What is more serious atrial or ventricular fibrilation?
Ventricular fibrillation is more serious than atrial fibrillation because it can lead to cardiac arrest and sudden death if not treated immediately. Atrial fibrillation, while still a serious condition, is generally less life-threatening than ventricular fibrillation.
Is there a genetic link for atrial fibrilation?
Some recent research has found a genetic link for atrial fibrillation, but it seems to be quite rare. Atrial fibrillation can be caused by many different risk factors, and only in the case your atrial fibrilation is genetic, there is a risk for your children. Genetic diagnostics for young people are neither common nor affordable by now, but might become an option soon.
How can you tell if your heart is out of rhythm as in atrial fibrilation?
Sometimes an individual can feel their heart is not beating properly - they may feel faint or have an odd sensation in their chest. However, a heart arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation can only be diagnosed through a EKG.
Do you need to give CPR to a person who has atrial fibrilation?
No, you would not give CPR to a person with atrial fib. This condition is treated with drugs such as blood thinners or medications that regulate the heart. If however, the person stops breathing, you would then perform CPR.
How best to cure arterial fibrillation developed recently?
Atrial fibrillation can be treated with medication to control the heart rate and thin the blood to reduce the risk of blood clot, heart attack, or stroke. Invasive procedures to treat atrial fibrillation include an ablation or, in extreme cases, the implantation of a pacemaker.
What are cardiovascular manifestations with graves diseases?
sinus trachy cardia bounding pulse windened pulse pressure Increased intensity of s1 (high cardiac output) Atrial fibrilation
What is heparin therapy?
Heparin therapy is using Heparin (a blood thinner) to bust blood clots and prevent blood clots from forming. It's used, for example, to treat pulmonary thrombosis or atrial fibrilation.
What is the difference between heart rate and ventricular rate?
On an ECG the heart rate will match both ventricular rate and atrial rate if the heart is normal. If people have atrial fibrilation then the ventricular rate will be used on the ECG to work out the rate of the ventricular contraction and vice-versa with ventricular fibrilation. Usually both atrial and ventricular rates match so if the atria contracts at 70 BPM the ventricles will beat at 70 BPM. It is possible for the ECG machine to work out atrial or ventricular rate if needs be. Usually, however, if the ECG machine just displays heart rate then both ventricular and atrial rates match.
What is an atrial couplets?
Atrial couplets refer to two consecutive premature atrial contractions (PACs) that occur in the heart. These are abnormal heartbeats originating in the atria, which can disrupt the normal rhythm of the heart. It is important to monitor and manage atrial couplets as they may sometimes progress to more serious arrhythmias.
Plenty of Treatment Options for Atrial Fibrillation?
There is a wide variety of drugs and procedures available to effectively treat atrial fibrillation. One option involves simple changes to the patient's diet and lifestyle. Many times people who suffer from atrial fibrillation have a magnesium deficiency, which is a mineral that is absent in many diets. Any treatment with natural supplements like magnesium must be conducted in consultation and under the close supervision of a qualified physician. If your atrial fibrillation is caused by another condition like a heart valve disorder, then successful treatment of that disorder may effectively treat your atrial fibrillation.
Which arrhythmia has a very fast uncoordinated quivering?
Fibrilation
What is a possible reason for pulse deficit?
For a heartbeat that is consistently over 100 beats per minute, a patient could be prescribed beta blockers. For a patient that has a low heart rate, there is a possibility of having a pacemaker implanted.
