  2. Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia-induced_cardio...

    [1] [5] People with TIC may have symptoms associated with heart failure (e.g. shortness of breath or ankle swelling) and/or symptoms related to the tachycardia or arrhythmia (e.g. palpitations). [1] [2] Though atrial fibrillation is the most common cause of TIC, several tachycardias and arrhythmias have been associated with the disease. [5] [1]

  3. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

    Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14] Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [15]

  4. Cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomyopathy

    Cardiomyopathy is a group of primary diseases of the heart muscle. [1] Early on there may be few or no symptoms. [1] As the disease worsens, shortness of breath, feeling tired, and swelling of the legs may occur, due to the onset of heart failure. [1]

  5. Dilated cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilated_cardiomyopathy

    The electrocardiogram often shows sinus tachycardia or atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, left atrial enlargement, and sometimes intraventricular conduction defects and low voltage. When left bundle-branch block (LBBB) is accompanied by right axis deviation (RAD), the rare combination is considered to be highly suggestive of dilated ...

  6. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy

    In the thick myofilaments of the heart tissue, the predominant gene mutations occur in “myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3)” and “myosin heavy chain (MYH7).” Myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, embolic events, and/or congestive heart failure are all possible outcomes of this condition.

  7. Acute decompensated heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_decompensated_heart...

    Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a sudden worsening of the signs and symptoms of heart failure, which typically includes difficulty breathing , leg or feet swelling, and fatigue. [1] ADHF is a common and potentially serious cause of acute respiratory distress. The condition is caused by severe congestion of multiple organs by fluid ...

  8. HHS can cause cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (Afib), which can in turn lead to a stroke. The researchers divided the mice into three groups: control group

  9. Jugular venous pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugular_venous_pressure

    The peak of the 'a' wave demarcates the end of atrial systole. The x descent follows the 'a' wave and corresponds to atrial relaxation and rapid atrial filling due to low pressure. The c wave corresponds to right ventricular contraction causing the closed tricuspid valve to bulge towards the right atrium during RV isovolumetric contraction.
