L7: Arrhythmia - Pt 4 Flashcards
(50 cards)
Introduction to electric Pathway in the Heart
Classification of bradyarrhythmia
- SAN Dysfunction
- AVN Dysfunction
- Intraventricular Conduction disturbanc
Natural Pacemakers in Heart
- SAN is the principal pacemaker of the heart with normal pacing rate at 60-100 BPM
- AVN → 40-60 BPM
- Ventricular myocytes → 20-40 BPM

Failure of physiological increase of heart rate in response to sympathetic stimulation (during exercise)
