Arrhythmia

Track 3: Arrhythmia

Cardiac arrhythmia means irregular heart beat or heart rhythm where muscles of heart contract in a coordinated fashion to insure that blood is been efficiently pumped into the arteries and the extra heart beat are due to premature atrial contraction and premature ventricular contraction. The electrical impulses are responsible for arrhythmia condition. The Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPW) is one of the disorders of electrical system of the heart which are commonly referred to as pre-excitation syndromes which is caused by the presence of an abnormal accessory electrical conduction pathways between the atria and ventricles. Treatments may include physical maneuvers, medications, electrical conversion, electro-or cryo-cautery. Arrhythmia can be managed from various ways such as SCA risk assessments, non-invasive techniques, clinical electrophysiology are some clinical techniques and epidemiology of cardiac arrhythmia.
