Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:The following review of the literature on the importance of Selenium (Se) in myocardial homeostasis and of the pharmacology of this trace metal, represents an attempt to search, without prejudice to other possible explanations, for a rationale of a beneficial effect of Se substitution as an adjuvant to antiarrhythmic therapy. BACKGROUND:For several years, in the early 1980s, I had to deal with the problem of a serious ventricular arrhythmia (non-sustained and sustained ventricular tachycardia) which was remarkably resistant to a battery of the most potent antiarrhythmic agents. Eventually, dramatic improvement, lasting for a period of 8 years, was achieved with Flecainide, which, however, left unsolved the episodic occurrence of disabling ventricular bigemini. Over the most recent period of 1 year and 8 months, there was a sudden and unexplained return to unbroken normal sinus rhythm. Among the multiplicity of possible reasons for this fortunate development, the concurrent introduction of Se substitution appeared as the most obvious, though very tentative explanation. Substitution of this trace metal preceded the extinction of ventricular bigemini by 1 week and actually represented the sole modification of otherwise reasonably standardized conditions of antiarrhythmic therapy, life style and diet.
