  2. Premature ventricular contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_ventricular...

    If PVCs are suppressed by exercise, this is an encouraging finding. [citation needed] On electrocardiography (ECG or Holter) premature ventricular contractions have a specific appearance of the QRS complexes and T waves, which are different from normal readings. By definition, a PVC occurs earlier than the regular normally conducted beat.

  3. Photoplethysmogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoplethysmogram

    The height of AC component of the photoplethysmogram is proportional to the pulse pressure, the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure in the arteries. As seen in the figure showing premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), the PPG pulse for the cardiac cycle with the PVC results in lower amplitude blood pressure and a PPG.

  4. Premature heart beat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_heart_beat

    A premature heart beat or extrasystole [1] is a heart rhythm disorder corresponding to a premature contraction of one of the chambers of the heart. Premature heart beats come in two different types: premature atrial contractions and premature ventricular contractions.

  5. Korotkoff sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korotkoff_sounds

    If the pressure is dropped to a level equal to that of the patient's systolic blood pressure, the first Korotkoff sound will be heard. As the pressure in the cuff is the same as the pressure produced by the heart, some blood will be able to pass through the upper arm when the pressure in the artery rises during systole.

  6. Heart rate turbulence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate_turbulence

    The compensatory constriction of the arteries and increased heart rate can cause blood pressure to overshoot normal values, triggering the opposite baroreflex. This time, the brain increases parasympathetic signalling and decreases sympathetic signalling, causing a decrease in heart rate (the turbulence slope part of HRT).

  9. Bigeminy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigeminy

    When the atrial rhythm is irregular (as in atrial fibrillation or sinus arrhythmia) the presence of bigeminy depends on the length of the P–P interval and happens more frequently with a longer interval. As with post PVC pauses, a longer P–P interval leads to a higher chance of re-entrant circuits and thus PVCs.
