Oct. 23, 2002 (Boston) — Exercise stress testing can help pediatricians decide whether to put young athletes on medication to control accelerated ventricular rhythms (AVR), according to a study ...

An idioventricular rhythm is very similar to ventricular tachycardia (VT), except the ventricular rate is less than 60. All other characteristics of ventricular tachycardia apply, including the ...

For people who suffer from a rapid heartbeat condition called tachycardia, an implanted device can usually nudge the racing blood pump back into a normal rhythm by applying electrical pulses to the ...

The ECG shows regular P waves at 60 beats per minute (bpm) with no conduction to the ventricles. The ventricular rate is about 70 bpm with QRS duration of 0.20 and a left bundle branch block (LBBB) ...

The initial three quarters of the tracing in Figure 1 could be either ventricular bigeminy with a pseudo-delta wave or ventricular preexcitation of every other beat. Luckily, the last three beats (V4, ...

Between Sept 1982 and Oct 1984, we diagnosed premature ventricular contractions(PVCs) in 9 newborns and infants (3M/6F). CXRs were obtained in 6 patients(pts) and ...

SUDDEN death in persons with artificial pacemakers is a continuing and disturbing problem. Causes include pacemaker-catheter displacement, electric-component failure, broken wires and rising pacing ...
