ARRYTHMIAS
NORMOTROPIC ARRYTHMIAS SINUS TACHYCARDIA SINUS BRADYCARDIA SINUS ARRYTHMIAS ECTOPIC ARRYTHMIAS HEART BLOCKS:
SA nodal BLOCKS AV nodal BLOCKS(1st,2nd, 3rd degree).
EXTRASYSTOLE ( atrial, AV
nodal and ventricular).
Premature Contractions
Definition: A premature contraction is a contraction of the heart before the time that normal contraction would have been expected. Synonyms: extrasystole, premature beat, or ectopic beat. Depending upon the site of ectopic impulse, we divide the extrasystoles into three types i.e.
1. 2. 3. Atrial extrasystole Junctional/AV nodal extrasystole Ventricular extrasystole
PAROXYSMAL TACHYCARDIA
Definition: there is paroxysms of tachycardia, they appear suddenly and may remain for sometime. Paroxysmal means a series of rapid heart beats suddenly start and then suddenly stop. Types:
Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs)
ATRIAL AV NODAL
Ventricular tachycardias
Treatment: Quinidine increases refractory period of cardiac muscle and can eliminate the problem
