Reversal of Complete Heart Block With Aminophylline in Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this study we will evaluate the rate of reversal of complete heart block with aminophylline in atropine resistant patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI)

Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
Administration of Aminophylline can result in reversal of complete heart block in a significant number of atropine resistant patients with inferior wall MI. Hence, in this study our primary aim is to evaluate the rate of reversal of complete heart block with aminophylline in atropine resistant patients with inferior wall MI.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Reversal of complete heart block [Within 1 hour of 2nd dose]
Conversion to sinus rhythm with 1:1 conduction
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Improved conduction [Within 1 hour of 2nd dose]
Combined end point of 1:1 conduction and improved conduction to second degree AV block
- Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) [Within 12 hours]
Ventricular arrhythmias ( VT more than 3 beats), decrease in ventricular escape rate requiring increasing pacing rate, cardiac arrest or death
