The Role of Wearable Technology in Heart Health Wearable tech is designed to monitor physiological data and provide actionable insights to users. Detection of Irregular Heart Rhythms Devices such as the Apple Watch or Fitbit Sense can detect irregular heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation (AFib).
Then, the current flows to an area known as the bundle of His, which divides into two branches (LBB and RBB) and is the only physiological pathway connecting the atria with the ventricles. AFIB/AFL – atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter episodes. The left bundle and right bundle terminate in the Purkinje fibers.
I sent it to 2 of my ECG nerd colleagues with no clinical information whatsoever, who instantly said: "Looks like afib with subendocardial ischemia and right heart strain pattern." "I The ECG accurately reflects the physiologic state of the underlying myocardium, but there is always more than one possible etiology of that physiologic state.
AV synchrony and physiologic ventricular depolarization the hemodynamics improved. Lowering the back up rate (LRL) of the ICD/pacer allowed for an intrinsic rhythm with physiologic AV conduction and normal AV synchrony with resultant increase in stroke volume and cardiac outpt.
This case represents the same physiologic event as OMI in terms of the result on the myocardium, therefore with identical ECG features, however there may not be ACS! So you do care what the rhythm is, and you should be wondering: Am I being fooled into seeing ST elevations due to possible flutter waves?
The physiologic reason for this — is thought to be the result of momentarily increased circulation from mechanical contraction arising from the "sandwiched in" QRS complex. Taking Another LOOK at ECG #2: I will emphasize that there is a tremendous amount of artifact in ECG #2.
They measured QTc while patients were in Afib and then again after conversion, when they were in sinus rhythm. They found that Bazetts formula overestimated QTc in Afib while Fridericias formula was the most accurate. The RR interval was also a 10 second average. Malik et al.
Physiologic factors that impact stroke prevention therapy also change over time and can have important implications for proper medication dosing and patient safety. “AF is a lifelong condition and, thus, patient characteristics, risk factors, and net clinical benefit can and often will change over time.
