Arrhythmias can be divided into two main categories ventricular and supraventricular. Supraventricular arrhythmias occur in the heart's two upper chambers called the atrium. Ventricular arrhythmias occur in the heart's two lower chambers called the ventricles. ... A very common long term arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation.

Cardiac arrhythmia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cardiac arrhythmia (also dysrhythmia ) is a term for any of a large and heterogeneous group of conditions in which there is abnormal electrical activity in the heart. The heart beat may be too fast...

You won’t hear me complain very often . . . I enjoy doing these sections on HeartPoint, but ventricular arrhythmias are difficult. While they can be extremely dangerous in some circumstances, the vast majority are no more dangerous than a hangnail.

A less serious type of ventricular arrhythmia is a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). As the name suggests, the condition happens when the ventricles contract too soon, out of sequence with the normal heartbeat.

What is a ventricular arrhythmia? A person with a ventricular arrhythmia has an abnormal heart rate or abnormal heart rhythm. An electrical impulse stimulates the muscle fibers in the heart to contract in a very organized manner. ... A person with a ventricular arrhythmia has an abnormal heart rate or abnormal heart rhythm.

This imbalance can cause myocardial changes that may play a role in the development of ventricular arrhythmia, a common cause of sudden death in persons with congestive heart failure (CHF). The inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) by reducing circulating angiotensin II levels may suppress...

Ventricular ectopic beats which may or may not be associated with chest discomfort, dyspnea, or syncope; due to isolated, non-sustained, or sustained ventricular ectopy. The prognosis is based on underlying heart disease and hemodynamic consequences of the arrhythmia.

METHODS: Using the National Veterans Administration database, we identified a cohort of 6,996 patients from 1995 to 1999 with new-onset ventricular arrhythmia and pre-existing ischemic heart disease and congestive heart failure, of which 1,442 received a defibrillator, and followed them for three years to determine rates...
