Question
Chapter 19.4, Problem 2AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The characteristicof the sinus rhythm; causes of premature ventricular contraction, ectopic focus control of rhythm; how nodal rhythm differs from sinus rhythm; general term for any abnormal cardiac rhythm.
Introduction:
The h=hhh=eart undergoes a rhythmic cycle of contraction and relaxation. This rhythmic cycle makes the atrium and ventricles of the heart to fill and drain the blood in their chambers. This rhythmic cycle of heart is termed as systole and diastole. Cardiac rhythm is the outcome of several factors.
