In a normal heart, the rate of atrial contraction is the same as the rate of ventricular contraction. At rest, the frequency of the discharges originating from the SA node is low, and the heart beats at the lower range of normal (60 to 80 beats/minute). During exercise or excitement, ...
Treatment for AFib is variable and depends upon the patient's condition; three goals are usually attempted; first is medication -- cardiac rate control (slowing down the ventricular rate if it is fast), second is to restore and maintain normal cardiac rhythm, and finally, to prevent clot form...
Weak (having no energy and irregular pulse with high blood pressure) Serious symptoms that require immediate medical treatment (call 911) include: Shortness of breath Chest pain Low blood pressure Fainting Confusion Very rapid heartbeats Although there are no blood tests that can confirm a diagnosis...
(diuretics) during treatment with MULTAQ. Your healthcare provider may check you for this problem before and during treatment. Tell your healthcare provider if you develop any of the following symptoms of low potassium or low magnesium during treatment with MULTAQ: nausea or vomiting; weakness or...
Atrial fibrillation causes an irregular heart rate. If you check your pulse, you may feel a "fluttering" sensation. When atrial fibrillation is new in onset or poorly controlled by medications, you will often feel your heart racing. This rapid, abnormal heart rate can be dangerous if not trea...
A single pulse of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal consists of the morphology, heart rate, regularity, wave segments, relative amplitudes, timing intervals, and normalized energy in a beat or a rhythm [1]. ECG is a popular non-invasive tool used to classify healthy and unhealthy cardiac activ...
Although a normal resting pulse may vary between 40 to 100 per minute, the sinus node, influenced by signals from the nervous system and endocrine organs, adjusts the heart rate to meet demands such as during physical exercise. Normal heart rhythm originating from the sinus node is termed sinu...

Suspected AFib can be investigated with manual pulse rate and EKG analysis, but this is ineffective in diagnosing paroxysmal AFib, which typically requires a Holter monitor (24-h) or event monitor (7–30 day) recording, a physical examination, a complete blood count, transthoracic echocardiography...
