This is probably due to difficulties around sustaining attention, and impulsivity, as well as developmental and learning difficulties. [collett.herts.sch.uk]

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

Although the degree of pressure lowering is usually smaller, the drug's negative inotropic and chronotropic effects result in decreased impulse and dp/dtmax. [openheart.bmj.com]

Cardiac Arrhythmia

This requires that all cells ahead of the impulse wave are excitable and offer equal capacity to transmit the impulse. [ecgwaves.com]

When these fibers recovered their excitability before extinction of the premature impulse, they were reentered in a retrograde direction, and the impulse traveled in a circular [doi.org]

The AV node blocks part of atrial impulses from reaching the ventricles. In this example, only one out of every three atrial impulses makes its way to the ventricles. [youtube.com]

Overactive Bladder

This is a more invasive form of neuromodulation in which electrical impulses are used to stimulate and modulate sacral nerves in an effort to relieve OAB symptoms. [njurology.com]

Nerve stimulation Regulating the nerve impulses to your bladder can improve overactive bladder symptoms. [mayoclinic.org]

Atrial Arrhythmia

SVT occurs when an electrical impulse “re-enters” the atrial muscles. [virginiaheart.com]

For example, the SA node increases the rate of impulses during exercise and decreases the rate of impulses during sleep. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

The term "arrhythmia" refers to any change from the normal sequence of electrical impulses. [heart.org]

Supraventricular Tachycardia

[…] way for electrical impulses to travel from atria to the ventricles. [centralsydneycardiology.com.au]

A normal heartbeat is caused by an electrical impulse traveling through the heart. [chop.edu]

When there are areas with different electrical function close to each other, the normal even conduction of electrical impulses can be disrupted, especially if a normal beat [centralsydneycardiology.com.au]

Atrial Fibrillation

For example, the SA node increases the rate of impulses during exercise and decreases the rate of impulses during sleep. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

Normal heart contractions begin as an electrical impulse in the right atrium. [emedicinehealth.com]

Atrial Flutter

Each heartbeat begins with an impulse from the heart's pacemaker (sinus or sinoatrial node). This impulse activates the upper chambers of the heart (atria). [merckmanuals.com]

Unlike ATRIAL FIBRILLATION which is caused by abnormal impulse generation, typical atrial flutter is caused by abnormal impulse conduction. [fpnotebook.com]

This rate is too fast to allow every impulse to be conducted through the atrioventricular node to the ventricles. [merckmanuals.com]

Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia

As the impulse cycles in this reentrant circuit, it sends new impulses to the neighboring cells. [members.drbeen.com]

In most cases there is 1:1 ventricular response, meaning all atrial impulses are conducted to the ventricles. [ecgwaves.com]

Paroxysmal Nodal Tachycardia

The onset of AVNRT is triggered by a premature atrial impulse. [emedicine.medscape.com]

If this retrograde impulse is then able to reenter the alfa pathway, a continuously circulating impulse can be established within the AV node. [af-ablation.org]

If the slow pathway (alpha) has repolarized by the time the impulse completes the retrograde conduction, the impulse can reenter the slow pathway (alpha) and initiate AVNRT [emedicine.medscape.com]

Bradyarrhythmia

After impulse transmission through the bundle of His, the impulse is conducted to the right and left bundle branches which generate Fast action potential. [youtube.com]

In type 1, it takes progressively longer for each SA node impulse to exit the node until an impulse fails to exit the node and depolarize the atria. [eplabdigest.com]

The most common formula (all intervals in sec) is Rhythm disturbances result from abnormalities of impulse formation, impulse conduction, or both. [merck.com]

Heart Block

When the ventricles (lower chambers) do not receive electrical impulses from the atria (upper chambers), they may generate some impulses on their own, called junctional or [hrsonline.org]

When the electrical impulse reaches the atrioventricular node (3), it is delayed slightly. [merckmanuals.com]

Heart Block Definition Heart block refers to a delay in the normal flow of electrical impulses that cause the heart to beat. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Bradycardia

The impulse then reaches the atrioventricular node (AV node), which regulates the flow of the impulse as it passes between the atria and ventricles. [news-medical.net]

Second-degree heart block: Not all of the electrical impulses pass from the upper to the lower chambers. This may cause some symptoms. [cardiovascular.abbott]

This is a safety mechanism when a lack of electrical impulse or stimuli from the atrium occurs.[5] Impulses originating within or below the bundle of His in the atrioventricular [en.wikipedia.org]
