Stress Test

It is known as stress test or treadmill test electrocardiographic medical examination which is generally used for diagnosis and assessment of heart failure or angina. Over the years, its use has expanded the use of this test but can not be performed on all patients suffering from heart diseases because it can pose some risks for the efforts involved in their implementation. To realize this, a static or ergonometric bicycle is used, following a methodology of progression overload thereof as a strong official protocol. The patient is monitored to control the test pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen consumption and electrocardiographic changes and clinical response to stress (pain, fatigue ...). ...

Sudden death

Sudden death is a sudden and natural death. The main cause of sudden death is cardiac arrest. Although there are likely to regain the patient by the cardiopulmonary resuscitation at times. It is estimated that 12% of natural deaths are sudden deaths. In patients with ischemic heart disease, sudden death is the most common form of death. Among infants and adults over 45 years there are more cases of MSC. It is also more common in men than in women.

Atrial fibrillation

AF is the most frequent arrhythmia in daily clinical practice with a high incidence of health in terms of social cost to the point of being considered a health epidemic, representing a very high volume of hospital admissions and increasing up to five times the potential risk of To suffer a stroke in the people who suffer it, therefore requiring in a very high percentage of oral anticoagulation cases. AF is a rapid flutter of the atria, generating a high number of electrical impulses that pass to the ventricles irregularly, producing the perception of a rapid and arrhythmic pulse. As a consequence of this arrhythmia, two other types of phenomena of enormous transcendence in the individual and potentially in society and in their surroundings occur in addition to the rapid and irregular pulse. On the one hand, the loss of normal and synchronous atrial contraction with the ventricles implies a significant reduction in the mechanical efficiency of the heart as a pump, contributing to a greater degree of fatigue and fatigue, and on the other hand, this atrial flutter allows the backflow of the heart. Blood in its interior, facilitating the blood coagulation and therefore the formation of thrombi in its interior that if they move to the circulatory torrent, can produce a stroke. However, although the atria is the one that suffers the problem, the initial origin of the onset of this heart rhythm disorder originates predominantly in the pulmonary veins. Patients with this cardiac rhythm disorder are usually born with muscle fibers that abnormally connect the pulmonary veins to the left atrium and are potentially activatable in response to a series of point stimuli or specific clinical conditions, modulated very importantly by the influence Of the autonomic nervous system, which is the visceral nervous system, that of the emotions, (which we can not control), playing this, a role modulator frequently in the abnormal electrical activity of the pulmonary veins that can at a specific moment activate electrically Anomalously and generate between 300 and 600 electric pulses per minute that literally "bombard" the left atrium, causing it to lose normal heart rate and initiating this flutter. ...

In addition, to analyze heart rate, you put a set of electrodes connected to an electrocardiograph for electrocardiograms constant during the time of performing the test. The individual will upset your heart rate to the point where eventually lose consciousness, emulating syncope. Thus, the detailed results of the test will start drug treatment to prevent the patient to return to fainting. ...

Valvular
