What else can I help you with?
What are the major types of arrhythmia?
Atrial Fibrillation, Ventricular tachycardia, Ventricular fibrillation, Supraventricular tachycardia
What effect does atropine have on heart rate?
Ventricular fibrillation, and supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia.
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 are the key differences between atrial fibrillation and sinus tachycardia?
Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that originates in the upper chambers of the heart, while sinus tachycardia is a regular but fast heart rate that starts in the sinus node. Atrial fibrillation can lead to blood clots and other complications, while sinus tachycardia is usually a normal response to stress or exercise.
What cardiac arrhythmia is fatal unless reversed?
Cardiac arrhythmia is usually fatal unless reversed by electric defibrillation. Cardiac arrhythmia is also sometimes referred to as ventricular fibrillation.
What disorders is cardioversion used to treat?
Most often, cardioversion is used to treat atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Life-saving cardioversion can be used to treat ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
Which heart rhythm often converts to ventricular fibrillation?
Ventricular Tachycardia
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.
What heart conditions is propafenone used for?
heart arrhythmias usually of the more dangerous kind. Like ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
What conditions require immediate cardioversion?
Ventricular tachycardia lasting more than 30 seconds and ventricular fibrillation require immediate cardioversion.
What rhythms do AED shock?
The two rhythms an AED will only shock are Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib) and Ventricular Tachycardia (V-Tach).
What are the different arrhythmias that can be detected through an ECG?
Some arrhythmias that can be detected through an ECG include atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and bradycardia.
