   Anticoagulants: To prevent embolization.. Beta blockers: To block the effects of certain hormones on the heart to slow the heart rate.. Calcium Channel Blockers: Help slow the heart rate by blocking the number of electrical impulses that pass through the AV node into the lower heart chambers (ventricles).

3. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

   Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG [a]), a recording of the heart's electrical activity through repeated cardiac cycles. [4] It is an electrogram of the heart which is a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart [ 5 ] using electrodes placed on the skin.

4. Cardiac electrophysiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_electrophysiology

   Drawing of the ECG, with labels of intervals. Cardiac electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology and basic science focusing on the electrical activities of the heart.The term is usually used in clinical context, to describe studies of such phenomena by invasive (intracardiac) catheter recording of spontaneous activity as well as of cardiac responses to programmed electrical stimulation ...

   [45] [46] Arrhythmias are due to problems with the electrical conduction system of the heart. [43] Arrhythmias may occur in children; however, the normal range for the heart rate is different and depends on age. [45] A number of tests can help diagnose arrhythmia, including an electrocardiogram and Holter monitor. [47]

   The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) is a statutorily established [1] cabinet agency of Florida government. [2] In 1969, under Governor Claude Kirk, the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Department of Public Safety were merged forming the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. [ 3 ]

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_technologist

   Cardiovascular technicians who obtain EKGs are known as electrocardiograph (or EKG) technicians. To take a basic EKG, which traces electrical impulses transmitted by the heart, technicians attach electrodes to the patient's chest, arms, and legs, and then manipulate switches on an EKG machine to obtain a reading. An EKG is printed out for ...

   normal sinus rhythm) to reverse the cardiomyopathy. [5] [9] The treatment of the tachyarrhythmia depends on the specific arrhythmia, but possible treatment modalities include rate control, rhythm control with antiarrhythmic agents and cardioversion, radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation, or AV node ablation with permanent pacemaker implantation ...

9. Sinus arrhythmia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_arrhythmia

   Sinus arrhythmia is a commonly encountered variation of normal sinus rhythm. Sinus arrhythmia characteristically presents with an irregular rate in which the variation in the R-R interval is more than 0.12 seconds (120 milliseconds).
