ASD-Atrial Septal Defect
... An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect. It is present at birth. This type of defect is a hole in the wall (septum) between the right and left atria. This hole allows blood to flow across from the left side, where the pressure is high, to the right side, where the pressure is lowe ...

Catheter Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias Other Than Atrial Fibrillation
... V-Fib occurs if disorganized electrical signals make the ventricles quiver instead of pump normally. Without the ventricles pumping blood to the body, sudden cardiac arrest and death can occur within a few minutes. V-Fib is a medical emergency that must be treated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation ...

A rare cause of neonatal bradycardia: Blocked atrial bigeminal beat
... heart and its conduction system (1). Premature atrial contractions (PACs), are a rare cause of bradycardia. A slow heart rate may occur in that the sinus node discharges a PAC that’s blocked before causing the atria to contract (2,3). Herein, we report a newborn with frequent premature atrial contra ...

... QRS Duration: Ventricular depolarization. Regular duration is no longer than 120 milliseconds. The QRS duration is measured from the start of Q wave to the end of S wave. It represents the duration of ventricle depolarization. Normal duration is from 80 ~ 120 milliseconds. If duration is longer, it ...
