Clinical and laboratory testing The history, physical examination, and ECG are of paramount importance in the evaluation of patients with a suspected arrhythmia. · Resting Electrocardiogram: The judicious use of non-invasive diagnostic tests is an important element in the evaluation of patients with arrhythmias, and there is no test more
An arrhythmia is an abnormal sinus rhythm with normal atrioventricular (AV) conduction. Normal sinus rhythm originates from the sinus node in the upper portion of the right atrium. During sinus rhythm, the heart rate is in the normal range, the P waves are normal on the electrocardiogram (ECG), and the
Abstract—The heart rhythm abnormality arrhythmia is commonly seen in older populations. However, arrhythmia under age 30 years is also seen in recent times. The reason for the incidence of arrhythmias is varied among the individuals based on the lifestyle changes, quality of life and genetic hereditary etc. Arrhythmia is less
A recent review paper published in MDPI proposed a comprehensive, expert verified taxonomy of ECG monitoring systems by conducting a systemic review of the literature around continuous Cardiac monitoring. This review provides evidence-based support for critically understanding ECG monitoring systems’ components, contexts, features, and challenges. · Current developments in ECG
A recent randomized trial results published in JAMA revealed that continuous ECG monitoring of post-op cardiac surgery patients at a high risk of stroke and no preoperative AF showed a significant increase in the rate of Post operative atrial fibrillation (PAOF) that would otherwise have not been detected by usual
Pacing indications differ in male and female, thus separate indications are suggested. Pacing indications evaluation criteria have been modified. Carotid massage is recommended in patients for syncope, where other pathological causes are ruled out. Noninvasive modalities like 12 lead ECG monitoring, exercise testing, multimodality imaging to remain the mainstay for
