• During atrial tachycardia, an electrical impulse outside the sinus node fires repeatedly, in a circular electrical pathway. Electricity circles the atria again and again, causing the upper chambers to contract rapidly. This results in rapid conduction through the AV node to the lower chambers resulting in a rapid heart rate

AV Re-entry Tachycardia (AVRT) and/or Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome (WPW) In AVRT an extra electrical pathway exists that bypasses the normal conduction system. The pathway directly connects the atria (top chambers of the heart) to the ventricles (the bottom chambers of the heart). This extra pathway is known as an accessory pathway.

the electrical impulse does not fade out as with the normal heartbeat but continues to move in a rapid circle within the conduction system. This is due to an extra electrical pathway which can form a short circuit within the heart’s conduction system. SVT is usually a rapid, regular rhythm. The most common

The second is an electrical circuit made of specialized muscle cells that ensures that the heart beats fast enough by sending rapid electrical signals to the rest of the heart muscle.

Under normally conditions the cells that pace the heart are located at the top of the right atrium. This piece of tissue is called the Sinoatrial node (SA node) or the pacemaker from these pacemaker cells the action potentials spread across the heart along a conduction pathway Conduction system for the spread of electrical activity across the heart

Cardiac action potential results from a series of changes in cell permeability to sodium, calcium and potassium ions. Following electrical activation of the cell, a sudden increase in sodium per-meability causes a rapid infl ux of sodium ions into the cell. This is followed by a sustained infl ux of calcium ions.

the heart stops beating suddenly and unexpectedly due to a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system. The cause of SCA is a life-threatening abnormal rhythm; an arrhythmia. The most common cause of SCA is ventricular fibrillation (VF). When in VF, the heart’s rhythm is so chaotic (called ‘fibrillating’), that the heart trembles and

Very late accessory pathway conduction can recur after initially successful ablation. Heart failure can be a consequence of tachycardia or dyssynchrony from manifest preexcitation, but rarely—as this case demonstrates—may also be from atrial ectopy from concealed accessory pathway conduction. Definitive ablation is the recommended treatment

During normal rhythm, the electrical impulse that activates the heart starts in the sinus node (natural pacemaker of the heart) and spreads through the atrium towards the AV node (electrical conduction pathway linking the atrium to the ventricle). The impulse passes through the AV node and down into the ventricles, leading to

The heartbeat is normally begun in cells of the sinoatrial (SA), or sinus, node which is located in the high lateral right atrium where it adjoins the superior vena cava (embryonic sinus venosus region) (Fig. II-2). Blood supply is from the right coronary artery in 55% of cases, the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery in 45%.

There is a very specific conduction pathway that a depolarization must follow, deviations or alterations in this pathway can be fatal. Any abnormal depolarization in the cells of the heart is called an AHHRYTHMIA . Exercise 2.

the heart has its own electrical conduction system. In its simplest form, this is made up of two specialised structures or nodes and conduction pathways or bundles, all of which contain conduction cells that transmit electrical impulses (see diagram).

The electrical impulse begins at the SA node, located in the right atrium. The electrical activity spreads through the walls of the atria and causes them to contract. The atria and ventricles work together, alternately contracting and relaxing to pump blood through the heart. The electrical system of the heart is the power source that makes ...
