Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a condition of the heart where faulty electrical signals cause it to flutter or beat too fast. It raises your chances of a stroke and other heart problems. If your doctor diagnoses you with AFib, they may suggest lifestyle changes like changes to your diet ...
Briefly describe the following: bradycarda, tachycardia, sinus dysrhythmia, premature contractions, and ventricular fibrillation. The first heart sound is the result of the closure of the ___ valves. The heart chambers that have just been filled when you hear the first heart sound...
Symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation(AF) is a type ofarrhythmia. Most people with AF experience one or more of the following symptoms: Heart palpitations(a sudden pounding, fluttering, or racing feeling in the heart) Lack of energy Dizziness (feeling faint or light-headed) Chest d...
Therapies to prevent a first or recurrent stroke are based on treating an individual's underlying risk factors for stroke, such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and diabetes. 预防首次或复发性中风的方法是针对个人潜在的中风危险因素进行治疗,如:高血压、心房纤颤以及糖尿病。 Acute stroke therapies ...
Describing the condition as "a confusion of the heart," where the heart muscle pumps erratically, Agus said the energy of the blow interferes with the electrical signals in the heart, creating a ventricular fibrillation — a fast, erratic heartbeat that does not pump blood into th...
The purposeof this study was to carry out a comparative analysis of signs and symptoms by scale EHRA, type of paroxysm flow and structural-functional state of the myocardium in the patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) depending on the presence of insulin resistance. 114 patients ...
In addition to weakening the heart, the widowmaker can also make the heart muscle irritable, increasing the risk of abnormal electrical activity like ventricularfibrillation(VFib). VFib is the cause of sudden cardiac death. Normally, the heart beats rhythmically, but in VFib, every cell of the...
Cardiac (heart) complications: Cardiac complications of hyperthyroidism can be serious and life-threatening. Cardiac complications include a rapid heart rate and altered heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation which can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure. Brittle bones: Untreated hyperthyroidism...
In addition to weakening the heart, the widowmaker can also make the heart muscle irritable, increasing the risk of abnormal electrical activity like ventricularfibrillation(VFib). VFib is the cause of sudden cardiac death. Normally, the heart beats rhythmically, but in VFib, every cell of the...
Irrigation. Adding a warm saltwater solution to the area around the lungs or abdominal cavity through catheters. Complications during recovery can includepneumonia, irregular heartbeat, ventricular fibrillation (a dangerous "fluttering" rhythm of the heart), cardiac arrest (a sudden stopping of the he...
