…alcohol, and stressful news. The combination can trigger a fatal series of rapid fired ventricular beats call ventricular tachycardia (or V-tach for short). Ventricular tachycardia, is an intense and prolonged racing of the heart—like a runaway PVC. And V-tach is dangerous because it can deteriorate…
…intrinsic rate may be called a junctional tachycardia (or "junctional tach") or AV tachycardia (or AV tach). The term tachycardia is used whenever the heart rate exceeds the usual rate for the source of the electrical stimulation. So, a sinus tachycardia exceeds 100 bpm, and a junctional tach is faster…
…arrhythmia you have. Fast heartbeats for long time periods can occur with what we medically refer to as atrial fibrillation (AF) and supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs: supraventricular identifies the source of the problem in the conduction system; tachy=fast, cardia = heart). In the event that there is no…
…heart region. * Thirty-six percent experienced autonomic vascular crisis: headache, tremor, syncope, brief loss of consciousness (LOC) and had tachycardia (abrupt, rapid heartbeat). * Two had a heart attack and one developed atrial fibrillation (AF) That was 1970. Then, in 2010 Canadian Magda Havas…
Most people are familiar with the artificial pacemakers that we use to keep the heart beating, but many don’t realize that the heart has built-in pacemakers of its own. Every cardiac cell is capable of automaticity (to fire on its own) and conductivity, but there is a specialized network in…
…early beats, PACs can happen randomly, in couplets, in triplets, or in foursome. Four or more PACs in a row are described as a premature atrial tachycardia (PAT) or a supraventicular tach (SVT), as the beats are initiated from “above” the ventricles. A paroxysmal PAT or PSVT means that the burst…
