   Swapping out sedentary behaviors for just a few minutes of exercise is good for your heart. An extra 5 minutes of daily physical activity helps lower blood pressure, new study finds. These types ...

3. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

   Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14] Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [15]

4. List of cardiology mnemonics - Wikipedia

   Anticoagulants: To prevent embolization.. Beta blockers: To block the effects of certain hormones on the heart to slow the heart rate.. Calcium Channel Blockers: Help slow the heart rate by blocking the number of electrical impulses that pass through the AV node into the lower heart chambers (ventricles).

5. Supraventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraventricular_tachycardia

   Atrial fibrillation meets the definition of SVT when associated with a ventricular response greater than 100 beats per minute. It is characterized as an "irregularly, irregular rhythm" both in its atrial and ventricular depolarizations and is distinguished by its fibrillatory atrial waves that, at some point in their chaos, stimulate a response ...

6. Cardioversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioversion

   Synchronized electrical cardioversion is used to treat hemodynamically unstable supraventricular (or narrow complex) tachycardias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. It is also used in the emergent treatment of wide complex tachycardias, including ventricular tachycardia, when a pulse is present.

7. Tachycardia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia

   Depending on the patient's health and other variables such as medications taken for rate control, atrial fibrillation may cause heart rates that span from 50 to 250 beats per minute (or even higher if an accessory pathway is present). However, new-onset atrial fibrillation tends to present with rates between 100 and 150 beats per minute. [22]

8. Wandering atrial pacemaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wandering_atrial_pacemaker

   Wandering atrial pacemaker may be seen in young, healthy individuals as well as in the elderly and those with lung disease. [2] The cause of wandering atrial pacemaker is unclear. Increased tone from the vagus nerve may factor into the rhythm appearing in young, healthy individuals who exercise. The vagus nerve is a part of the parasympathetic ...

9. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure_with...

   Atrial contraction is responsible for around 20% of the total filling blood volume. (In atrial fibrillation, this additional 20% filling volume is lost and the patient may experience systolic heart failure symptoms). [32] Complete left ventricular filling is essential to maintain maximum cardiac output.
