Short QT syndrome

leads and associated with the highest level of risk for development of malignant arrhythmias.Type 3 is often associated with IVF storms. (21) Short-QT syndrome is described as a disorder characterized by abbreviated QT interval, ventricular and atrial arrhythmias,and sudden cardiac death (22) Recent studies supported an association between short QT syndrome and early repolarization. The aim of this study was to study the prevalence of ER and its relationship with the QTc interval in healthy subjects

Abstract Almost everyone who works in EMS has this one thing in common, the fear of the pediatric call. Due to those calls being few and far between, the skills needed for a pediatric call are rarely at their best. There are also some who don’t keep their pediatric skills as sharp as others, because of the low amount of calls they might run on kids. This paper will be focusing on cardiac arrests in children, and opening the reality of how common it is becoming. Everything from what causes it, what

(case or scenario) the cardiologist diagnosed T.G. with vasovagal syncope based on his history and physical. The pediatrician diagnosed a murmur and provided a list of differential diagnoses. The Cardiologist chose not to perform an EKG or do a long QT measurement. When reviewing syncopal algorithms one would have to question the cardiologists thought process of why these diagnostic components were missed when ruling out diffentials for T.G. Literature reviews suggest fainting is due to a sudden drop

Athletes with abnormal AV conduction characterized by an HV interval >90 ms or a His-Purkinje block should have pacemaker implantation. Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT): SVTs are not more common in athletes than in the general population of a similar age distribution, with the possible exception of atrial fibrillation (AF). Treatment of these SVTs with catheter ablation is likely to achieve a permanent cure and, in general, is preferable to lifelong therapy with pharmacological agents. Atrial

The echocardiography is currently the most commonly used imaging technique to diagnose various cardiovascular diseases especially Takotsubo syndrome. The reasons behind its popularity includes: its low risk non-invasive nature, simplicity, low cost, and easy equipment transportation. Additionally, there have been noticeable improvements in the imaging quality after the development of technological progress of transthoracic transducers and transesophageal echocardiography. Furthermore, early diagnosis

According to Wung et al. (2013), there are two types of inheritable cardiac disease; channelopathies such as Brugada, long QT syndrome and short QT syndrome, and cardiomyopathies such as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. While channelopathies may be identified by characteristic ECG irregularities, some of these disorders may not manifest typical symptoms in genetic carriers

TAKOTSUBO CARDIOMYOPATHY 1 Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Introduction and Background Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as broken heart syndrome or apical ballooning syndrome, was thought to have particularly affect men. Now it affects both elderly men and women—mostly women in their 60s+. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is generally perceived as a temporary psychological disorder which happens to affect the individual physiologically as well (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2011). Understanding Takotsubo cardiomyopathy

According to Wung et al.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder Degie Gelaw American Sentinel University Generalized Anxiety Disorder The sympathetic nervous system stimulates the body’s “fight-or-flight” response by releasing epinephrine and nor-epinephrine when a perceived threat or situation arises resulting in feeling anxious. When a body’s physiological response which is a normal phenomenon becomes exaggerated and is associated with a particular fear or situation, a person feels extremely threatened resulting
