What is second degree heart block? First degree heart block and complete heart block or third degree heart block have been covered earlier. What remains is second degree
What is a perimembranous VSD? Perimembranous VSD is the commonest type of VSD. VSD stands for ventricular septal defect, a hole in the wall between the lower chambers
What is the difference between dextrocardia and dextroposition? Dextrocardia means heart is situated in the right side of the chest instead of the left, as a birth defect.
ECG Simplified – Part 10 Coming back to our previous discussion on conduction disturbances of the heart, we have intraventricular conduction abnormalities or conduction defects in the ventricles.
ECG Simplified – Part 8 Next comes ventricular arrhythmias. Ventricular ectopic beats are also known as ventricular premature beats or complexes (VPB or VPC, sometimes PVC – premature
ECG Simplified – Part 7 Now we will move one to heart rhythm disorders originating from the upper part of the heart known as supraventricular arrhythmias. Supraventricular means
ECG Simplified – Part 6 Now we will move on to abnormalities in the conduction of electrical signals within the heart. Conduction abnormalities between the sinus node and
ECG Simplified – Part 5 Now we will see how the cardiac chamber enlargements are inferred from the ECG. Enlargement of the atria are reflected in the P
