An arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat that may be unusually fast (tachycardia) or unusually slow (bradycardia). It may be related to a previous heart condition (e.g., previous damage from a heart attack) or to other factors (e.g., caffeine, stress, medications). In the majority of cases, a skipped beat is not medically significant. The most serious arrhythmias, however, contribute to approximately 500,000 deaths in the United States each year according to the American Heart Association. Also, one type of arrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation) causes most of the 340,000 sudden cardiac deaths (from cardiac arrest) that occur each year."

They can cause the heart to pump less effectively. The heart has four chambers. The top two are the atria, and the lower two are the ventricles. Normally the heartbeat starts in the right atrium when a special group of cells sends an electrical signal. (These cells are called the sinoatrial or SA node, the sinus node or the heart's "pacemaker.") This signal spreads throughout the atria and to the atrioventricular (A-V) node. The A-V node connects to a group of fibers in the ventricles that conduct the electric signal. The impulse travels down these specialized fibers (the His-Purkinje system) to all parts of the ventricles. The electrical signal must follow this exact route for the heart to pump properly." http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4469 ****************************************************** Cardiac Arrhythmias Research and Education Foundation, Inc.: http://www.longqt.org/ ****************************************************** Pediatric (Children's) Reference, Cardiac Facilities: Arrhythmias: Pediatric Health Encyclopedia http://www.healthcentral.com/peds/top/001101.cfm ****************************************************** The Heart Institute for Children (THIC): "The Heart Institute for Children (THIC) specializes in all aspects of pediatric cardiac care, ranging from echocardiographic fetal diagnosis to the surgical management of the most complex cardiac anomalies. http://www.thic.com/ ****************************************************** ****************************************************** Follow us on: Blogger: http://4nursing.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.nursefriendly.com/facebook Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nursefriendly Nursing Entrepreneurs, Nurses In Business, http://nursingentrepreneurs.ning.com/ Twitter! http://www.nursefriendly.com/twitter StumbleUpon, http://www.nursefriendly.com/stumbleupon ****************************************************** If your website is not listed here, we encourage you to submit it: Add Your Website/URL.
