Trusion is the act of pushing. Protrusion of the eye is caused by Basedow's disease which is usually bilateral and associated with tachycardia and enlargement of the thyroid gland.
Is Paroxysmal tachycardia the same as unsustained tachycardia?
No, it is not Paroxysmal tachycardia gives you the ability to watch the ``coming and going`` of tachycardia. Unsustained tachycardia has little to no change in rhythm rate.
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 a Supraventricular event?
A supraventricular tachycardia is tachycardia (heart rate > 100) that originates above the AV node, in the atria. There are several different forms of supraventricular tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, multifocal atrial tachycardia, and a nebulous condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Many people also consider junctional tachycardia a supraventricular tachycardia.
Is Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia a disease?
Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia is not a disease
What is a fast heart beat called?
It is called a Irregular heartbeat.
Make a sentence using the word tachycardia?
Tachycardia is the term used to refer to a heartbeat outside the normal range. An example sentence is: Her tachycardia was alarming.
What would be the heart rate considered to be a Tachycardia?
Tachycardia is a heart rate that exceeds the normal range. A heart rate over 100 beats per minute is generally accepted as tachycardia. Tachycardia can be caused by various factors which often are benign. However, tachycardia can be dangerous depending on the speed and type of rhythm.
What is tachycardia and cardiomegaly?
Cardiomegaly is the abnormal enlargement of the heart that is frequently associated with heart failure when the heart enlarges in an effort to compensate for the loss of its pumping ability (cardio means heart, and -mealy means abnormal enlargement). Tachycardia is an abnormally rapid resting heart rate (tachy- means rapid, card means heart, and -ia means abnormal condition). This term is usually applied to rates greater than 100 beats per minute. Tachycardia is the opposite of bradycardia. Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, also known as PAT, is an episode that begins and ends abruptly during which there are very rapid and regular heartbeats that originate in the atrium. PAT is caused by an abnormality in the body's electrical system. Paroxysmal means pertaining to sudden occurrence. Ventricular tachycardia, also known as V tach, a very rapid heart beat that begins within the ventricles. This condition is potentially fatal because the heart is beating so rapidly that is is unable to adequately pump blood through the body. For some patients, this conditon can be controlled with an implantable cardioverter defibrillater.
What is a term used to describe a sudden arrhythmia such as an atrial tachycardia?
Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia
Is tachycardia a symptom of myopathy?
Tachycardia is a heart rate that is faster than normal. Myopathy is a broad term for muscle weakness or muscular diseases. While tachycardia is not a symptom of myopathy, tachycardiomyopathy is a condition where muscles of the heart are weakened because of tachycardia.
What is preventricular tachycardia?
Preventricular tachycardia is elevated heart rate the originates above the AV node.
