Due to the presence of irregular R to R intervals coupled with the changing P wave morphology, some people have confused this rhythm with Atrial Fibrillation. Atrial Flutter Description Atrial Flutter occurs when there is an obstruction within the atrial electrical conduc...
Please note that while atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter share a high conduction origin point and fast rate, they are typically irregular rhythms and will be discussed later. Women are twice as likely to experience SVT as men at any age. In general, about 2.25 Americans out of 1000 fit...

Beta1-adrenergic receptor sites are located chiefly in the heart where stimulation results in increased heart rate and myocardial contractility. Side effects: bradycardia, fatigue, weakness, HF, pulmonary edema Digoxin Uses: HF, Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter (slows ventricular rate), Paroxysmal...
6. P-wave and PR interval Can you see a p-wave? If the rhythm is atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter or a junctional tachycardia you may not be able to. At this point you can also assess whether each p wave is associated with a QRS complex. P-waves not in association with QRS compl...

What is the difference between systole and diastole, and how do they relate to systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure? The rhythm in which ALL atrial activity is depicted as chaotic undulations of the baseline is called: A) Atrial Fibrillation. B) Atrial...
A technician will attach several electrodes with adhesive pads to the skin of your chest, arms, and legs. If you have hair in those areas, they may need to shave it to allow a better connection. During a resting EKG test, you lie flat while the computer creates a picture, on a graph...
