232 Bradyarrhythmias Flashcards
(18 cards)
Normal snrt
<1500 ms
Longest pause after cessation. Of overdrive pacing of right atrium near the SA node
Sinus node recovery time
One half the diff between inteinsic cycle length ans noncompensatory pause after a pre ature atrial stimulus
Sinoatrial conduction time (SACT)
Aim of therapy in SA node dysfunction
Alleviation of symptoms
Since it is not associated with mortality
MC causes of pathologic bradycardia
SA node dysfunction
aV conduction block
Common on the young
Results from high vagal tone
Found in 10% of adults
Transient AV block
Location of SA node
Atrial SVC junction
Sulcus terminalis
Specific indicator of intrinsic SA node disease
Abnormal SNRT
Abn SACT
Low IHR
Increase SNRT (N=<1500 ms) in patients with SA node dysfunction
B blockers and CCBs
Improve SA node function by shortening SNRT
Digitalis
Rx SA node dyafunxtion
Isoproteronol
Atropine
