Syndrome (WPW Syndrome)

3.Heart Attack4.Ventricular Fibrillation

ARRHYTHMIAS

Define:

Irregular heart beat

Description:

Problem with the conducting fibers.

Can occur in

normal or tachycardia or

bradycardia heart beat

• Abnormal (extra) signals may occur

• Electrical signals may be blocked or

slowed

• Electrical signals travel in new or

different pathways through the heart

WPW SYNDROMEWolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

Define: Extra, abnormal electrical pathway

in the heartthat leads to periods of a very fast

heart beat(tachycardia).Description:Can causes by:

• Congenital heart disease

• Inherited disease

• Gene mutation

• Ebstein's anomaly

Normal pathway VS WPW syndrome pathway

HEART ATTACKDefine:

When there is a blood clot blocks the flow of

blood through a coronary artery

Description:

Interrupt blood flow that occurs during a heart

attack can damage or destroy a part of the heart

muscle

*also known as myocardial infarction

VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION

Define:

Lower chambers quiver and the heart can't pump any

blood, causing cardiac arrest

Description:

The heart's lower (pumping) chambers contract in a

rapid, unsynchronized way. (The ventricles “flutter”

rather than beat.) The heart pumps little or no blood

CONCLUSION1.Arrhythmias: irregular heart beat

2.Wolff’s-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW

Syndrome): extra abnormal pathway for

electrical impulse

3.Heart Attack: blood clot block in coronary arteries

4.Ventricular Fibrillation:

Ventricular quiver and cannot pump blood or

pump very little amount of blood
