-
flutter
abnormally rapid beating of the auricles of the heart (especially in a regular rhythm); can result in heart block
-
cantering rhythm, gallop rhythm
cardiac rhythm characterized by the presence of an extra sound; can indicate a heart abnormality
-
atrial fibrillation
fibrillation of the muscles of the atria of the heart
-
bradycardia
abnormally slow heartbeat
-
Adams-Stokes syndrome, Stokes-Adams syndrome, atrioventricular block, heart block
recurrent sudden attacks of unconsciousness caused by impaired conduction of the impulse that regulates the heartbeat
-
PVC, premature ventricular contraction
irregularity of cardiac rhythm; recurrent occurrences can be a precursor of ventricular fibrillation
-
tachycardia
abnormally rapid heartbeat (over 100 beats per minute)
-
ventricular fibrillation
fibrillation of heart muscles resulting in interference with rhythmic contractions of the ventricles and possibly leading to cardiac arrest
