Background: There are variety of established causes of bradycardia (Heart rate <60 bpm), including cardiac & non cardiac diseases, medications & age related degeneration. In few cases we found bradycardia without obvious causes. The patient's, specially in young individuals (age<40 yrs) who have allergic symptoms with bradycardia but without any obvious cause, hyperimmunoglobulin E can be a possible cause. ThisMethods: prospective, cross sectional study included 64 patients aged under 40 years whole have allergic symptoms & ECG showed bradycardia, and in whom no obvious cause of bradycardia was found. In all these cases we have checked S. Immunoglobulin level E & other necessary investigations. Results: Total 64 patients was enrolled with one year of period, among them 42(65.6%) was male & 22(34.4%) was female. Majority of the pt, n- 40(62.5%) was in age group 11-20 years. Total 58 patients S. Immunoglobulin level was found raised, other 6 patients was found within normal range, which is statistically signicant (p<0.05). Follow up ECG & S. Immunoglobulin E was done after 4-6 weeks of symptomatic treatment & found heart rate become normalized with normalized/decreased level of S. Immunoglobulin E. No patients developed any complications during the study period. Raised S. Immunoglobulin E can be a possible cause of bradycardia in young individuals, especially whole haveConclusion: allergic symptoms with no obvious cause of bradycardia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
