- A pace is any individual's step length, which depends on who is measuring, while any standard unit, such as a foot or a meter, has a fixed length that everyone agrees on (by buying rulers of that size), so that two people will give the same answer. Associated Topics: Middle School Definitions.

Abnormal Heart Rhythms and Pacemakers A pacemaker can sometimes correct the problem. A pacemaker is a small device that sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and rhythm. A pacemaker may also be used to treat fainting spells (syncope), congestive heart failure, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Pacemakers The Conduction System. Electrical impulses from your heart muscle (the myocardium) cause your heart to beat (contract). This electrical signal begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node, located at the top of the right atrium. When an electrical impulse is released from this natural pacemaker, it causes the atria to contract.

Medical Definition of Natural pacemaker The AV node is a major element in the cardiac conduction system that generates electrical impulses within the heart, conducts them throughout the muscle of the heart, stimulates the heart to contract and pump blood, and so controls the heart rate.

- Pacemaker facts*. 1  A pacemaker is a small device that's placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. 2  This device uses low-energy electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. 3  Pacemakers are used to treat arrhythmias.

heartbeat heartbeat. the cycle of contraction of the heart muscle; it begins with an electrical impulse in the sinoatrial node, which serves as the normal pacemaker for the heart. Heartbeat: The conduction system of the heart that is involved in the cycle of contraction. From Frazier et al., 2000.

pacemaker pacemaker pace·mak·er (pās'mā'kər) n. A part of the body, such as the specialized mass of cardiac muscle fibers of the sinoatrial node, that sets the pace or rhythm of physiological activity. Any of several usually miniaturized and surgically implanted electronic devices used to stimulate or regulate contractions of the heart muscle.

Narrative Techniques: Dialogue, Pacing, Description & Reflection These include dialogue, which means writing conversations; pacing, which means how fast your story unfolds; description, which simply means describing something (a person, a place, a feeling, a situation and more); and reflection, which means personal conclusions or explanations about your story.

Medical Definition of Natural pacemaker An electrical signal generated by the SA node moves from cell to cell, down through the heart, until it reaches the atrioventricular (AV) node, a cluster of cells situated in the center of the heart, between the atria and ventricles.

Heartbeat A heartbeat is a two-part pumping action that takes about a second. As blood collects in the upper chambers (the right and left atria), the heart's natural pacemaker (the SA node) sends out an electrical signal that causes the atria to contract.

Artificial cardiac pacemaker Transvenous pacing, when used for temporary pacing, is an alternative to transcutaneous pacing. A pacemaker wire is placed into a vein, under sterile conditions, and then passed into either the right atrium or right ventricle. The pacing wire is then connected to an external pacemaker outside the body.

External Non-Invasive Transcutaneous Heart Pacing view more. Transcutaneous pacing (also called external pacing) is a temporary means of pacing a patient’s heart during a medical emergency. It is accomplished by delivering pulses of electric current through the patient’s chest, which stimulates the heart to contract. The most common indication for transcutaneous pacing is an abnormally slow heart rate.

Pacemaker A pacemaker is a small device that's placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. This device uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. Pacemakers are used to treat arrhythmias (ah-RITH-me-ahs). Arrhythmias are problems with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. A heartbeat that's too fast is called tachycardia (TAK-ih-KAR-de-ah). A heartbeat that's too slow is called bradycardia (bray-de-KAR-de-ah). During an arrhythmia, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body.

Transcutaneous pacing Transcutaneous pacing Definition Transcutaneous Pacing (TCP) is a temporary means of pacing a patient’s heart during an emergency and stabilizing the patient until a more permanent means of pacing is achieved. It is accomplished by delivering pulses of electric current through the patient’s chest, stimulating the heart to contract.

- Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach, often abbreviated VT) refers to a rhythm that arises from the ventricles causing the heart to beat at a rate faster than 100 beats per minute. The ventricular rate is usually above 120 beats/min and may exceed 250 beats/min.

Medical Terminology Ch.9 artificial pacemaker. electronic device that stimulates impulse initiation within the heart. It is a small battery-operated device that helps the heart beat in a regular rhythm. Some are permanent (internal) and some are temporary (external). they can replace defective natural pacemaker or block pathway.

The Basics of Paced Rhythms 1 D: The pacemaker is capable of pacing both the atria and ventricles. 2  D: The pacemaker is capable of sensing intrinsic cardiac activity in both the atria and ventricles.  D: The pacemaker is capable of triggered pacing (rarely used) and inhibiting itself in response to sensed events.

Pacemakers and Pacing Pacemaker output generally stimulates the cavity of the right atrium and/or right ventricle (endocardial pacing). Alternatively, epicardial leads can be implanted surgically on to the heart's surface. The battery most commonly used in permanent pacers has a lifespan of five to nine years.

- Diaphragmatic/phrenic (D/P) nerve pacing is an alternative to mechanical ventilation for a select subgroup of. patients. D/P pacing, also referred to as phrenic pacing, phrenic nerve stimulation, diaphragm pacing, or. electrophrenic respiration, is the electrical stimulation of the diaphragm via the phrenic nerve, the major nerve. supply to the diaphragm that controls breathing. The two FDA approved D/P pacing systems are the Mark IV ™.

Transvenous pacing Transvenous pacing. Transvenous cardiac pacing, also called endocardial pacing, is a potentially life saving intervention used primarily to correct profound bradycardia. It can be used to treat symptomatic bradycardias that do not respond to transcutaneous pacing or to drug therapy.
