31 According to the Framingham study, the rate of sudden death (i.e., death caused by arrhythmia) is increased by 9 times in heart failure. Approximately 50% of deaths in patients with heart failure are caused by arrhythmias, most commonly fast ventricular arrhythmias. Atrial arrhythmias, ...
Seven cases had a record of a diagnosis of ICD-10 code I35.0, aortic valve stenosis, and autopsy-confirmed diagnosis of cardiac hypertrophy with a mean age of 75 years, and 14 cases had no clinical or autopsy findings of cardiac disease with a mean age of 34 years. Accordingly, patients...
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a microcomputer that is implanted under the skin of your upper chest area. It is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It monitors your heart rate and delivers therapy in the form of small electrical pulses. A cardiac resynchronization...

Rate control medications.These drugs slow a too-rapid heart rate. Surgeries and Procedures for Arrhythmias Some people choose surgical intervention to treat arrhythmias, which may, in some cases, cure them of the condition altogether. For instance, a single cardiac ablation has been shown to perman...
Describes the (electrical) activity of the heart which controls the heart rate. The rhythm may become irregular, become abnormally fast or slow, which may result in the more serious cases, a loss of cardiac output with a drop in blood pressure, or even cessation of the heart beat (contracti...
0:00 / 0:10 Post-diagnosis How does a heart with tachycardia beat? Tachycardia is a fast heart rate — more than 100 beats per minute while at rest — that can either start in the heart's lower or upper chambers. At these elevated rates, the heart is not able to efficiently pump ox...
dependent on heart rate irrespective of the presence of T2DM. Moreover, the multiple regression analyses evidenced the multifactorial etiology of HRV. Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus;women;heart rate variability;mean heart rate;orthostatic challenge;rhythmic breathing...
Cardiac surgery is performed to repair or replace heart valves by a heart surgeon, repair abnormal or damaged heart structures, implant medical devices that help control heart rate or encourage heart function and blood flow, or replace a donor 's damaged heart with a healthy heart. Modern ...
acute ischemic stroke; atrial fibrillation; heart rate variability Graphical Abstract1. Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF), a cardiac disease that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rhythm, may lead to ischemic stroke, heart failure, blood clots, and other cardiac complications. ...
