heart causing the heart to beat too rapidly (tachycardia) or too slowly (bradycardia). Types of arrhythmias include‚ supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)‚ heart block‚ atrial premature contraction (APC)‚ atrial flutter‚ atrial fibrillation (AF)‚ ventricle premature contraction‚ ventricle tachycardia (VT)‚ and ventricle fibrillation. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is when the heart no longer pumps efficiently due to a prolonged underlying condition such as CAD‚ previous myocardial infarction‚ congenital

student the realization hits that after all it is not as hard as it seems. Everything one doesn’t understand is taught in one class called EKG. One of the most important things to learn is the arrhythmias which are greatly different. The sinus‚ atrial‚ junctional‚ heart‚ and ventricular rhythms are all important part to learn and understand to fully complete such course. The first categories of arrhythmias which originate in the sinus node are called Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR)‚ Sinus Bradycardia

TIAs are powerful forerunners of stroke. Approximately 10% of patients diagnosed as having a TIA have a stroke in the 90 days following the TIA diagnosis‚ with half of them having a stroke within 2 days of the TIA. TIAs are short-lived episodes of acute‚ focal‚ nonconvulsive neurologic dysfunction presumably caused by reversible ischemia to an area of the retina or brain. Onset of symptoms is sudden and often unprovoked‚ reaching maximum intensity almost immediately. Completed Stroke A completed

occur with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm in which the top part of the heart has disorganized electrical activation. This sends multiple‚ fast‚ irregular impulses to the left ventricle causing the heart to beat rapidly and irregularly. Symptoms such as palpations‚ shortness of breath‚ or decreased exercise capacity may occur. The most dangerous rhythms from the left ventricle are called ventricular tachycardia fibrillation‚ which can cause death. In my opinion
