Her Apple Watch suddenly told her that she is in atrial fibrillation. Patients with healthy AV nodes who are not on AV nodal blockers and who are not hyperkalemic should have a rapid ventricular response if they have paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation. Baseline bradycardia in endurance athletes limits the use of ß-blockers.

Detection of Irregular Heart Rhythms Devices such as the Apple Watch or Fitbit Sense can detect irregular heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation (AFib). Abnormal readings can signal issues with circulation or lung function, prompting further investigation. Sleep Monitoring Quality sleep is essential for heart health.

Atrial fibrillation is also a predictor of worse outcomes in this case (Alborzi). Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging.

Use of drugs producing bradycardia like beta blockers in stages III and IV may precipitate low output state. Circulation. Stage IV is considered as advanced. Kumar V et al.

After 13 minutes of ALS resuscitation, pulses were palpated indicating a return of spontaneous circulation. Initial vitals show hypertension (175/85), Atrial Fibrillation with RVR as seen in Figure 1 , hypercapnia (99mmHg), and SPO2 of 100%. After 5 minutes post-ROSC, the atrial fibrillation converted to a sinus rhythm.

The rule of thumb is less accurate, and the risk is higher because a long QT in the presence of bradycardia ("pause dependent" Torsades) predisposes to Torsades. 6) Use a different rule of thumb for bradycardia : Manually approximate both the QT and the RR interval. 3) At heart rates below 60, far more caution is due.
