Abstract

The author discusses the results of examination conducted by means of continuous ECG recording for many hours, intracardiac electrography, and programmed electric stimulation of the heart in patients with ischemic heart disease and arrhythmias. It was established that ventricular extrasystoles, including the so-called precursors of ventricular fibrillation, are recorded in most patients suffering from chronic ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction, in 66 and 95% of those examined, respectively. The article gives the electrophysiological criteria of the diagnosis of sino-atrial, atrial, nodal atrio-ventricular, supraventricular in additional paths of stimulation conduction, and ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia.

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.

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.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.
