Atrial Fibrillation
Give this one a try later!
- Over firing of electrical impulses from atrium causing heart to quiver
- Blood ineffectively pumped to the ventricles
- Most common chronic arrhythmia
,Types of Supraventricular Tachycardia
Give this one a try later!
1 - Atrial fibrillation
2 - Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)
3 - Atrial flutter
4 - Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
Sinus Rhythm: PR Interval
Give this one a try later!
- Time it takes for impulse to go from atrial systole to before ventricle
systole
- Time between stimulation of atrium and stimulation of ventricles
- .12-.20 seconds
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
Give this one a try later!
- Records electrical signals as they travel through the heart
- Used to look for patterns among heartbeats and rhythms and to diagnose
various heart conditions
- Can detect: arrhythmias, blocked or narrow coronary arteries, structural
problems in heart chambers, previous heart attack
,Risk Factors of Peripheral Arterial Disease
Give this one a try later!
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Older people
- High cholesterol
- Smoking
High-Density Lipoproteins
Give this one a try later!
- "Good" cholesterol
- Carries cholesterol from other parts of the body & brings it to liver to be
removed
Signs & Symptoms of Mitral Valve Prolapse
Give this one a try later!
- Racing or irregular HR (Arrhythmias)
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Dyspnea
- Fatigue
- Chest pain
, Sinus Rhythm: T Wave
Give this one a try later!
- Repolarization of ventricles (relaxation)
Collateral Circulation
Give this one a try later!
- Re-routing of blood circulation around a blocked artery or vein via
nearby minor vessels
- Can be established between veins or arteries
- Arises with congestion and/or ischemia
