Depolarization of the heart ventricles at an increasing heart rate was investigated in a rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (n = 14). It was shown that at an imposed supraventricular rhythm ranging from 30 to 60 bpm the depolarization wave initially propagates from the loci of earliest atrial ...
Bradycardia was defined as heart rate <50 bpm and/or requiring treatment. Ten patients in the amiodarone prophylaxis group who developed AF received additional amiodarone beyond the recommended prophylaxis dose (4200 mg) for treatment of AF.6, 17 Of 32 patients in the control group who developed...
Atrial flutteris an intraatrial macroreentrytachycardiathat can involve the whole atrium or just a part of it. The ECG is quite typical, with characteristic saw-tooth P waves. Inpediatricpatients, it has very fast atrial rate (275–580 bpm) but functional block in theAV junction(more often...
All variants had minimum counts at a 50 bpm heart rate. Maximum points varied between different variants, although all were within 110 to 130 bpm. Variant 3 is notable in that there is no count drop off at 130 bpm as there is in all other variants. Overall, all variants exhibit similar...
Notably, patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV functional status, treatment with amiodarone within the 6 months of enrolment, and an average heart rate (HR) < 50 beats per minute (BPM) were excluded from this trial. Diltiazem was the first-line therapy for the rate ...
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...
A normal heartbeat is 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM). In AFib with RVR, yourheart ratecan reach more than 100 BPM. What Are the Risk Factors for AFib? You're more likely to get atrial fibrillation if you have: Heart disease ...
Rate control in patients with AF is essential to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. The optimal heart rate goal has not been fully defined and may be patient specific. In the RACE II clinical trial, patients were randomly assigned to strict (less than 80 bpm) vs lenient (less th...
Patients with atrial high-rate episodes (AHRE) are at higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The cutoff threshold for AHRE duration for MACE, with/without history of atrial fibrillation (AF) or myocardial infarction (MI), is unknown. A total of 481 consecutive patients with...
On Day 6 after admission, at 9:53 a.m. The patient developed atrial fibrillation again. A few minutes later, the heart rate rose to 153 bpm, triggering atrial fibrillation with high ventricular rate alarm, and the doctor continued amiodarone for cardioversion retreatment....
