What is the medical term meaning interruption of the electrical impulses in the heart's conduction system?
Heart block is the term meaning interruption of electrical impulses in the heart's conduction system.
What is an aberrant conduction?
An aberrant conduction is a heart condition where the electrical stimulus travels via an abnormal pathway.
Does the ECG record the electrical stimulation of cardiac muscle by conduction system?
Yes, the ECG records the electrical stimulation of the heart muscle by the conduction system and traces the movement of those impulses.
What is Nonspecific Intraventricular conduction delay?
It is a condition in which there is slowed electrical conduction through a ventricle of the heart; usually secondary to cardiomegaly or cardiac failure
Why is water needed for electrical conduction?
It is not, electrical conduction will happen in coper wihtout any water present.
What does conduction require?
If you mean electrical conduction, that requires electrical charges that are fairly free to move around.
What irregularity on a ECG would be considered the most severe?
Asystole, AKA "flat line" indicating no electrical conduction within the heart which means the heart if no longer beating.
When does the human heart rest?
The electrical impulse reaches all the muscle tissue in the ventricles, and the ventricles contract. This electrical conduction pattern occurs approx. every 0.8 seconds.
In coronary conduction the electrical impulse is released at what level of the coronary electrical system?
With Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, the heart has an extra nerve, or "accessory pathway" that electrically connects the _____ to the _____.
When does athletic heart syndrome occur?
the consequence of a normal adaptation by the heart to increased physical activity. The changes in the electrical conduction system of the heart may be pronounced and diagnostic, but should not cause problems
What is the difference between classic heart block and a u wave?
A heart Block is a non-conduction of an electrical pulse through the Bundle of His and a U wave is the repolarization of the Purkinje Fibers.
The four structures that compose the conduction system of the heart are the?
four structures that compose the conduction of the heart
