2. Cardiac stress test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_stress_test

   A cardiac stress test is a cardiological examination that evaluates the cardiovascular system's response to external stress within a controlled clinical setting. This stress response can be induced through physical exercise (usually a treadmill) or intravenous pharmacological stimulation of heart rate.

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. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging perfusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_magnetic_resonance...

   Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging perfusion (cardiac MRI perfusion, CMRI perfusion), also known as stress CMR perfusion, [1] is a clinical magnetic resonance imaging test performed on patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease to determine if there are perfusion defects in the myocardium of the left ventricle that are caused by narrowing of one or more of the coronary arteries.

5. Dobutamine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobutamine

   Dobutamine is a medication used in the treatment of cardiogenic shock (as a result of inadequate tissue perfusion) and severe heart failure. [2] [3] It may also be used in certain types of cardiac stress tests. [2] It is given by IV only, as an injection into a vein or intraosseous as a continuous infusion. [2]

6. Antiarrhythmic agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiarrhythmic_agent

   Antiarrhythmic agents, also known as cardiac dysrhythmia medications, are a class of drugs that are used to suppress abnormally fast rhythms (tachycardias), such as atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia.

7. Myocardial perfusion imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_perfusion_imaging

   Myocardial perfusion imaging or scanning (also referred to as MPI or MPS) is a nuclear medicine procedure that illustrates the function of the heart muscle (). [1]It evaluates many heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), [2] hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart wall motion abnormalities.

8. Electrophysiology study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiology_study

   This is done by injecting electric current into the conductive pathways and into the endocardium at various places. Last, the electrophysiologist may administer various drugs (proarrhythmic agents) to induce arrhythmia (inducibility of VT/VF [4]). If the arrhythmia is reproduced by the drugs (inducible), the electrophysiologist will search out ...

9. 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.
