Generation and conduction of impulses in the heart as affected
Witryna5 lip 2024 · A reentry arrhythmia is a self-sustaining cardiac rhythm abnormality in which the action potential propagates in a manner analogous to a closed-loop circuit. It is a disorder of impulse conduction and is discrete from disorders of impulse generation such as automaticity or triggered activity. WitrynaAbnormal impulse formation can cause arrhythmias by the following two mechanisms: Increased or abnormal automaticity Triggered activity Increased or abnormal automaticity As discussed in Chapter 1 there are several structures in the heart that possess automaticity (i.e ability to depolarize spontaneously). These structures are as follows: green house by mercer brunch 二子玉川
Mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias: from automaticity to re …
Witryna1 gru 2002 · Abnormal impulse generations that can initiate cardiac arrhythmias are generally believed to originate from either automaticity or triggered activity . Triggered activity is so-called because unlike the spontaneous depolarisations of automaticity the impulse can only occur if it follows a previous action potential, i.e. it is said to be ... WitrynaThe initial cardiac impulse, produced by pacemaker cells, originates in the sinoatrial (SA) node at the intersection of the right atrium and the superior vena cava. This action potential is the trigger of every cardiac cycle, initiating the atrial then ventricular contractions; it is henceforth responsible for the rhythmic beating of the heart. Witryna13 lis 2024 · Conduction is how electrical impulses travel through your heart, which causes it to beat. Some conduction disorders can cause arrhythmias, or irregular … greenhouse by the sea
