Atorvastatin-Diltiazem Combination Induced Rhabdomyolysis Leading to Diagnosis of Hypothyroidism.

Case reports in medicine

Ehelepola NDB, Sathkumara SMBY, Bandara HMPAGS, Kalupahana KLR.
PMID: 28487744
Case Rep Med. 2017;2017:8383251. doi: 10.1155/2017/8383251. Epub 2017 Apr 11.

Statins and hypothyroidism, independently, can rarely cause rhabdomyolysis. The combination of them especially with concurrent intake of drugs such as diltiazem increases the risk of rhabdomyolysis. Hashimoto's encephalopathy is a rare condition associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and some patients...

The Novel Development of an Experimental Model of Dihydropyridine Calcium Channel Blocker Poisoning using Intravenous Amlodipine.

International journal of cardiovascular research

Jang D, Donovan S, Bania T, Nelson L, Hoffman R, Chu J.
PMID: 24416727
Int J Cardiovasc Res. 2013 Mar 29;2(2):1000121.

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular drug poisoning remains a leading cause of fatality. Within this class, calcium channel blockers (CCBs) account for the majority of deaths. CCBs are typically categorized as dihydropyridines (i.e. amlodipine or nifedipine) versus the non-dihydropyridine (i.e. verapamil and...

Clinical Experience with Diltiazem in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases.

Cardiology and therapy

Rodríguez Padial L, Barón-Esquivias G, Hernández Madrid A, Marzal Martín D, Pallarés-Carratalá V, de la Sierra A.

UNLABELLED: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Coronary artery diseases, atrial fibrillation or hypertensive heart disease, are among the most important cardiovascular disorders. Hypertension represents a significant risk factor for cardiovascular mortality; thus, control...

BACKGROUND: TRUS-guided needle biopsy of the prostate gland is the current standard method used for diagnosis of prostate cancer. Pain control during this procedure is through the use of i.v. sedation or local anaesthetic (LA), depending on clinician preference.OBJECTIVES:...

Narrow Complex Ventricular Tachycardia.

Cureus

Sundhu M, Yildiz M, Gul S, Syed M, Azher I, Mosteller R.
PMID: 28875096
Cureus. 2017 Jul 04;9(7):e1423. doi: 10.7759/cureus.1423.

Myocardial infarctions are frequently complicated by tachyarrhythmias, which commonly have wide QRS complexes (QRS duration > 120 milliseconds). Many published criteria exist to help differentiate between ventricular and supraventricular mechanisms. We present a case of a 61-year-old male with...

Risk Alteration for Atrial Fibrillation with DifferentAntihypertensive Drugs.

Journal of atrial fibrillation

Barrios V, Escobar C.
PMID: 28496708
J Atr Fibrillation. 2011 Dec 20;4(4):423. doi: 10.4022/jafib.423. eCollection 2011 Dec.

A large percentage of patients with hypertension suffer from atrial fibrillation (AF). The concomitance of both conditions in the same patient markedly increases cardiovascular risk. Therefore, prevention of new-onset AF in hypertensive population should be a relevant target. High...

Tetracyclines, verapamil and nifedipine induce callose deposition at specific cell sites in Riella helicophylla.

Planta

Grotha R.
PMID: 24232763
Planta. 1986 Dec;169(4):546-54. doi: 10.1007/BF00392105.

The Ca(2+) indicator 7-chlorotetracycline has been shown to bind to a pore complex on both outer surfaces of all non-meristematic cells in the unistratose thallus of Riella ('chlorotetracycline-binding surface region'=CSR; Grotha, 1983, Planta 158, 473-481). Prolonged treatment of the...

PURPOSE: To estimate the risk of recurrent fissure in ano after sphincter preserving treatments.METHODS: A retrospective case note review, combined with a telephone survey was conducted for all patients treated for a chronic anal fissure between 1998 and 2008.RESULTS:...

Primary prevention of coronary heart disease in hypertension.

Journal of hypertension. Supplement : official journal of the International Society of Hypertension

Sleight P.
PMID: 8934376

MORTALITY FROM MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: Primary prevention of coronary heart disease in hypertension is important because the mortality among those who have suffered a myocardial infarction is around 50% within 1 month of the infarction. Although the mortality of those...

The role of topical diltiazem in the treatment of chronic anal fissures that have failed glyceryl trinitrate therapy.

Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland

OBJECTIVE: The treatment of anal fissures has evolved over the last 5 years with the development of topical treatments aimed at reducing sphincter hypertonia. This is thought to improve anal mucosal blood flow and promote healing of the fissure....

Calcium channel inhibitors attenuate consumption of ethanol, sucrose and saccharin solutions in rats.

Behavioural pharmacology

Ca(2+) channel inhibitors suppress ethanol intake in various strains of alcohol-preferring rats. To test whether that inhibitory effect involves interference with the caloric consequences of preferred fluids, we compared the effects of two dihydropyridines, nicardipine and isradipine, and diltiazem,...
