Disturbances in Heart Rhythm01:29

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm

1.3K
Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm caused by a defect in the heart's conduction system. It can cause the heart to beat irregularly, too quickly, or too slowly, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting. Factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, certain drugs, congenital defects, diseases, and electrolyte abnormalities can trigger arrhythmias.
Arrhythmias are categorized by their speed, rhythm, and origin. A slow heart...

Dysrhythmias V: Evaluating Dysrhythmias

125
Dysrhythmias, also known as arrhythmias, are disturbances in the heart's rhythm that range from benign to life-threatening. A thorough evaluation is crucial for appropriate management and involves a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, and various diagnostic tests.Medical HistorySymptoms: Collect detailed information on palpitations, dizziness, syncope, chest pain, and fatigue. Note their onset, frequency, and triggers.Previous Cardiac Issues: Document any history of heart...

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

941
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Heart Sounds01:15

Heart Sounds

2.3K
Heart sounds are generated by the turbulence in blood flow due to the closing of heart valves. These sounds are best perceived slightly away from the valves, where the blood flow disseminates the sound.
Auscultation is the process of listening to these internal body sounds using a stethoscope. The heart produces four types of sounds, but only two—S1 and S2—can usually be heard with a stethoscope.
S1, also known as the "lub" sound, is caused by the closure of atrioventricular (A-V)...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Electrophysiology
  • Cardiac Arrhythmias

Background:

  • Paroxysmal atrioventricular block (AVB) is an under-recognized bradyarrhythmia.
  • Its abrupt onset and unpredictability contribute to missed diagnoses.
  • AVB poses a risk for sudden cardiac death.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a rare case of paroxysmal AVB.
  • To investigate the mechanism of AVB post-coronary angioplasty.
  • To highlight the management strategies for this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Review of clinical presentation and diagnostic findings.
  • Discussion of potential mechanisms and treatment options.

Main Results:

  • A patient developed paroxysmal AVB following coronary angioplasty.
  • The case illustrates the challenges in diagnosing and managing this condition.
  • Specific mechanisms and appropriate interventions were identified.

Conclusions:

  • Paroxysmal AVB is a critical diagnosis to consider, especially post-cardiac procedures.
  • Early recognition and appropriate management are vital to prevent adverse outcomes.
  • This case underscores the importance of understanding AVB mechanisms for effective treatment.
