Atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation are both types of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias).Atrial fibrillation(AFib) affects the two upper chambers of your heart. Ventricular fibrillation (VFib) affects the two lower chambers of the heart. As many as 6 million people in the U.S. have ...
Abbreviations for Atrial Fibrillation: AFib, Afib, AF, afib Abbreviations for ventricular fibrillation: VFib, Vfib, VF, vfib Caution should be taken when using the short form “AF.” AF is also a short-form term for another similar heart arrhythmia – atrial flutter –that is closely related...
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) and ventricular fibrillation (Vfib) are both a type of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Atrial fibrillation is caused by irregular electrical impulses in the atria and ventricular fibrillation is caused by irregular electric
Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is a fancy name for anirregular heartbeat. When yourheart's electrical signals aren't working right, it can lead to a heartbeat that's too fast. This abnormal heart rhythm is what doctors callatrial fibrillation, or AFib for short. For most...
Two mechanisms could explain the ventricular arrhythmia: silent ischaemia and a long-short cycle sequence just before ventricular fibrillation.关键词: Ventricular fibrillation atrial fibrillation isoproterenol DOI: 10.1016/j.kine.2012.06.009 被引量: 18 ...
Aims For patients with refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing atrioventricular nodal ablation (AVNA), initial single-chamber right ventricular (RV)-only pacing is standard. Given the deleterious effects of chronic RV-only pacing, the impact of an initial biventricular (BiV) pacing strategy ...
The impact of ventricular rate (VR) on the outcome of electrical cardioversion (ECV) of acute atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently unknown. We aimed to determine the effect of VR during acute AF on the success of ECV, recurrence of AF, and occurrence of post-cardioversion complications in ...
An implantable medical device according to the invention may monitor a ventricular depolarization rate via the ventricular lead in order to detect the effect of conducted atrial fibrillation of the ventricular rate. For example, the implantable medical device may detect an increase in the ventricular ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with various major adverse cardiac events such as ischemic stroke, heart failure, and increased overall mortality. However, its association with lethal ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular flutter (VFL), and ventricular fibrillatio...
SVT is also known as supraventricular tachycardia which refers to a heart that is beating faster than normal. Learn about the heart and SVT, atrial fibrillation, and the differences between the two. The Heart Today, most people lead hectic lives. We are often busy from the moment we wake ...
