[Disorders of heart rhythm during urography studied with Holter monitoring. Comparison of ionic and non-ionic contrast media].
Given the disagreements in the literature over the extent of cardiac complications during urography it was decided to assess any arrhythmias following the injection of ionic and non-ionic contrast media and a placebo by means of 24 hours dynamic Holter monitoring. The results were subjected to meticulous statistical analysis and showed no connection between electrocardiographic alterations and the substance injected. The absence of statistical significance and the variability of the results suggest that alterations in the physiological parameters and/or arrhythmias arising during the administration of contrast media should be assessed with extreme caution.
