An atrial fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia which involves the upper two chambers of the heart.
Can I drop derty for atrial
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.
as simple as: "Fibrilacion Atrial"
premature atrial contractions (PAC)
They're he same thing. Atrial flutter is more of a slang term, and is sometimes found in patients with atrial tachycardia. Basically, atrial fibrillation is a disorder, and atrial flutter is a symptom
normal atrial BP is 120/80
Atrial refers to the top portion of the heart and diastole is when the heart is at rest. Atrial diastole would be when the top portion of the heart is not beating.
occurs in the middle of the atrial septum and accounts for about 70% of all atrial septal defects. Abnormal openings can form in the upper and lower parts of the atrial septum as well.
Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia
An atrial focus refers to an ectopic pacemaker located in the atria that can initiate impulses independently of the sinoatrial (SA) node, leading to atrial contractions. It is not the same as atrial escape, which occurs when the SA node fails to generate impulses, allowing an ectopic atrial focus to take over the pacing of the heart. While both involve ectopic activity in the atria, atrial escape specifically pertains to a backup mechanism due to SA node dysfunction.
No it does not. Atrial repolarization is generally not visible on the telemetry strip because it happens at the same time as ventricular depolarization (QRS complex). The P wave represents atrial DEpolarization (and atrial systole). Atrial repolarization happens during atrial diastole (and ventricular systole).
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, yet its presentation and progression vary widely between patients. From silent AF discovered incidentally to rapid ventricular response causing hemodynamic collapse, each case offers a unique learning opportunity. Are you a cardiologist, electrophysiologist, medical researcher, or healthcare professional with a compelling clinical case to share? Submit your Atrial Fibrillation Case Reports to a trusted academic platform powered by Bristol Publishers and reach a global medical audience. Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias worldwide, contributing significantly to stroke risk, heart failure, and cardiovascular mortality. With evolving treatment strategies such as catheter ablation, anticoagulation therapy, and novel antiarrhythmic drugs, documenting real-world clinical experiences is more important than ever. Publishing detailed Atrial Fibrillation Case Reports helps advance evidence-based practice and supports clinicians in managing complex AF presentations.
