Interrogation of his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)‚ which is a single-chamber St.Jude device‚ showed 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

Truth in Ads: Eliquis Truth in Ads: ELIQUIS (apixaban) ELIQUIS (apixaban) is a blood thinner used to reduce the risk of stroke and blood-clots in people who have atrial fibrillation (Afib). Afib is an irregular heartbeat‚ but it can cause blood clots to form. This can result in a stroke according to Eliquis.com (2014). ELIQUIS can play an important role for patients with Afib not caused by a heart valve problem. ELIQUIS can’t regulate irregular heart or treat people who are symptomatic; it can reduce

Outline your priorities of care for Martin on his arrival in the emergency department at your major metropolitan hospital. Kirkness explains that priority should be given to airway management and oxygenation. Generally‚ all patients should be placed on oxygen. The head of the bed should be slightly elevated‚ and a cardiac monitor and intravenous access established. Unless there is hypotension‚ fluids should be administered judiciously to prevent cerebral edema. 2 Primary assessments are focused

The wave reaches the other patch of heart muscle called the Atrioventricular Node (AVN). This pressure pushes open the semi lunar valves (tricuspid valves) at the base of the pulmonary artery and blood leaves the heart.

The pressure of the blood in the ventricles increases as they fill with
