What is the apporiate V Code for Status post cardiac pacemaker placement?
V45.01
What ventricle is the pacemaker?
this is a particular setting on a pacemaker which essentially senses if the ventricle depolarises, if it does not the PM will activate it and ensure the heart carries on beating.Also:A demand pacemaker (there are several types) kicks in after your cardiac function varies outside a pre-set normal rate. It then brings your heartbeat into a more efficient rhythm. (Sinus-rhythm.)A demand pacemaker does not take the place of an implanted defibrillator! If a genuinely life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia develops, it takes a defibrillator -- an implanted one or an external unit used by someone trained to respond -- to correct ventricular fibrillation. If it is not corrected, v-fib is fatal.
Does damage to the AV node decrease heart rate?
There are specialized areas of cardiac muscle tissue (1%) in the heart that are autorhythmic (self-exciting). These cells compose the CCS (Cardiac Conduction System) and are responsible for initiating and distributing cardiac (electrical) impulses throughout the heart muscle (cause the heart to beat).These specialized areas together coordinate the events of the cardiac cycle, which makes the heart an effective pump. The main area called the Sinoatrial Node (S-A Node) is found in the right uppermost atrial wall. It is called the primary pacemaker producing a rhythmically and repeatedly [60-100 per minute] cardiac impulse.Any damage to the S-A node will slow the heart rate. There is a secondary pacemaker called the A-V node. This pacemaker will continue the beat but at a slower rate.
What is the difference between a fixed rate pacemaker and a demand pacemaker?
A fixed-rate pacemaker sends electrical prompts to your heart at an unchanging rate. Its drawbacks include that it is somewhat difficult to adapt to a state of physical exertion or emotional arousal.A more advanced type, called a demand pacemaker (there are several types) kicks in after your cardiac function varies outside a pre-set normal rate. It then brings your heartbeat into a more efficient rhythm. (Sinus-rhythm.)A demand pacemaker does not take the place of an implanted defibrillator! If a lifethreatening cardiac arrhythmia develops, it takes a defibrillator -- an implanted one or an external unit used by someone trained to respond -- to correct ventricular fibrillation. If it is not corrected, v-fib is fatal.Demand pacemakes are used to restore a normal heart rate that only becomes abnormal occasionally. A fixed rate pacemaker is used when the problem is always there and the heart won't keep going without constant help.

The tertiary pacemaker is also known as the?
av node
Does replacement of a low speed fan in a 1995 Ford Contour V-6 require a new computer and if so does it require dealer reprogramming?
Not necessarily on either. A used computer will not require a reprogramming. Also, if the fan itself is damaged, then unit would be replaced not the computer.
What is dd pacemaker?
Pacemakers all get an initial code that describe the device's functional abilities. The code consists of at least three letters, sometimes four or even five. There is no such thing as a DD pacemaker, but there is a DDD and a DDI pacemaker (also a DDDR, and DDIR). Since DDD is the most commonly implanted pacemaker in the U.S., it is likely that DDD was meant. The first letter indicates where the pacemaker paces. It can pace in the upper chamber (atrium, in which the case the letter is A), the lower chamber (ventricle, in which case the letter is V), or both (in which case the letter is D for "dual"). The second letter indicates where the pacemaker senses. Sensing means "listen." Pacemakers are able to monitor the heart and detect or listen to the heart rhythm. Again, the letter codes here are A, V, D. The third letter is a bit trickier in that it indicates what the pacemaker does if the heart beats on time. If the letter is I it means "inhibit." That means if your heart beats on its own, it inhibits the pacemaker or forces it to stay on standby. If the letter is T it means trigger, that is, if the heart beats on its own, the pacemaker will be triggered to pace. This is appropriate when the upper chamber beats and the pacemaker gets ready to cause the lower chamber to beat in appropriate response. The third option is D for dual, meaning the pacemaker will inhibit (for the ventricle) but trigger for the atrium. If the fourth letter is an R, the pacemaker has a special sensor that allows it to increase its rate when you are physically active. These codes are widely used by clinicians and are understood around the world. Pacemakers are coded on the box to the highest performance they can achieve. For instance, a DDD pacemaker can pace or sense both chambers of the heart but a doctor can program it in such a way that it paces and senses only one chamber of the heart. Nevertheless, on the pacemaker labeling, it will state the highest level of function of which the device is capable.
Heart block may be treated by implanting into the heart a device called?
A pacemaker is a device implanted into the chest that has a wire lead that sits in the right ventricle (single chamber pacer), the right atrium and ventricle (A-V pacer), or the right ventricle and the coronary sinus (dual chamber pacer) and provides electrical stimulation to the cardiac muscle.
The correct sequence of parts that function to carry cardiac impulses is?
S-A node, A-V node, A-V bundle, Purkinje fibers
What is V-fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation is a rapid, irregular and uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscles.
What is the code in bombad bounty for the v-wing?
AAS2436 is the code for the v wing
