  2. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy

    Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM, or HOCM when obstructive) is a condition in which muscle tissues of the heart become thickened without an obvious cause. [8] The parts of the heart most commonly affected are the interventricular septum and the ventricles . [ 10 ]

  3. Ectopic beat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_beat

    Ectopic beat is a disturbance of the cardiac rhythm frequently related to the electrical conduction system of the heart, in which beats arise from fibers or group of fibers outside the region in the heart muscle ordinarily responsible for impulse formation (i.e., the sinoatrial node).

    Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy screening is an assessment and testing to detect hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is a way of identifying HCM in immediate relatives of family members diagnosed with HCM, and athletes as part of a sports medical . [ 3 ]

  5. Ectopic pacemaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_pacemaker

    On an ECG, the QRS complex will be abnormally shaped when looking at ventricular ectopic activity, often it occurs earlier with an absent P wave. It can be perceived as a skipped beat on both the ECG and through normal pulse-taking. [12] During atrial ectopic activity where the P wave is normally rounded can be inverted or peaked.

  6. Ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_hypertrophy

    Electrocardiogram (EKG), a non-invasive assessment of the electrical system of the heart, can be useful in determining the degree of hypertrophy, as well as subsequent dysfunction it may precipitate. Specifically, an increase in Q wave size, abnormalities in the P wave , as well as giant inverted T waves , are indicative of significant ...

  7. Pulsus alternans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsus_alternans

    Pulsus alternans is diagnosed by first palpating the radial or femoral arteries, feeling for a regular rhythm but alternating strong and weak pulses. Next, a blood pressure cuff is used to confirm the finding: the cuff is elevated past systolic pressure and then slowly lowered cuff towards the systolic level.

    Congress required all federal agencies to submit annual financial reports in 1990. The Pentagon finally got around to complying in 2018, and it still hasn't passed an audit.

  9. Long QT syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_QT_syndrome

    Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a condition affecting repolarization (relaxing) of the heart after a heartbeat, giving rise to an abnormally lengthy QT interval. [7] It results in an increased risk of an irregular heartbeat which can result in fainting, drowning, seizures, or sudden death. [1]
