Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) Normally‚ the chambers of the heart (atria and ventricles) contract in a coordinated manner. The contractions are caused by an electrical signal that begins in an area of the heart called the Sino atrial node (also called the sinus node). The signal moves through the upper heart chambers and tells the atria to contract. The sinus node is a natural pacemaker that controls the rhythm of the heart. Electrical impulses travel from the natural pacemaker through the

Tachycardia Condition The normality of the heart beats rate is of sixty to one hundred beats a minute at rest. A rate that is faster than 100 beats a minute in adults is called tachycardia. People experience transient heart beats‚ called sinus tachycardia‚ as a normal reaction to some type of excitement‚ anxiety‚ stress‚ or just exercise. There are two other types of tachycardia and those are named supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia. The condition of tachycardia is caused

You do not need to know the ins and outs of each and every one. Tachycardias need to differentiate wide complex (ventricular tachycardia) and narrow complex (supraventricular tachycardia or SVT).

a total of 49 episodes of supraventricular tachycardia. These are either atrial fibrillation‚ or atrial tachycardia. 48 of 49 episodes were between 150 to 190 beats per minute‚ which is within monitor only zone of the ICD. None of these episodes lasted more then one minute. He had one episode of supraventricular tachycardia‚ which was more then 190 beats per minute. This episode was terminated by antitachycardia pacing. He was asymptomatic during these tachycardias. Interrogation of the lead

Introduction Crash carts are very important in the medical field. They provide many advantages and little to no disadvantages when it comes to providing for the medical staff. Not only do they provide the necessary tools needed to take care of several different circulatory and respiratory complications but also have the necessary medications neatly organized for easy access. After concluding my research I found out a lot of interesting facts about not only the items that area inside the cart but

How to record vital signs and other values..... Please note: Each patient’s report that has a generated report from both Alice and Somnostar for filing medical records will also include the values of the patient vitals signs. This is the most accurate report reading for any medical staff to review‚ retrieve patient records for further patient care. When the patient comes in and signs his/her consent forms it is also giving the patient rights to have their medical records to

* GROUP 2: Elrey Joseph Calitis Mae Anjneth Cuaton How Atrial Tachycardia happens? Electrical signals in the heart’s upper chambers fire abnormally‚ which interferes with electrical signals coming from the sinoatrial (SA) node --- the heart’s natural pacemaker. A series of early beats in the atria speeds up the heart rate. The rapid heartbeat does not allow enough time for the heart to fill before it contracts so blood flow to the rest of the body is compromised. Video Presentation

Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) Anyone can feel their heart rate by putting two fingers on their side of their neck‚ or on the back of their wrist. They can see that their average heart beat is around 100 bpm(beats per minute). People who suffer from Paroxysmal (par-ox-ysm-al) Supraventricular ( sup-ra-ven-tric-u-lar) Tachycardia ( tachy-car-dia) have moments that make their heart rate higher than usual‚ their heart rate can even reach 250 bpm when at rest.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a common condition in the emergency department which requires immediate intervention. PSVT may involve healthy individuals of all age groups but is much more common in patients with an underlying disorder including myocardial infarction‚ rheumatic heart disease‚ mitral valve prolapse‚ pericarditis‚ chronic lung disease‚ pneumonia‚ and alcohol or digoxin toxicity (1‚ 2). The prognosis of PSVT is dependent on the comorbid cardiac problems and is generally
