Abstract:
The efficiency of frequent asynchronous transesophageal electrical stimulation (TEES) of the left atrium in atrial flutter of various origin was analyzed in 62 patients. It was found to be depended on the etiology and duration of arrhythmia and on the frequency of atrial waves. The best results were obtained in patients with postmyocardial cardiosclerosis and coronary heart disease in acute arrhythmias and at a low (less than 300 per min) frequency of flutter waves.

Dysrhythmia management involves a multifaceted approach, incorporating pharmacological treatments, medical procedures, surgical interventions, lifestyle modifications, and patient education.Pharmacological ManagementAntiarrhythmic Drugs:Class I (Sodium Channel Blockers): This class includes quinidine and procainamide, which reduce the speed of impulse conduction in the heart, stabilize the cardiac membrane, and control arrhythmias. Quinidine and procainamide are Class IA agents that prolong the...

Arrhythmia is a condition characterized by an irregular heart rhythm, with ECG changes that differ based on its origin and nature. The types of arrhythmias discussed below include atrial, junctional, and ventricular arrhythmias.Atrial ArrhythmiasPremature Atrial Complexes (PACs): PACs are early atrial beats caused by stress, caffeine, alcohol, electrolyte imbalances, hypoxia, hyperthyroidism, or certain medications (e.g., bronchodilators and decongestants). The ECG shows early P waves with an...
