  2. Supraventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraventricular_tachycardia

    Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is an umbrella term for fast heart rhythms arising from the upper part of the heart. [2] This is in contrast to the other group of fast heart rhythms – ventricular tachycardia , which start within the lower chambers of the heart . [ 2 ]

  3. Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxysmal...

    Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a type of supraventricular tachycardia, named for its intermittent episodes of abrupt onset and termination. [3] [6] Often people have no symptoms. [1] Otherwise symptoms may include palpitations, feeling lightheaded, sweating, shortness of breath, and chest pain. [2] The cause is not known. [3]

  4. Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_sleep...

    The observed effects on memory retention the next day were similar to those obtained from people who had received no sleep. [49] Sleep deprivation may affect memory by interfering with neuroplasticity as measured by long-term potentiation in the hippocampus.

  5. Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_reentrant...

    Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT), or atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia, is a type of heart arrhythmia with an abnormally fast rhythm (tachycardia); it is classified as a type of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).

  6. AV nodal reentrant tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV_nodal_reentrant_tachycardia

    AV-nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a type of abnormal fast heart rhythm. It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), meaning that it originates from a location within the heart above the bundle of His. AV nodal reentrant tachycardia is the most common regular supraventricular tachycardia.

    Other studies have been also looking at the specific effects of different stages of sleep on different types of memory. For example, it has been found that sleep deprivation does not significantly affect recognition of faces, but can produce a significant impairment of temporal memory (discriminating which face belonged to which set shown).

  8. Tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia

    Any narrow complex tachycardia combined with a problem with the conduction system of the heart, often termed "supraventricular tachycardia with aberrancy" A narrow complex tachycardia with an accessory conduction pathway, often termed "supraventricular tachycardia with pre-excitation" (e.g. Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome)

  9. Permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_junctional...

    It is a supraventricular tachycardia, and a cause of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT). PJRT can cause chronic tachycardia that, untreated, leads to cardiomyopathy . The cause is an accessory pathway in the heart which conducts from the ventricles back to the atria .
