What has the author Francis D Murgatroyd written?
Francis D. Murgatroyd has written: 'Atrial fibrillation for the clinician' -- subject(s): Atrial Fibrillation, Physiopathology, Therapy
Should emergency defibrillators be used on patients suffering atrial fibrillation attacks?
If patients with atrial fibrillation experience rapid heart rate (rapid ventricular response) and are hemodynamically unstable (hypotension, altered mental status) then electrical cardioversion is appropriate. Defibrillation is never utilized in atrial fibrillation.
What is it called when the upper chambers of the heart flutters?
Atrial Flutter. You may be thinking of atrial fibrillation, though.
What is a doctor called who specializes in atrial fibrillation?
Electrophysiology Cardiologist.
What is atrial fibrillation and flutter?
abnormal heart rhythms in which the atria, or upper chambers of the heart, are out of sync with the ventricles, or lower chambers of the heart. In atrial fibrillation, the atria "quiver" chaotically and the ventricles beat irregularly
Hi again, Gene. Atri?
Hi again, Gene. Atrial fibrillation is generally associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and much of this is due to its relationship with ischemic stroke and cardiac disease like heart failure. Among men, estimates range from 1.3-3.5 times more likely for strokes, cardiovascular events (e.g. heart attack), heart failure and death. In your case, however, your risks are probably lower and may even approximate those of people without atrial fibrillation; this is because you have lone atrial fibrillation (at least by some criteria-it is more commonly diagnosed among younger people). Lone atrial fibrillation is diagnosed when no underlying cause or related illness, like heart disease or diabetes, can be found. Because your atrial fibrillation is unassociated with any other symptoms or findings of heart disease, and because you are a non-smoker without obesity or hypertension, your prognosis is better than that of atrial fibrillation in general. The Pradaxa you take is to further reduce your risk of having a stroke.

How does multifocal atrial tachycardia progress?
Atrial fibrillation can be caused by the multifocal atrial tachycardia progression. The multifocal atrial tachycardia, mostly, progress and presents itself as other forms of atrial tachycardia, including but not limited to, tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.
What is the term for the condition in which the atria quiver irregularly instead of beating rhythmically?
atrial fibrillation
Fibrillation instead of pumping strongly the heart muscle quivers ineffectively?
Ventricular
Can Horne goat weed be taken when you have atrial fibrillation?
If you have atrial fibrillation, you should not take supplements whose manufacture and contents aren't regulated by the FDA. Talk with your health care provider about options for handling any sexual concerns that you seem to have.
What is fribillation?
Fibrillation, in the heart, is the uncoordinated contraction of individaul muscle fibers, rendering the contraction useless for propelling blood. There are atrial fibrillation, common and treatable, and ventricular fibrillation, less common and the mother of all medical emergencies.
