Bradycardia indication Explanation: A ventricular bradycardia, also known as ventricular escape rhythm or idioventricular rhythm, is a heart rate of less than 50 BPM. This is a safety mechanism when a lack of electrical impulse or stimuli from the atrium occurs.[3] Impulses originating within or below the bundle of His in the atrioventricular node will produce a wide QRS complex with heart rates between 20 and 40 BPM. Those above the bundle of His, also known as junctional, will typically range between 40 and 60 BPM with a narrow QRS complex.[6][7] In a third-degree heart block, about 61% take place at the bundle branch-Purkinje system, 21% at the AV node, and 15% at the bundle of His.[7] AV block may be ruled out with an EKG indicating "a 1:1 relationship between P waves and QRS complexes."[6] Ventricular bradycardias occurs with sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, and AV block. Treatment often consists of the administration of atropine and cardiac pacing.[3] from: Wikipedia -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 Stunde (2019-07-10 12:53:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Bradycardia is a heart rate that is too slow. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 Stunde (2019-07-10 12:55:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The indication can also, for instance, be for pacing. https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/arrhythmia/about-arrhythmia/bradycardia--slow-heart-rate https://esc365.escardio.org/Congress/EHRA-EUROPACE-CARDIOSTIM-2017/Alternative-pacing-sites-to-prevent-heart-failure/141651-crtp-in-brady-in |
