Donepezil, sold under the brand name Aricept among others, is a medication used to treat dementia of the Alzheimer's type. [3] [4] [8] It appears to result in a small benefit in mental function and ability to function. [9]
Donepezil: Donepezil may exhibit cardiac issues such as hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, atrioventricular block, and bradycardia due to its vagotonia properties. [2] Common gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting are also associated with donepezil and other acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. [ 2 ]
A heart rate monitor (HRM) is a personal monitoring device that allows one to measure/display heart rate in real time or record the heart rate for later study. It is largely used to gather heart rate data while performing various types of physical exercise. Measuring electrical heart information is referred to as electrocardiography (ECG or EKG).
Cardiac monitoring generally refers to continuous or intermittent monitoring of heart activity to assess a patient's condition relative to their cardiac rhythm. Cardiac monitoring is usually carried out using electrocardiography, which is a noninvasive process that records the heart's electrical activity and displays it in an electrocardiogram. [1]
Memantine/donepezil, sold under the brand name Namzaric among others, is a fixed dose combination medication used for the treatment of dementia of the Alzheimer's type. [1] It contains memantine , as the hydrochloride, a NMDA receptor antagonist ; and donepezil as the hydrochloride, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor . [ 1 ]
The monitor showed his heart rate was at 164 beats per minute (bpm) at the start of his daughter’s routine. But his heart rate jumped up to 181 bpm as he continued to watch.
An anesthetic machine with integrated systems for monitoring of several vital parameters, including blood pressure and heart rate. Monitoring of vital parameters can include several of the ones mentioned above, and most commonly include at least blood pressure and heart rate, and preferably also pulse oximetry and respiratory rate.
Wearable heart rate monitors for athletes were available in 1981. [4] Improvements in technology in the late 20th and early 21st century made it possible to automate the recording of fitness activities, as well as to integrate monitors into more easily worn equipment. The RS-Computer shoe was released in 1986.
