Atrial Premature Complexes
A type of cardiac arrhythmia with premature atrial contractions or beats caused by signals originating from ectopic atrial sites. The ectopic signals may or may not conduct to the HEART VENTRICLES. Atrial premature complexes are characterized by premature P waves on ECG which are different in configuration from the P waves generated by the normal pacemaker complex in the SINOATRIAL NODE.
Ventricular Premature Complexes
A type of cardiac arrhythmia with premature contractions of the HEART VENTRICLES. It is characterized by the premature QRS complex on ECG that is of abnormal shape and great duration (generally >129 msec). It is the most common form of all cardiac arrhythmias. Premature ventricular complexes have no clinical significance except in concurrence with heart diseases.

It is useful in the diagnosis and management of intermittent cardiac arrhythmias and transient myocardial ischemia.
Arrhythmias, Cardiac
Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.
Hypokalemia
Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders.

Long QT Syndrome
A condition that is characterized by episodes of fainting (SYNCOPE) and varying degree of ventricular arrhythmia as indicated by the prolonged QT interval. The inherited forms are caused by mutation of genes encoding cardiac ion channel proteins. The two major forms are ROMANO-WARD SYNDROME and JERVELL-LANGE NIELSEN SYNDROME.
Electrocardiography
Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY.
Catheter Ablation
Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz).

Exercise-induced uncommon atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia with sick sinus syndrome: a case report. (1/58)

Exercise seldom provokes tachycardia in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). This report presents a case of exercise-induced uncommon atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with sick sinus syndrome. Treadmill exercise testing provoked AVNRT of long RP' with good reproducibility. Uncommon AVNRT was confirmed by the lack of atrial pre-excitation during PSVT and para-Hisian pacing. The patient has been successfully treated with verapamil and DDD pacing for 5 years.  (+info)

Initiation of atrial fibrillation by ectopic beats originating from the pulmonary veins: electrophysiological characteristics, pharmacological responses, and effects of radiofrequency ablation. (2/58)

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be initiated by ectopic beats originating from the atrial or great venous tissues. This study investigated the anatomic characteristics and electrophysiological properties of pulmonary veins (PVs), as well as the possible mechanisms and response to drugs of ectopic foci, and assessed the effects of radiofrequency (RF) ablation on AF initiated by ectopic beats originating from PVs. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seventy-nine patients with frequent episodes of paroxysmal AF and 10 control patients were included. Distal PVs showed the shortest effective refractory periods (ERPs), and right superior PVs showed a higher incidence of intra-PV conduction block than left superior PVs. Superior and left PVs had longer myocardial sleeves than inferior and right PVs, respectively. These electrophysiological characteristics were similar between AF and control patients. Propranolol, verapamil, and procainamide suppressed ectopic beats that originated from the PVs. Of 116 ectopic foci that initiated AF, 103 (88.8%) originated from PVs. A mean of 7+/-3 RF applications completely eliminated 110 ectopic foci (94.8%). During the 6+/-2-month follow-up period, 68 patients (86. 1%) were free of AF without any antiarrhythmic drugs. Follow-up transesophageal echocardiogram showed 42.4% of ablated PVs had focal stenosis. One patient had mild exertional dyspnea after ablation, but it resolved 3 months later; 1 patient had onset of mild exertional dyspnea 5 months after ablation. CONCLUSIONS: Electrophysiological characteristics of PVs are different from those in the atria. Ectopic beats from PVs can initiate AF, and beta-adrenergic receptor blocker, calcium channel blockers, and sodium channel blockers can suppress these ectopic beats. Careful mapping and elimination of these ectopic foci can cure paroxysmal AF.  (+info)

Altered complexity and correlation properties of R-R interval dynamics before the spontaneous onset of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. (3/58)

BACKGROUND: Trigger mechanisms for the onset of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients without structural heart disease are not well established. New analysis methods of heart rate (HR) variability based on nonlinear system theory may reveal features and abnormalities in R-R interval behavior that are not detectable by traditional analysis methods. The purpose of this study was to reveal possible alterations in the dynamics of R-R intervals before the spontaneous onset of paroxysmal AF. METHODS AND RESULTS: Traditional time and frequency domain HR variability indices, along with the short-term scaling exponent alpha(1) and approximate entropy (ApEn), were analyzed in 20-minute intervals before 92 episodes of spontaneous, paroxysmal AF in 22 patients without structural heart disease. Traditional HR variability measures showed no significant changes before the onset of AF. A progressive decrease occurred both in ApEn (1.09+/-0.26 120 to 100 minutes before AF; 0.88+/-0.24 20 to 0 minutes before AF; P<0.001) and in alpha(1) (1.01+/-0.28 120 to 100 minutes before AF, 0.89+/-0.28 20 to 0 minutes before AF; P<0.05) before the AF episodes. Both ApEn (0. 89+/-0.27 versus 1.02+/-0.30; P<0.05) and alpha(1) (0.91+/-0.28 versus 1.27+/-0.21; P<0.001) were also lower before the onset of AF compared with values obtained from matched healthy control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: A decrease in the complexity of R-R intervals and altered fractal properties in short-term R-R interval dynamics precede the spontaneous onset of AF in patients with no structural heart disease. Further studies are needed to determine the physiological correlates of these new, nonlinear HR variability measures.  (+info)

Cardiac arrhythmias and stroke: increased risk in men with high frequency of atrial ectopic beats. (4/58)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: With the exception of atrial fibrillation (AF), little scientific attention has been given the associations between cardiac arrhythmias and incidence of stroke. We sought to study whether atrial and ventricular arrhythmias assessed during a 24-hour ambulatory ECG registration are associated with incidence of stroke. METHODS: The population-based cohort "Men Born in 1914" was examined with 24-hour ambulatory ECG registrations at 68 years of age. Four hundred two men without previous myocardial infarction or stroke were included, and 236 of them had hypertension (>/=160/95 mm Hg or treatment). Fourteen-year rates of stroke (fatal and nonfatal) and all-cause mortality were updated from national and regional registers. Frequent or complex ventricular arrhythmias was defined as Lown class 2 to 5. A high frequency of atrial ectopic beats (AEB) was defined as the fifth quintile (ie, >/=218 AEB per 24 hours). RESULTS: Fifty-eight men suffered a first stroke during the follow-up. Stroke rates (per 1000 person-years) among men with AF (n=14), with frequent AEB (n=77), and without AF or frequent AEB (n=311) were 34.5, 19.5, and 11.6, respectively. The corresponding values among men with hypertension were 40.7, 32.3, and 14.7, respectively. Frequent AEB (compared with absence of AF and frequent AEB) was significantly associated with stroke among all men (relative risk=1.9; 95% CI, 1.02 to 3.4; P:=0.04) and among hypertensive men (relative risk=2.5; 95% CI, 1.3 to 4.8; P:=0.009) after adjustments for potential confounders. The increased stroke rates among men with Lown class 2 to 5 did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS: A high frequency of AEB is associated with an increased incidence of stroke.  (+info)

Evaluation of post-repolarization refractoriness for conduction block in cardiac muscle: studies in an artificial isthmus in the canine right atrium. (5/58)

Post-repolarization refractoriness (PRR) is an important factor in determining conduction block and is the difference between the effective refractory period (ERP) and the duration of the monophasic action potential (MAPD). In the present study, conduction block in an artificial isthmus in the canine atrium was evaluated and the coupling interval of a premature beat, which caused the block, was defined as the block coupling interval (BCI). The usefulness of this value was also evaluated. Radiofrequency linear ablation was performed on the right atrial surface parallel to the atrioventricular groove in 5 mongrel dogs, and an artificial isthmus (8-10mm wide and 25-30mm long) was created. Fourteen simultaneous unipolar recordings were performed in the isthmus with a resolution of 1.2 mm. Single extra-stimuli with basic drive train were delivered to induce conduction block in the isthmus and when it occurred, the coupling interval at the recording site just proximal to the site of the block was defined as the BCI. At the site of the block, the ERP and MAPD at each drive cycle length were measured. The PRR was calculated using 2 different formulae: (1) [ERP-MAPD], and (2) [BCI-MAPD]. It was found that each value was shortened in accordance with the shortening of the basic drive cycle length. In all basic drive trains, BCI>ERP>MAPD, and [ERP-MAPD] was always shorter than [BCI-MAPD]. In the shorter cycle length of basic drives, the difference between [ERP-MAPD] and [BCI-MAPD] was more prominent. In the artificial isthmus model in the canine atrium, BCI was always longer than the ERP measured at the same site as the block. Because the ERP may not directly reflect the block phenomenon, the electrophysiologic evaluation should use the BCI instead, as in the PRR evaluation.  (+info)

The class III antiarrhythmic drugs dofetilide and sotalol prevent AF induction by atrial premature complexes at doses that fail to terminate AF. (6/58)

BACKGROUND: Clinical trials suggest that sotalol and dofetilide are much more effective in preventing atrial fibrillation (AF) than in terminating it. This study evaluated potential mechanisms of discordant sotalol and dofetilide effects on AF termination vs. prevention. METHODS: We applied 240-electrode epicardial mapping and programmed stimulation in a vagotonic dog model of AF before and after dofetilide or sotalol. RESULTS: Under control conditions, sustained AF could be induced by single S(2) extrastimuli that caused unidirectional block and macroreentry. Sotalol (2 mg/kg) and dofetilide (0.04 mg/kg) failed to terminate AF in any dog, but prevented AF induction by S(2) stimuli in 19/22 (86%) and 4/5 (80%) of animals, respectively. With sotalol and dofetilide, unidirectional block still occurred, but wavefront reentry failed. The prevention of S(2)-induced reentry was related to large increases in the effective refractory period (ERP) at a BCL of 1000 ms, leading to ERPs that exceeded the conduction delay following S(2). Reverse use-dependent effects resulted in smaller ERP increases at BCLs closer to the AF cycle length. Although the number of zones of reactivation per cycle during sustained AF were decreased by sotalol and dofetilide, the changes were small and insufficient to terminate AF. CONCLUSIONS: Sotalol and dofetilide prevent AF initiation by premature depolarizations at doses that fail to terminate vagotonic AF, by increasing ERP at the basic cycle length beyond the associated conduction delay that leads to reentry.  (+info)

Giant negative T waves during interferon therapy in a patient with chronic hepatitis C. (7/58)

Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) has been widely used for treatment of chronic hepatitis C in Japan. In general, cardiovascular adverse reactions are rare in association with IFN-alpha therapy. Here, a 64-year-old man with chronic active hepatitis C complained of fatigue, palpitation and depression, and developed atrial fibrillation with prominent negative T waves during IFN-alpha therapy. Echocardiogram showed septal and apical hypertrophy. Three days after discontinuation of IFN-alpha, subjective symptoms and atrial fibrillation subsided. It is unclear whether or not IFN-alpha induced the giant negative T waves with apical hypertrophy. We might observe the developing course of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related myocardial hypertrophy by chance. Cardiovascular toxicity should be carefully monitored during IFN-alpha therapy even in patients with minor cardiac disease, such as premature ventricular contracture (PVC) and mild hypertension.  (+info)

Chronic atrial fibrillation in patients with rheumatic heart disease: mapping and radiofrequency ablation of flutter circuits seen at initiation after cardioversion. (8/58)

BACKGROUND: There is little information concerning mapping and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of arrhythmias seen during reinduction of atrial fibrillation (AF) after pharmacological and/or electrical cardioversion in patients with chronic AF and rheumatic heart disease. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seventeen patients with rheumatic heart disease and symptomatic chronic AF underwent multisite atrial mapping during reinduction of AF after cardioversion. An organized atrial arrhythmia of varying duration was seen to precede the AF in all patients. The earliest atrial activity during this organized rhythm was near the coronary sinus ostium (CS OS) in 14 patients and along the left side of the interatrial septum (IAS) in 3 patients. RFA was performed in 16 patients (14 near the CS OS and 2 along the IAS). Postablation AF was inducible in 1 patient in whom RFA was preformed near the CS OS and in both patients when it was performed along the IAS. At a follow-up of 6 to 56 weeks (mean, 32 weeks), 10 of the 13 patients who had successful ablation were in sinus rhythm. All patients in whom AF was reinducible immediately after RFA continue to be in AF. CONCLUSIONS: Induced AF in patients with rheumatic heart disease begins as a rapid organized arrhythmia with earliest atrial activity near the CS OS in most patients. RFA targeting the region of the CS OS is successful in suppressing the arrhythmia immediately in most of the patients and in most on follow-up.  (+info)

Premature atrial contraction - WikipediaPremature atrial contraction - Wikipedia
Premature atrial contractions (PACs), also known as atrial premature complexes (APC) or atrial premature beats (APB), are a common cardiac dysrhythmia characterized by premature heartbeats originating in the atria. While the sinoatrial node typically regulates the heartbeat during normal sinus rhythm, PACs occur when another region of the atria depolarizes before the sinoatrial node and thus triggers a premature heartbeat.[1] The exact cause of PACs is unclear; while several predisposing conditions exist, PACs commonly occur in healthy young and elderly people. Elderly people that get PACs usually dont need any further attention besides follow ups due to unclear evidence.[2][3] PACs are often completely asymptomatic and may be noted only with Holter monitoring, but occasionally they can be perceived as a skipped beat or a jolt in the chest. In most cases, no treatment other than reassurance is needed for PACs, although medications such as beta blockers can reduce the frequency of symptomatic ...

Subjects from the cohort of the Copenhagen Holter Study (n = 671), with no history of manifest cardiovascular (CV) disease or stroke, were studied. All had laboratory tests and 48-h ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) recording. The median follow-up was 6.3 years. p-Potassium was inversely associated with frequency of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) especially in combination with diuretic treatment (r = -0.22, P = 0.015). Hypokalaemia was not associated with supraventricular arrhythmias. Subjects at lowest quintile of p-potassium (mean 3.42, range 2.7-3.6 mmol/L) were defined as hypokalaemic. Cardiovascular mortality was higher in the hypokalaemic group (hazard ratio and 95% confidence intervals: 2.62 (1.11-6.18) after relevant adjustments). Hypokalaemia in combination with excessive PVC worsened the prognosis synergistically; event rates: 83 per 1000 patient-year in subjects with both abnormalities, 10 and 15 per 1000 patient-year in those with one abnormality, and 3 per 1000 ...

Bigeminy - WikipediaBigeminy - Wikipedia
After any PVC there is a pause that can lead to the development of bigeminy. A PVC wavefront often encounters a refractory AV node that does not conduct the wavefront retrograde. Thus the atrium is not depolarized and the sinus node is not reset. Since the sinus p wave to PVC interval is less than the normal P-P interval, the interval between the PVC and the next p wave is prolonged to equal the normal time elapsed during two P-P intervals. This is called a compensatory pause. The pause after the PVC leads to a longer recovery time, which is associated with a higher likelihood of myocardium being in different stages of repolarization. This then allows for re-entrant circuits and sets up the ventricle for another PVC after the next sinus beat.[2] The constant interval between the sinus beat and PVC suggests a reentrant etiology rather than spontaneous automaticity of the ventricle.[3] Atrial premature complexes (APCs) do not have a compensatory pause since they reset the sinus node but atrial ...

Premature Atrial Contractions in the General Population: Frequency and Risk Factors | CirculationPremature Atrial Contractions in the General Population: Frequency and Risk Factors | Circulation
Background-Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are independent predictors of atrial fibrillation, stroke and death. However, little is known about PAC frequency in the general population and its association with other cardiovascular risk factors. Methods and Results-We performed a cross-sectional analysis among participants of the population-based Swiss cohort Study on Air Pollution and Lung Diseases in Adults (SAPALDIA). 24-hour Holter electrocardiograms to assess PAC prevalence and frequency were performed in a random sample of 1742 participants aged ≥50 years. The median (interquartile range) number of PACs per hour was 0.8 (0.4-1.8), 1.1 (0.5-2.4), 1.4 (0.7-4.6), 2.3 (0.8-6.9) and 2.6 (1.2-6.5) among participants aged 50-55, 55-60, 60-65, 65-70 and 70+ years, respectively (p,0.0001). Only 18 (1.0%) participants did not have at least 1 PAC during Holter monitoring. In multivariable negative binomial regression models, PAC frequency was significantly associated with age (Risk ratio (RR) per ...

However, that just tests the amount in the blood stream, and I was fasting before going in for the physical, no losartan potassium, no potassium salt and no bananas to load potassium into my blood stream - but THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT HIGH LEVELS OF POTASSIUM HADNT BUILT UP IN THE OTHER CELLS OF THE BODY, as I had read an internet article which pointed out. So bottom line, I bought an EMAY portable ecg monitor ($99 on amazon, great little machine!) and read up a little on how to read an ecg graph, and learned that a high and pointed (rather than rounded) T-wave, usually indicates hyperkalemia, or too much potassium!! So I stopped eating bananas altogether to bring my potassium level down, and within a day or two the majority of my ecg readings were normal, whereas before 30-50% showed arrhythmia.. Also previously my readings before tended to show quite a few bradycardia readings (heart rate below 60), and after reducing my potassium intake, now Im seeing fewer bradycardia readings.

Ectopic Focus in an Accessory Left Atrial Appendage | CirculationEctopic Focus in an Accessory Left Atrial Appendage | Circulation
A 65-year-old man with symptomatic atrial fibrillation refractory to medical therapy was referred for repeat pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. Clinical symptoms included paroxysmal palpitations once to twice per week with associated light-headedness and chest pain. Initial PV isolation had been performed 6 months earlier without cessation of atrial fibrillation despite combined medical therapy with oral flecainide and bisoprolol. His past medical history was significant for hypertension, and in his family history, 1 brother had experienced a stroke at the age of 57 years. Physical examination, ECG, chest radiography, and coronary angiography were normal. Holter 24-hour ECG recordings revealed occasional atrial premature beats and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia.. A magnetic resonance imaging study of the patients PVs and left atrium (LA) was performed before the repeat radiofrequency ablation. Images were acquired with a 1.5-T whole-body magnetic resonance system (Siemens Avanti, Siemens Medical ...

Heart arrhythmiaHeart arrhythmia
Heart arrhythmia, also known as cardiac dysrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast, or too slow.[2] A heart rate that is too fast - above 100 beats per minute in adults - is called tachycardia and a heart rate that is too slow - below 60 beats per minute - is called bradycardia.[2] Many types of arrhythmia have no symptoms.[1] When symptoms are present these may include palpitations or feeling a pause between heartbeats.[1] More seriously there may be lightheadedness, passing out, shortness of breath, or chest pain.[1] While most types of arrhythmia are not serious, some predispose a person to complications such as stroke or heart failure.[2][3] Others may result in cardiac arrest.[3]. There are four main types of arrhythmia: extra beats, supraventricular tachycardias, ventricular arrhythmias, and bradyarrhythmias.[3] Extra beats include premature atrial contractions, premature ventricular contractions, and premature junctional ...

Baby boy has a consistently irregular heartbeat (fairly common). His heart rhythm is called premature atrial contraction. Basically, his atria (the top chambers in the heart which fill with blood) are contracting early and try to dump the blood into the ventricles (the lower chambers that do the pumping to the rest of the body). There is some irritability in the conduction system of the atria and the doctor can hear a pause as the conduction resets the beat. While it is occurring regularly, it is irregular overall ...

Answer to Quiz: Pacemaker on page 130 and case discussionAnswer to Quiz: Pacemaker on page 130 and case discussion
The considerable difference between the PQ interval duration in the 2nd and the 4th PQRST complexes can be explained by collaboration of two pacemaker algorithms. The atrial premature beat of the 3rd PQRST complex leads to switching on the PMT (pacemaker mediated tachycardia) intervention. Work of this mechanism can blind the 3rd QRS complex for pacemaker. Accordingly, the absence of the QRS after P-wave triggers MVP (Managed Ventricle Pacing) algorithm, which leads to the notable shortening of the PQ interval in the 4th PQRST complex. The MVP algorithm foresees slight PQ interval prolongation in the following complexes, which can be noticed in the 5th and 6th QRS complexes.. ...

Rhythm Disturbances. Impulses originating from outside the sinus node are abnormal and create an arrhythmia (dysrhythmia). Abnormal or ectopic impulses are described based on their site of origin (atrial, junctional, supraventricular, ventricular). They are also characterized by timing, that is, whether they occur earlier than the next expected sinus impulse (premature) or whether they occur late (escape), as a rescue mechanism. Abnormal premature impulses (complexes) may occur singly or in multiples. Groups of three or more comprise an episode of tachycardia; bouts of tachycardia may be brief (paroxysmal tachycardia) or quite prolonged (sustained tachycardia). A bigeminal pattern occurs when each normal QRS is followed by a premature complex; the origin of the premature complexes determines whether the rhythm is atrial or ventricular bigeminy..

Electrocardiocardiograms can be difficult to tackle and I know that this is a topic that I repeatedly visit, both for simple things like delineating PVCs (premature ventricular contractions) from PACs (premature atrial contractions) and denoting what defines a second degree type 1 versus a second degree type 2 heart block. But theres so much more than just that - theres right and left bundle branch blocks, right and left ventricular hypertrophy, ischemia, infarction, axis deviation, atrial hypertrophy, etc. While this is a very limited approach to EKGs and while there is still much to learn about them, this is a great introduction to EKGs for any student, whether you are pre-med, pre-PA, pre-NP, pre-nursing, or pre any other health profession.

The clinical manifestations of ALS appear to start at a focal body region and then spread to other regions over time.18-22 The focality of clinical onset is an important issue to discuss because there must be an onset mechanism different from progression pathology, whether or not cell to cell propagation underlies the progression of ALS. At the clinical onset, almost equal proportions of patients have bulbar region, upper limb or lower limb symptoms,19 20 with bulbar cases slightly less frequent (21-25% of all patients).18 21 22 Respiratory symptoms rarely occur first. Thus it seems that the disease can begin stochastically at any region. However, in patients with unilateral upper limb onset, a different frequency of onset between the right and left sides has been reported. Ravits et al19 reported that 34 of 100 ALS patients had onset in the upper limbs: 24 (70.6%) in the right and 10 (29.4%) in the left limb. In 53 ALS patients with unilateral upper limb onset reported by Körner et al,20 onset ...

We have here presented the findings from a national, retrospective, register-based study reporting on comorbidities, survival and causes of death among Danish patients with TB and matched controls. We found that comorbidities were more common among patients with TB than among matched controls, before as well as after the TB diagnosis. The most frequently reported comorbidities were respiratory diseases, which were significantly more common among patients with TB than among matched controls. Overall survival was inferior for TB cases compared with matched controls. Absolute mortality increased with increasing number of comorbidities and with increasing age; but high relative differences were observed for patients with a low comorbid burden as well as for younger adults. Non-pulmonary cancers were the most common causes of death among patients with TB as well as controls. These were followed by COPD, TB and lung cancer as most common causes of death among patients with TB, and by stroke, heart ...

A retrospective chart review of 86 adult patients with ALI found that patients with ALI who also received high dose nebulized salbutamol (2.5-6.4 mg/day) had significantly more days alive and free of ALI (n = 22, 12.2 [4.4] days) compared with the group receiving ≤ 2.4 mg/day (n = 64, 7.6 [1.9] days). There were no differences in non-pulmonary organ failure or hospital mortality rates (48% vs 50%) [26]. After adjustment for differences in case mix between the groups, high dose salbutamol remained independently associated with the number of days alive and free of ALI in a multivariate model..

Atrial Fibrillation Detection from Wrist Photoplethysmography Signals by Syed Khairul Bashar, Dong Han et al.Atrial Fibrillation Detection from Wrist Photoplethysmography Signals by Syed Khairul Bashar, Dong Han et al.
Detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) from a wrist watch photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal is important because the wrist watch form factor enables long term continuous monitoring of arrhythmia in an easy and non-invasive manner. We have developed a novel method not only to detect AF from a smart wrist watch PPG signal, but also to determine whether the recorded PPG signal is corrupted by motion artifacts or not. We detect motion and noise artifacts based on the accelerometer signal and variable frequency complex demodulation based time-frequency analysis of the PPG signal. After that, we use the root mean square of successive differences and sample entropy, calculated from the beat-to-beat intervals of the PPG signal, to distinguish AF from normal rhythm. We then use a premature atrial contraction detection algorithm to have more accurate AF identification and to reduce false alarms. Two separate datasets have been used in this study to test the efficacy of the proposed method, which shows a combined

Arrhythmia - WikipediaArrhythmia - Wikipedia
Automaticity refers to a cardiac muscle cell firing off an impulse on its own. All of the cells in the heart have the ability to initiate an action potential; however, only some of these cells are designed to routinely trigger heart beats. These cells are found in the conduction system of the heart and include the SA node, AV node, Bundle of His and Purkinje fibers. The sinoatrial node is a single specialized location in the atrium that has a higher automaticity (a faster pacemaker) than the rest of the heart and, therefore, is usually responsible for setting the heart rate and initiating each heart beat. Any part of the heart that initiates an impulse without waiting for the sinoatrial node is called an ectopic focus and is, by definition, a pathological phenomenon. This may cause a single premature beat now and then, or, if the ectopic focus fires more often than the sinoatrial node, it can produce a sustained abnormal rhythm. Rhythms produced by an ectopic focus in the atria, or by the ...

Introduction. Neonatal tachycardia is defined as a resting heart rate (HR) of 182 beats per minute (bpm) when the baby is not crying.1,2 Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common tachyarrhythmia in the neonatal period and usually presents with a HR of more than 200bpm and with a narrow QRS complex. In 80% of patients, it originates through a mechanism of retrograde conduction via an accessory pathway between the ventricle and the atrium, with an abrupt onset and termination. In 15% of patients it results from atrial ectopic beats, while 5% of cases correspond to re-entrant nodal tachycardias.3,4 Approximately half of these patients present with heart failure, with suspicion of sepsis in some cases. The tachycardia may be detected in the foetal period, most frequently between weeks 28 and 33 of gestation, possibly manifesting with hydrops.5. The key element in the management of haemodynamically unstable patients with tachycardia is electric cardioversion. However, in stable patients, ...

Heart block, or atrioventricular (AV) block, is either complete or incomplete. The term third-degree AV block, or complete heart block, is applied when there is no relationship between the atrial and ventricular beats and the atrial rate is faster than the ventricular. Incomplete AV block is divided into first-degree, second-degree, and advanced AV block. By definition, first-degree AV block occurs when the PR interval is 0.20 seconds and each atrial beat is followed by a ventricular complex. Second-degree AV block results in intermittent failure of atrial impulses to be conducted to the ventricles and is divided into two basic types: Type I or Wenckebach (also called Mobitz I) shows progressive lengthening of the PR interval from beat to beat until an atrial complex is blocked. Because of these periodic pauses, âœgrouped beatingâ occurs and, when present, aids in the diagnosis of Mobitz I block. It may be seen transiently in acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. Type II AV block ...

OBJECTIVE: Based on the theoretical basis of Gabor wavelet transformation, the application effects of feature extraction algorithm in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the role of feature extraction algorithm in the diagnosis of lumbar vertebra degenerative diseases were explored. METHOD: The structure of lumbar vertebra and degenerative changes were respectively introduced to clarify the onset mechanism and pathological changes of lumbar vertebra degenerative changes. Most importantly, the theoretical basis of Gabor wavelet transformation and the extraction effect of feature information in lumbar vertebra MRI images were introduced. The differentiation effects of feature information extraction algorithm on annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus were analyzed. In this study, the data of lumbar spine MRI was randomly selected from the Wenzhou Lumbar Spine Research Database as research objects. A total of 130 discs were successfully fitted, and 109 images were graded by a doctor after ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe and fatal muscle wasting disease characterized by a high mutation rate in the gene that encodes the membrane-associated protein dystrophin that results in absence of expressed protein. Although the primary genetic defect for DMD is known, the mechanisms that initiate the onset of DMD are not currently understood. This study tested the hypothesis that pathophysiological processes involved in DMD could be identified by the global expression of mRNA in maturing dystrophin- and utrophin-deficient mouse (mdx:utrn-/-) muscles. Two potential dystrophic onset mechanisms targeted for analysis were (1) disrupted expression of calcium handling proteins; and, (2) increased expression of immune response markers. An mRNA expression profile was developed following isolation of total RNA from control and mdx:utrn-/- triceps surae (TS) muscles at ages 9-10 and 20-21 days using Affymetrix® Mu74Av2 GeneChips®. Compared to control, the mRNA expression profile in ...

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of senile dementia worldwide. AD is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of memory and language skill, collapse of the cognitive function, and distortion of social behavior. As of today, the onset mechanisms of AD and cure are unknown; however, three hallmarks are commonly encountered: extra and intracellular accumulation of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide plaques, formation of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, and inevitable neuronal death. Hypothetically, a possible scenario provoking or involved in the onset of AD is a cascade effect that starts with an imbalance in the production and clearance of Abeta peptide that consequently leads to its accumulation, formation of tau protein tangles and neuronal death. This work studied and characterized the mechanisms governing Abeta peptide aggregation and the effects of using anti-Abeta monoclonal antibodies to modify this process. These mechanisms play an important ...

ECG Rhythms: Atrial Tachycardia with a Type I BlockECG Rhythms: Atrial Tachycardia with a Type I Block
This is an irregular narrow complex rhythm. The first 2 sinus P waves (S) are of the same morphology with a PRI of about 0.20 sec and a rate of about 60 bpm (lead II). The tachycardia starts with a premature complex with different P wave morphology (blue arrow). The tachycardia is best observed in V1. The rate tends to increase (107 to about 170 bpm) then there is a non-conducted P wave (first red arrow). The first conducted P has a shorter PRI compared to the previous PRI. The tachycardia resumes with 1:1 conduction then a non-conducted P wave is seen (second red arrow). Thus, this is atrial tachycardia with a block (type I block). ...

99mTcMAA nuclear medicine scintigraphy scans may conclusively document the presence of right-to-left shunt. These scans employ a radioactive tracer attached to albumin particles, which range in size from 10-40 microns in diameter. Normally, particles of this size, when injected intravenously, embolize the precapillary pulmonary arterioles and do not pass into the systemic circulation. However, in patients with HPS, the 99mTc-MAA particles may pass directly through the dilated vessels to embolize systemic organs, such as the brain, spleen, or kidney. Such systemic tracer embolization is characteristic of right-to-left shunting, but can be seen with cardiac or extracardiac shunts. Therefore, exclusion of non-pulmonary causes of right-to-left shunting is required to firmly establish the diagnosis of HPS. ...

Hi, I am 35 and had a heart attack 18 months ago, due to high cholesterol. As a result I needed a stent in my RCA and have been told I have very mild disease in my LAD. my cardiologist told me I suffered next to no damage to my heart musle. My cholesterol is now under control. I was and am reasonably fit and have never smoked or been over weight. I have had 3 normal stress tests since the MI. Can I live a normal life span if I continue to look after myself? and I experience the odd ectopic beat during rest and exercise which scares me. Should I be worried about ectopics? Thanks for your time ...

  • A preceding T wave may hide the P wave, producing "peaked" waves or "camel humps" which may be mistaken for a premature junctional contraction. (newhealthadvisor.org)
  • However, if an ectopic focus depolarises early enough - before the arrival of the next sinus impulse - it may "capture" the ventricles, producing a premature contraction. (litfl.com)

  • Atrial contraction important during exercise therefore when absent will decrease maximal cardiac output and result in submaximal performance. (vetstream.com)
  • In the absence of underlying heart disease and at rest, coordinated atrial contraction has little effect on ventricular filling, therefore many horses may show no clinical signs at rest. (vetstream.com)
  • During exercise with higher heart rates diastole is shorter and atrial contraction contributes significantly to ventricular filling. (vetstream.com)
  • In atrial bigeminy, the other "twin" is a premature atrial contraction (PAC). (wikipedia.org)
  • When there is an atrial contraction for each ventricular beat, the A-A Interval is the same as beats per minute or heart rate. (pacemakerclub.com)

  • Whats the difference between Atrial Tachycardia and wondering atrial pacemaker? (brainscape.com)
  • Atrial Tachycardia is three or more PAC in a row, and PACs are a different type of P wave, but maybe we can say that all the P waves of the Atrial Tachycardia are to look the same, but by wondering Atrial pacemaker, it is just confused, wondering, should I be this type of P wave or should I be that type of P wave. (brainscape.com)
  • So it will have each of its P waves looki g different, but Atrial Tachycardia, it is fast and repeared PACs. (brainscape.com)
  • Only way to differnetiate this from atrial tachycardia is to know the history, that it was sudden onset, but other than that, they look the same. (brainscape.com)
  • The other rare E.C.G. changes include deformity of QRS complexes, prolongation of PR interval, atrial premature beats, and atrial tachycardia. (wikipedia.org)

  • Frost L, Molgaard H, Christiansen E, Jacobsen C, Allermand H, Thomsen P (1995) Low vagal tone and supraventricular ectopic activity predict atrial fibrillation and flutter after coronary artery bypass grafting. (springer.com)
Irregular2
  • In absence of discernible atrial electrical activity, a grossly irregular ventricular rhythm still suggest the presence of atrial fibrillation. (rjmatthewsmd.com)
  • Coarse atrial fibrillation waves (f) may be confused with atrial flutter, but the irregular ventricular response is helpful in making the distinction (see figure 15a ). (rjmatthewsmd.com)
Reentrant1
  • An increase in automaticity of atrial heart muscle fibers or a single reentrant circuit can cause a premature P wave to occur. (petmd.com)
Supraventricular premature complex2
  • The prevalence of supraventricular premature complex was 85.7% vs. 93.7% in the preoperative period, 85.7% vs. 81.2% in the intraoperative and 76.2% vs. 100% in the postoperative period, respectively for groups TUP and control. (scielo.br)
  • Atrial premature complex (APC) Heart: supraventricular premature complex → atrial fibrillation (AF). (vetstream.com)
Ablation of atrial1
  • Identification of their presence along with demonstration of electrical activity within such structures is key to successful ablation of atrial fibrillation 5 . (scmr.org)
Enlargement5
  • Generally a sign of atrial disease/enlargement or cardiomyopathy. (vetstream.com)
  • Atrial enlargement secondary to cardiomyopathy especially hypertrophic Heart: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy . (vetstream.com)
  • These factors are enhanced in the presence of underlying cardiac pathology which results in atrial enlargement, eg mitral regurgitation Heart: mitral regurgitation or large ventricular septal defects Heart: ventricular septal defect . (vetstream.com)
  • There may also be evidence of both left atrial (widened P waves) and left ventricular enlargement. (merckvetmanual.com)
  • Thoracic radiographs may demonstrate severe left atrial enlargement. (merckvetmanual.com)
Palpitations1
  • 2. Palpitations may be from premature ventricular or atrial complexes. (medhelp.org)
Left atrial thrombus2
  • The aim of the study was to examine the association of CHADS2/CHA2DS2-VASc scores with left atrial thrombus (LAT) and spontaneous echocardiographic contrast (SEC) in non-anticoagulated nonvalvular atr. (bioportfolio.com)
  • Calcified left atrial thrombus. (rjmatthewsmd.com)
Initiation1
  • Inhomogeneity of the refractory state in the atrial myocardium maintains AF → initiation of a circus movement (requires a large atrial mass and suitable refractory and excitable cells to be sustained). (vetstream.com)
Spontaneous1
  • Atrial Flutter Has Less Left Atrial Spontaneous Contrast and Higher Left Atrial Appendage Emptying Velocity Compared with Atrial Fibrillation. (bioportfolio.com)
