No, alpha blockers would not alleviate ventricular tachycardia. However, it can be used in combination with other treatments to help in the alleviation of such.

For which cardiac rhythm and other problems is CPR required?
The two most common heart rhythms that require CPR is ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular tachycardia is an extremely rapid cardiac rhythm and ventricular fibrillation is an abnormal cardiac rhythm. For an adult, if the person is unconscious and not breathing, CPR is required. There are numerous reasons an adult would be unconscious and not breathing; all require CPR.
What are the different heart rhythms a paramedic would analyze?
Sinus Bradycardia Sinus Tachycardia Sinus Dysrhythmia Sinus Arrest Wondering Pacemaker Premature Atrial Complex Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia Atrial Flutter Atrial Fibrillation Premature Junctional Complex Junctional Escape Complexes or Rhythms Accelerated Junctional Rhythm Ventricular Escape Complexes or Rhythms Premature Ventricular Complex Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) Asystole Artificial Pacemaker Rhythms First Degree AV Block Second Degree AV Block Type 1 (Wenckebach) Second Degree AV Block Type 2 Third Degree AV Block Disturbances of Ventricular Conduction Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) Preexcitation Syndrome: Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Broad complex tachycardia Narrow complex tachycardia
What is the contraction of the ventricles?
This would be ventricular tachycardia (tachy - fast, cardia - heart). This is a life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate care.
Can a defibulator improve fatigue?
No, Defibrillation is the definitive treatment for the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Defibrillation consists of delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the affected heart with a device called a defibrillator. If you use a defibrillator on a person who does not need it you would be placing them in great danger.
Rapid and dangerously uncoordinated ventricular contractions are called?
Rapid and dangerously uncoordinated ventricular contractions is called ventricular fibrillation, or v-fib. During v-fib, the ventricle is not pumping blood to the body, and thus v-fib is known as a lethal dysrhythmia.
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.
Which would produce the most life-threatening condition atrial flutter ventricular flutter atrial fibrillation or ventricular fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation, since this pumps blood to the rest of the body.
What if your pulse is 110 after taking Ritalin and it is not prescribed?
That would be tachycardia.
Why would a boy 6yrs have a heart rate of 160?
This would depend on several things. Is his heart rate consistently elevated or occasionally? If he has other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, color changes or syncope it may be a sign of an underlying health condition. The medical term for a fast heart rate is Tachycardia, which in children may or may not be normal. Medical conditions such as Wolff Parkinson White syndrome, ventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and other medical problems can sometimes cause Tachycardia. It is impossible to know the underlying cause without having him evaluated by a physician, it is important that he sees a doctor to rule out any serious medical abnormalities.
If Ihad a stent implant 4 days ago recuperating at home now your anxiety level is increasing and elevating your BP is this normal?
Maybe. It depends on each person. It is also possible that the symptoms of "anxiety" are caused by ventricular tachycardia, however, that would probably reduce, not increase, your BP. CALL YOUR DOCTOR!
What does it feel like to be floating?
There are several things these symptoms could represent, including atrial fibrillation or episodes of ventricular tachycardia. These could be symptoms of cardiac ischemia or an effect of a medication you are taking. I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation.
Is supraventricular tachycardia another name for premature atrial tachycardia or are they different?
Not really, because they are practically the same exact thing. So I would say they aren't different at all.
