- Pediatric patients with surgical ventricular scars, such as those with postoperative ventricular tachycardia (VT) after repair of tetralogy of Fallot, are commonly cited examples of this mechanism. (medscape.com)
- Our objectives were to describe the clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with hypercalcemia, estimate its prevalence in the hospital setting, analyze the rate of correction of hypercalcemia, and identify prognostic variables. (bvsalud.org)
Conclusions1
- Conclusions - The atrial ERP shortening induced by tachycardia was a rate-dependent response. (tmu.edu.tw)
Myocardial1
- Beta-blockers slow an individual's heart rate, decrease myocardial contractility, and lower blood pressure, thus lessening the heart's overall workload and decreasing its demand for oxygen. (cms.gov)
Regular or irregular1
- Tachycardias can be further classified as either regular or irregular. (wikipedia.org)
