* 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

As a result‚ the baby’s lungs are unable to supply the rest of her body with the oxygen it requires to function properly. In most cases‚ it is not known what causes

According to the Centers for Disease Control‚ mothers who smoke early in their pregnancy are more likely to deliver babies that have several different heart defects‚ including septal defects – essentially a hole in the wall between the heart’s left and right chambers.
