has had a heart attack or had rheumatic fever as a child. Mitral stenosis is a narrowing or blockage of the mitral valve‚ the narrowed valve causes blood to back-up into the heart’s upper-left chamber instead of flowing into the lower-left chamber. Atrial septal defect‚ also known as ASD‚ is a “hole” in the wall that separates the top two chambers of the heart. Ventricular septal defect (VSD)‚ is the opposite of ASD‚ it is a hole in the wall separating the two lower chambers of the heart. Tetralogy

In addition‚ almost a fourth of the ICD stuns are improper i.e. provoked by an option that is other than ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation‚ which makes a continuous feeling of fear that a few patients find insufferable and request their gadgets to be killed. On somewhat brighter side‚ enhanced programming of these gadgets has as of late demonstrated guarantee of decreasing the quantity

Cardiovascular System: Intrinsic Conduction System 1. The intrinsic conduction system consists of __autorhythmic____ __cardiac__ cells that initiate and distribute __impulses_____ throughout the heart. 2. The intrinsic conduction system coordinates heart activity by determining the direction and speed of ____heart depolarization____. This leads to a coordinated heart contraction. 3.

The pacemaker leads were advanced under fluoroscopic and electrophysiologic guidance into the right ventricular apex and right atrial appendage. The pacemaker leads were seen to function adequately in vivo and were sutured in place with 0 silk. The leads were connected to the pulse generator‚ which was delivered into the wound in the usual fashion; 2-0 Vicryl suture was used to

chambers. The cardiac cycle is controlled by electrical waves that spread throughout the heart. The blood flows into the heart straight into the atria via the vena cava and pulmonary vein. A wave of electrical activity is firstly spread from the Sino-atrial node which spreads across both atria‚ this causes the atria to contract which forces blood down into the ventricles through the atrioventricular valves. The atrioventricular septum prevents the wave crossing the ventricles. The wave passes to the

Ventricular. It shows the strength of the ventricle as it pumps blood‚ and it is a thicker muscle to pump stronger as it contracts 3. At what time during the contraction cycle was it possible to induce an extrasystole? The time during the relaxation part of cardiac cycle. 4. By clicking the Multiple
