What is bidirectional ventricular tachycardia? Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal fast rhythm originating from the ventricle. It is named so because alternate QRS complexes (electrical activity of
What is RSR deflection? RSR’ pattern or RSR’ deflection is a pattern seen on the ECG in right bundle branch block, a conduction defect in the bundle branch
What is the treatment of supraventricular ectopics? Supraventricular ectopics are abnormal heart beats with trigger signals originating above ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart. They could be

What is atrial fibrillation with RVR? Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm originating from the upper chambers of the heart or atria. Usually the atria do not
Can those with a heart pacemaker use a walkie-talkie? Pacemakers are devices used to give regular electrical signals to the heart when the natural pacemaker of the heart
My heart starts pounding occasionally even when I am at rest, what could it be? It could be simply that you are becoming anxious at that time or having
What are phantom shocks? Shocks in this context are electrical discharges by an implanted defibrillator which discharges a transient high voltage current to reset the heart rhythm in
What is EPS/RFA? EPS stands for electrophysiology study. EPS is done by introducing small electrodes into the heart, usually through veins in the groin or the neck. Each
Can supraventricular tachycardia weaken the heart muscle? Supraventricular tachycardia, a fast rhythm originating from the upper chambers of the heart can weaken the heart muscle if it persists
