Abstract

Sixty-three patients with the mitral prolapse (MP) syndrome and a variety of heart rhythm disorders were studied. Diagnostic signs of MP and arrhythmias associated with this conditions are discussed. The most common heart rhythm and conductivity disorders encountered were ventricular extrasystoles (in 27 patients) and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (in 13). The mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias and blocks, and principles of their treatment in patients with the MP syndrome are discussed.

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.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

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.
