  2. Premature ventricular contraction - Wikipedia

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

    PVCs can be distinguished from premature atrial contractions because the compensatory pause is longer following premature ventricular contractions, in addition to a difference in QRS appearance. [20] In some people, PVCs occur in a predictable pattern. Two PVCs in a row are called doublets and three PVCs in a rows are triplets.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. Concealed conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concealed_conduction

    Hence, the P-R interval after the PVC is longer than the baseline P-R interval. [ citation needed ] Concealed conduction can be seen in cardiac aberrancy when a bundle branch temporarily blocks due to being refractory, and conduction from the other bundle branch conceals into the blocked branch retrograde thus perpetuation the bundle branch ...

  6. Palpitations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpitations

    The cardiac etiologies of palpitations are the most life-threatening and include ventricular sources (premature ventricular contractions (PVC), ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), atrial sources (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter) high output states (anemia, AV fistula, Paget's disease of bone or pregnancy), structural ...

  7. Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_Arrhythmia...

    The second Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST II) modified the enrollment criteria to include patients at higher risk for serious arrhythmia. [4] This included 1) patients enrolled within 4 to 90 days of a previous MI, 2) a left ventricular ejection fraction lower than 40%, 3) prior to enrollment, suppression of PVCs had occurred with the drugs (vs. placebo) using a double-blinded ...
