What is cardiac thump?
By "cardiac thump," I am asuming you are referring to what is known as precordial thump. A precordial thump is a medical intervention used when a person has a witnessed cardiac arrest and no defibrillator is readily available. The thump is actually a blow to the mid-sternum with the physician's hand. A closed fist is held about 12 inches from the sternum; it is then used to suddenly strike the chest with the medial portion of the hand. This actually generates some electrical activity, around 5 joules, and has been shown, in some cases, to convert a lethal heart rhythm back into a normal rhythm.
What is fibular heart disease?
There is atrial fibrillation, an abnromal cardiac rhythm in which the atria do not contract properly. However, there is no such entity as fibular heart disease.
How many chamber pump does it have?
In normal sinus rhythm the heart rate is below
What device assists the heart to maintain a normal rthythm?
A device that assists the heart to maintain a normal rhythm is called a pacemaker.
What is the normal heart rate of a Kangaroo?
Heart rate of lions ranged from 42 to 76 beats per minute (bpm). Heart rate of tigers ranged from 56 to 97 bpm. In both species, the most common rhythm detected was normal sinus rhythm followed by sinus arrhythmia; wandering pacemaker was also observed with normal sinus rhythm or sinus arrhythmia.
What is designed for the use of non professionals externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
defibrillator
What is designed for use by nonprofessionals and externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
It is called an AED; automated external defibrillator.

For what reasons is an emergency thoracotomy performed?
to control injury-related bleeding from the heart, cardiac compressions to restore a normal heart rhythm, or to relieve pressure on the heart caused by cardiac tamponade
Diagnosed with a complete third-degree AV heart block to restore normal rhythm the cardiothoracic surgeon schedules for insertion of what?
Pacemaker The heart's natural pacemaker is the sinoatrial (SA) node. The SA node sends an electrical impulse through both atria, pausing at the atrioventricular (AV) node, which is a small mass of cardiac muscle. To restore normal rhythm in the case of a block, an artificial cardiac pacemaker can be implanted in the chest.
What converts cardiac arrhythmia into normal sinus rhythm?
defibrillators
Normal cardiac rhythm is determined by what?
The sinoatrial node is the pacemaker of the heart and determines the normal rhythm.Sinoatrial Node
How does digitalis slow the heart rate?
its helps to restore the normal rate and rhythm
What drug acts to restore normal heart rhythm in a heart that has been skipping beats?
antiarrhythmics
These drugs act to restore normal heart rhythm in a heart that has been skipping beats?
Answer is C. antiarrhythmics
What is the medical term for cardiac arrhythmia?
Cardiac arrhythmia refers to abnormal heart rhythm, as measured with an ECG. A "normal" rhythms is called a "Sinus Rhythm", as it originates in the Sinoatrial node of the heart. Any rhythm that originates elsewhere, or deviates from what is considered "normal" is an arrhythmia. There are many types of arrhythmia. On a cardiac monitor, if we see beats that are abnormal, we call the ectopy, or ectopic beats. But as far as a "term for arrhythmia"... that's the term: Arrhythmia.
