AF is associated with a significant morbidity and a substantial reduction of quality of life in some patients. The consequences of atrial fibrillation range from none to debilitating, including: Exercise intolerance Congestive heart failure Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (fast heart rate causing heart ...
tachycardia (redirected fromatrial tachycardia) Thesaurus Medical Acronyms Encyclopedia tach·y·car·di·a (tăk′ĭ-kär′dē-ə) n. A rapid heart rate, especially one above 100 beats per minute in an adult. [tachy-+ Greekkardiā,heart; seecardia.] ...
The patient’s heart rate was relatively fast, fluctuating in the range of 70 - 150 bpm, which frequently triggered the monitor’s “tachycardia” related alarm, and occasionally triggered the “extreme tachycardia” alarm with a heart rate exceeding 170....
How can you avoid those problems, such as stroke, heart failure, tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, and dementia? What role does lifestyle play in decreasing your afib burden? Do the new weight loss drugs hurt or help with afib and related conditions? How do doctors decide what medications a ...
s natural pacemaker. It generates the electrical pulses that tell your heart to beat. When the sinus node fires off the signals at the wrong pace, your heartbeat can be too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregular (arrhythmia). It can lead to abnormal heart rhythms, ...
(premature ventricular complex) were defined as coupling interval < 90% and < 80% of the last coupling interval, respectively; supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia episodes were defined as three or more consecutive supraventricular or ventricular beats, respectively, at a speed of more...

Individuals were excluded from the study primarily if they had any current or prior diagnosis of AF, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia; were already prescribed anticoagulation therapy; or had an implantable pacemaker, defibrillator, or both. For the routine care, observational cohort, 2 matched ...
Rate control in atrial fibrillation provides important benefits to patients in terms of symptoms, quality of life and prevention of late consequences of uncontrolled rate (such as tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy). Restricting treatment objectives to achievement of a specific heart rate range on resting...
