Presentation
A surrogate model for the daily use is present to underline the clinical needs.We have therefore developed, for the first time, a surrogate model that helps in daily practice to recognize and prevent TCR episodes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
When a P wave is present and not followed by a QRS wave (and heart contraction), there is an atrioventricular block, and a very slow pulse (bradycardia). [mountsinai.org]
Workup
Subsequent cardiac workup showed no abnormalities. We believe the cause of arrest was sugammadex, considering the time of administration, the absence of cardiac disease, and stable operative course. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serologic titers for various infectious diseases such as Lyme disease may be helpful in a short-term capacity, but since the results will not be available immediately, they are not essential in the initial diagnostic workup. [reliasmedia.com]
T Wave
-
T Wave Inversion
T-wave inversion was the most frequent ECG abnormality (n 31 patients), followed by ST segment changes (nine patients with elevation and six with depression). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other Pathologies
-
Myocardial Fibrosis
Myocardial fibrosis is the most common cause. Associations: Inferior acute myocardial infarction. Sick sinus syndrome. Mobitz type II. Second-degree block plus new bundle branch or fascicular block. [patient.info]
Treatment
Dopamine agonists (DAs) are efficacious for the treatment of motor and nonmotor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment When an arrhythmia is serious, you may need urgent treatment to restore a normal rhythm. [mountsinai.org]
Usually asymptomatic and treatment not required. Treat if symptomatic or in the context of inferior myocardial infarction. Mobitz type II : Conduction defect below AV node. [patient.info]
Learn how it's diagnosed, and what treatments can help. Treatments Treatment for bradycardia depends on what is causing it and the severity of your symptoms. The goal of treatment is to raise your heart rate so your body gets the blood it needs. [vidanthealth.com]
Prognosis
BACKGROUND: The prognosis of super-elderly patients (age 85 years) who undergo bradycardia pacemaker (PM) implantation remains unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The lower the fetal heart rate, the worse the prognosis. [radiopaedia.org]
Bradycardia can also be produced by drugs such as digitalis or morphine and is a common abnormality in heart attack victims, for whom it often indicates a favourable prognosis. [britannica.com]
Prognosis Prognosis varies depending on what’s causing bradycardia. Some conditions can be reversed or managed through medication, lifestyle changes and regular monitoring. Others may require a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator. [baptisthealth.com]
Prognosis for bradycardia resulting from extrinsic influences on the heart largely depends upon the underlying diagnosis. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
Etiology
Amisulpride-induced bradycardia is a rare condition of unknown etiology and mechanism. Asymptomatic bradycardia has been associated with amisulpride in only two cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Consider this diagnosis in patients without other etiologies of conduction disorders. [reliasmedia.com]
Epidemiology
He has since completed further training in emergency medicine, clinical toxicology, clinical epidemiology and health professional education. [lifeinthefastlane.com]
Epidemiology It is impossible to give meaningful figures on incidence and prevalence. In most young people bradycardia is physiological and represents athletic training. [patient.info]
One in 600 adults over the age of 65 has sinus node dysfunction, but more research needs to be done to collect epidemiologic data within the United States and globally for patients with sinus bradycardia.[11] Pathophysiology Sinus bradycardia as any of [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] epinephrine) or transcutaneous pacing should be used.[13] Transvenous pacing may be required if the cause of the bradycardia is not rapidly reversible.[13] In children, giving oxygen, supporting their breathing, and chest compressions are recommended.[14][15] Epidemiology [en.wikipedia.org]
Pathophysiology
This case report highlights the occurrence of this complication during a routine removal of a true vocal fold lesion at a tertiary medical center and discusses the potential pathophysiological mechanisms and proposed management options for this phenomenon [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In this article, we will briefly review the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment of patients with bradycardia.Clinical PresentationCardiac output is the left ventricular forward stroke volume multiplied by the heart [doi.org]
The pathophysiology of sinus bradycardia is dependent on the underlying cause. [1] Commonly, sinus bradycardia is an incidental finding in otherwise healthy individuals, particularly in young adults, athletes or sleeping patients. [2] Other causes of [emedicine.com]
Prevention
Prevention Taking steps to prevent coronary artery disease may reduce your chance of developing an arrhythmia. [mountsinai.org]
Previous reports are reviewed, postulated mechanisms discussed, and preventative strategies presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Highly trained athletes may also have athletic heart syndrome, a very slow resting heart rate that occurs as a sport adaptation and helps prevent tachycardia during training. [dbpedia.org]
