What is re entry ventricular arrhythmia?

A reentry arrhythmia is a self-sustaining cardiac rhythm abnormality in which the action potential propagates in a manner analogous to a closed-loop circuit. It is a disorder of impulse conduction and is discrete from disorders of impulse generation such as automaticity or triggered activity.

What is a re-entry circuit?

When does reentry occur?

Space debris is human-made and comes from objects that people launched into Earth orbit. It is usually moving parallel to the ground, at a speed of about 7 km/sec or 17,500 miles per hour. The reentry can occur at any time of the day.

What is AV nodal reentry?

Atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) is the most common type of supraventricular tachycardia. People with AVNRT have episodes of an irregularly fast heartbeat (more than 100 beats per minute) that often start and end suddenly.

Is wide complex tachycardia the same as V tach?

Regular wide-complex tachycardia can be either ventricular tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia. Ventricular tachycardia originates from the left ventricle, the left ventricular outflow tract, the right ventricle or the right ventricular outflow tract.

Why is ventricular tachycardia broad complex?

A broad QRS complex is either caused by the ventricular conducting system not working (bundle branch block) or the electrical circuit not involving the atrioventricular (AV) node correctly. Broad complex tachycardias may be ventricular or supraventricular in origin.

Is SVT wide or narrow complex?

Supraventricular tachycardias are usually narrow-complex tachycardias with a QRS interval of 100 ms or less on an electrocardiogram (ECG). Occasionally, they may show a wide QRS complex in the case of a pre-existing conduction delay, an aberrancy due to rate-related conduction delay or a bundle branch block.
