Abstract:
The clinical presentation,chest image and electrocardiogram of 4 cases of premature complex-induced chronic cough admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from March 2008 to February 2009,were retrospectively analyzed.And other 6 cases of premature complex-induced chronic cough were retrieved for literature review.In total 10 patients,there were 3 males and 7 females aged 58(36-74) years,with a disease duration of 10.5 (3.0,264.0) months.The main clinical presentations were chronic dry cough with post-sternal thump and premature beats as shown by auscultation and 24 h-electrocardiogram examination.Cough was relieved after the premature beats were controlled with the treatment of arrhythmia drugs or radiofrequency ablation.Premature complex-induced cough is rare but it should be considered when the chief complaint of patients with premature beat is chronic cough.
