Overview of Tachyarrhythmias and Bradyarrhythmias | Chapter 6 | Medicine Essentials in Clinical Practice

This abstract emphasizes the clinical significance of Arrhythmias, their diagnostic challenges, and the need for tailored therapeutic approaches to improve the quality of life and prognosis in affected patients. Tachyarrhythmias, a class of cardiac arrhythmias characterized by abnormally rapid heart rates, represent a significant subset of cardiovascular disorders. They are broadly categorized into supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, originating above the ventricles, and ventricular tachyarrhythmias, arising from the ventricular myocardium. Common supraventricular types include atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, while ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation dominate the ventricular group. Bradyarrhythmias, defined as abnormally slow heart rhythms with a heart rate below 60 beats per minute, represent a critical subset of arrhythmias with the potential to significantly impair cardiac output and systemic perfusion. These disorders arise from dysfunctions in the sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, or conduction pathways and can be classified into sinus node dysfunction, AV block, and atrioventricular dissociation.

Study on Left Ventricular Pacing: A Desperate Lifesaving Measure in Emergency Situation | Chapter 4 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 5

 Transcutaneous or transvenous pacing of the right ventricle is routinely performed in the cath lab for patients with symptomatic bradycardia or complete heart block. Because it is one of the most important lifesaving interventions in cardiology, temporary transcutaneous or transvenous pacing is often the first intervention taught to cardiologists and intensivists. However, an increasing number of patients are being admitted with multiple comorbidities, critical conditions, and difficult vascular access. The purpose of this study is to describe a patient who underwent coronary angiography with difficult venous access, tricuspid regurgitation, and a displaced right ventricular pacemaker temporary lead and was treated with emergent nonconventional left ventricular pacing.
