  2. Premature atrial contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_atrial_contraction

    Premature atrial contractions are often benign, requiring no treatment. Occasionally, the patient having the PAC will find these symptoms bothersome, in which case the doctor may treat the PACs. Sometimes the PACs can indicate heart disease or an increased risk for other cardiac arrhythmias. In this case, the underlying cause is treated.

  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.

    Swan sitting on its packaging. A pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), also known as a Swan-Ganz catheter or right heart catheter, is a balloon-tipped catheter that is inserted into a pulmonary artery in a procedure known as pulmonary artery catheterization or right heart catheterization.

  6. Wandering atrial pacemaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wandering_atrial_pacemaker

    Wandering atrial pacemaker may be seen in young, healthy individuals as well as in the elderly and those with lung disease. [2] The cause of wandering atrial pacemaker is unclear. Increased tone from the vagus nerve may factor into the rhythm appearing in young, healthy individuals who exercise. The vagus nerve is a part of the parasympathetic ...

    In computational learning theory, probably approximately correct (PAC) learning is a framework for mathematical analysis of machine learning. It was proposed in 1984 by Leslie Valiant . [ 1 ]

  8. Premature ventricular contraction - Wikipedia

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

    By definition, a PVC occurs earlier than the regular normally conducted beat. Subsequently, the time between the PVC and the next normal beat is longer as the result of a compensatory pause. [ 19 ] PVCs can be distinguished from premature atrial contractions because the compensatory pause is longer following premature ventricular contractions ...

  9. Definitions of economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_economics

    Economics is a science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. [ 9 ] Robbins describes the definition as not classificatory in "pick[ing] out certain kinds of behaviour" but rather analytical in "focus[ing] attention on a particular aspect of behaviour, the form imposed by the ...
