lack the structure to accommodate the pressure BLOOD is under as it flows through the arteries and over time may become weakened and rupture. The resulting bleeding can be life-threatening, depending on the size and location of the AVM. Most AVMs are in the BRAIN, although an AVM can occur in other parts of the body. Though AVMs are present at birth, many do not show symptoms until later in life, even adulthood. The symptoms of AVM vary and often are vague, making diagnosis sometimes difficult. Cerebral AVMs (AVMs in the brain) may cause HEADACHE, seizures, and STROKE-like symptoms if they apply pressure to surrounding brain tissue or if they bleed. HEMORRHAGE in the brain can cause permanent damage to the brain, resulting in PARALYSIS, cognitive loss, or death. AVMs elsewhere in the body may cause PAIN or bleeding; hemorrhagic bleeding is life-threatening. COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCAN and magnetic resonance angiography, which combines MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) with dye injected into the blood vessels, are the key diagnostic procedures to detect AVM. Treatment depends on the size and location of the AVM and may include surgery to remove the web of blood vessels, injection of a substance to block the flow of blood through the AVM (embolization), or RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION to close off the blood vessels. Treatment often carries signifarteriovenous malformation (AVM) 19 • IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR (ICD), which functions both to deliver pacing impulses and shocking impulses to convert an arrhythmia that extends beyond certain parameters Most people are able to successfully control or eliminate arrhythmias with appropriate treatment, resulting in no changes to lifestyle or quality of life. Risk Factors and Preventive Measures Most arrhythmias arise as a consequence of other CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (CVD) or are idiopathic (without identifiable cause). Some arrhythmia disorders are congenital or genetic, such as LONG QT SYNDROME (LQTS). People who have one kind of arrhythmia are prone to developing others. Prompt medical evaluation of symptoms that could signal cardiovascular disease or arrhythmias is important, as early detection and treatment may head off consequences such as CARDIAC ARREST or SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH.

Arteriosclerosis is a leading factor in age-related HYPERTENSION (high BLOOD PRESSURE). There are three forms of arteriosclerosis: • ATHEROSCLEROSIS in which arterial plaque deposits infiltrate the inner layer of the arterial wall • Mönckeberg’s arteriosclerosis or medial calcific sclerosis, in which the medial layer of the arterial wall accumulates calcium deposits that cause the ARTERY to become rigid • arteriolosclerosis in which the arterioles (the threadlike arteries that form the arterial portion of the CAPILLARY BEDS) lose their FLEXIBILITY and elasticity The primary causes of arteriosclerosis include cigarette smoking (NICOTINE is highly toxic to the smooth MUSCLE fibers of the arteries), DIABETES, and hypertension. The consequences of arteriosclerosis, particularly atherosclerotic, include increased risk for HEART ATTACK, STROKE, ANEURYSM, and increased hypertension. People often use the terms atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis interchangeably, which is not quite accurate though is correct about 90 percent of the time because atherosclerosis is the most common form of arteriosclerosis.
