This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about Arrhythmia.

Arrhythmia refers to an irregular heartbeat or heart rhythm. It can occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate the heartbeat do not work properly, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly. Arrhythmias can range from mild to severe and can be harmless or life-threatening. Common symptoms of arrhythmia include palpitations (an awareness of your own heartbeat), fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, and fainting. Arrhythmias can be caused by various factors such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stress, and certain medications. Treatment for arrhythmias may include medications, lifestyle changes, medical procedures, or surgery depending on the underlying cause and severity of the arrhythmia. Its important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of arrhythmia as it can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

Slide 3-

Basic FactsAn arrhythmia is an abnormality or disturbance in the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat.
Slide 4-

Arrhythmias are caused by problems with the heart's electrical system, such as abnormal formation of the electrical impulses that begin heartbeats or by a disruption of the pattern of conduction of those impulses.
Slide 5-

Because the ventricles are primarily responsible for moving blood through the body, ventricular arrhythmias are often more serious than other arrhythmias.
Slide 6-

CAUSES AND RISK FACTORSCauses of ventricular arrhythmias include: 1- Abnormal electrolyte (mineral, such as potassium and magnesium) levels in the blood 2- Electrocution
Slide 7-

3- Heart attack (myocardial infarction) 4- Unstable angina (chest pain). 5- Scarring resulting from a heart attack
Slide 8-

Ventricular arrhythmias include Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs), which are premature heartbeats; Ventricular tachycardia, an abnormally fast heartbeat; and Ventricular fibrillation, in which the heart quivers rather than contracts. An electrocardiogram of an episode of sustained ventricular tachycardia.
Slide 9-

Premature ventricular contraction (PVC): The ventricles fire an early impulse which causes the heart to beat earlier causing irregularity in the heart rhythm.
Slide 10-

Premature ventricular contraction(PVC)
Slide 11-

Ventricular Tachycardia This is a dangerous type of rapid heart rhythm because it is usually associated with poor cardiac output (amount of blood ejected out of the heart) It results from abnormal tissues in the ventricles generating a rapid and irregular heart rhythm.

Slide 13-

Both ventricular tachycardia and ventricularfibrillation are considered lethal arrhythmias Only ventricular fibrillation, is linked to the clinical term “sudden death.” This rhythm is not able to support life and will lead to clinical death if untreated Ventricular fibrillation All output from the heart stops, blood pressure falls rapidly, and the patient loses consciousness .
Slide 14-

During ventricular fibrillation the heart is electrically stimulated by multiple ectopic sites so that instead of contracting rhythmically in one united wave of depolarization, the muscle actually fibrillates
Slide 15-

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? Diminished or irregular pulse; Fatigue; Shortness of breath; Fainting (syncope); Palpitations (awareness of one's own heartbeat); Low blood pressure; Chest pain; and Cardiac arrest.
Slide 16-

Ventricular fibrillation An electrocardiogram reflecting the irregular, pulseless electrical activity of ventricular fibrillation
Slide 17-

TREATMENT APPROACH Many cases of arrhythmias may not require treatment. Other arrhythmias can be treated by treating any underlying heart disease. Treatments for ventricular arrhythmia includes
Slide 18-

DefibrillationMedication (beta-blockers and antiarrhythmic agents); Radiofrequency catheter ablation; Angioplasty; and Pacemaker implantation.

Heart Block Heart Block
Slide 20-

Heart block, also called atrioventricular block or A-V block, is an abnormality of the spread or flow of electrical activity from the upper heart chambers, the atria, to the lower chambers of the heart, the ventricles.
Slide 21-

Atrioventricular block (AVB): the sinus node may be generating heart beats causing the atria to contract at a normal rate, however not every electrical impulse coming from the atria is being passed down to the ventricles by the atrioventricular node due to a block in conduction. There are various types of AV block depending upon the mechanism of block.
Slide 22-

Classify heart block based on the length the delay
Slide 23-

First-degree heart block Heart beat impulses are delayed in the A-V node, but ultimately reach the ventricles. Sometimes, first-degree heart block can eventually lead to other forms of heart block. .
Slide 24-

In first-degree heart block, the ECG shows one QRS wave for every P wave, but the pause is greater than normal
Slide 25-

Second-degree heart block Heart beat impulses are delayed or blocked in or around the A-V node, and some of the impulses fail to reach the ventricles; Second-degree heart block is further divided into two sub-types: Type I second-degree heart block, also called Mobitz Type I heart block or the Wenckebach phenomenon. Type II second-degree heart block, also called Mobitz Type II block.
Slide 26-

second degree block referred to as Mobitz I or Wenckebach Occasionally sinus impulses will pass through the AV node at slower and slower rates until excitation is actually blocked After that the cycle of delay-delay-block repeats itself This phenomenon is a form of second degree block referred to as Mobitz I or Wenckebach.
Slide 27-

Second-Degree Heart Block: Mobitz I
Slide 28-

Mobitz II is another form of second-degree block Mobitz II occurs within the context of a basic rhythm when a P wave occurs but is not followed by a QRS. This is a more serious form of second-degree block as it occurs without warning The basic rhythm would be regular except for the periods of the block. These occur most often because there is block below the bundle of His The P to P interval is once again regular. The QRS response, because of the “dropped beat,” will appear irregular
Slide 29-

In second-degree type II block, notice that the P wave (4th bump) isn't followed by the QRS wave, because the ventricles weren't activated.
Slide 30-

Third-degree heart block Also called complete heart block, each sinus node impulse is completely interrupted in the A-V node or beyond, and the ventricles must generate their own impulse to contract. Depending on its cause, third-degree block may be transient (temporary) or permanent. When no impulses from the atria excite the ventricle, a situation of complete block exists
Slide 31-

Clearly this is the most serious form of heart block as the ventricles are now left on their own to beat Because they are capable of self-automaticity, a ventricular rhythm is present However, at a rate inherent to the ventricles the patient’s rhythm will significantly slow In addition, the effect of atrial kick is lost
