Abstract

This paper presents four cases of pediatric extrasystole which did not fulfil the diagnostic criteria for parasystole. By calculating various ectopic intervals, we established the phase-response curve demonstrating that sinus electrotonic activities modulated the parasystolic focus in each case. Our results showed these cases to be modulated parasystole.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
