What are the non-pharmacological treatments? |
1) Regular pacemaker(2 leads). 2) By-ventricular pacemaker(3 leads) 3) Radio Frequency Abliation. |
|
|
What is the definition of pacemaker and when is used? |
1) Artificial device that electronically stimulates the myocardial to depolarize (Contraction). 2) Can be Temporary (outside connected to the chest)or Permanent. 3) In Patients with: a- Bradycardia. b- Tachycardia. c- Sick Sinus Syndrome. d- AV block. |
|
|
What are it's components? |
1) Post Generator (power source of the peacemaker made of littium batteries that last about 10 years) 2) Passing Leads such as acbles or wires. 3) Electro Tips. |
|
|
When is used the by-ventricular pacemaker, what components & how many leads it has? |
1) Patients with: a- Heart failure. b- Intra ventricular conduction delayed. 2) 3 leads: a- place in RA. pace at the same time. b- place in RV. pace at the same time. c- place in LV. 3) Components: a- Post generator. b- Electro tip. c- 3 passing leads. |

What is Radio Frequency Abliation? |
1) It is an Invasive procedure that may be used to treat Arrythmia on patients who haven't respond to arrythmia drugs or cardioversion. 2) Effective in Patients with: a- A-Fib. b- A-Flutter. c- Ventricular tachycardia. d- Wolff-Parkinson White-Syndrome. |
|
|
What are the drugs on Pharmacologic treatment? |
1) Quinadine = Supraventricular & Ventricular Arrythmia, A-Fib, A-Flutter, PVC, Supra Ventricular Tachycardia. 2) Procainamide = Supra Ventriculat Arrythmias. 3) Lidocaine = Supress Ventricular Arrythmias. 4) Propafenone = Slow conduction in all cardiac tissues. 5) Beta-Blockers = Slow down HR such as: a- Atropine = Blocks the vagal effect of the SA 7 AV nodes. b- Epinephrine = Patients with Bradycardia to increase CO. 6) Digoxin = Supra ventricular Tachycardia, A-Fib, A-Flutter, Specially patients with Heart failure. |
