Cardiac supplies

Antiarrhythmic (medicine)

Medical devices; Cardiac supplies

A drug that prevents an abnormal heart rhythm from occurring. These drugs help the heart beat more regularly.

Atrial lead

Medical devices; Cardiac supplies

A lead designed for use in the atrium; it may be endocardial (within the heart) or epicardial (attached outside the heart).

Atrioventricular (A-V) block

Medical devices; Cardiac supplies

A partial or total disruption of the conduction of electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles.

Atrioventricular (A-V) node

Medical devices; Cardiac supplies

A cluster of cells located in the wall between the right and left atria, just above the ventricles. This part of the heart's electrical pathway helps carry signals from the atria to the ventricles.

Atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT)

Medical devices; Cardiac supplies

A type of supraventricular tachycardias (SVT). Accounts for about 60% of all fast heart rates that start in the upper part of the heart. AVNRT occurs when the A-V node has an extra electrical pathway ...

Atrioventricular (A-V) synchrony

Medical devices; Cardiac supplies

The normal time sequence for an atrial contraction followed, after a fraction of a second, by a ventricular contraction.

Atrioventricular (A-V) valves

Medical devices; Cardiac supplies

The two valves, one in each side of the heart, between the atria and ventricles. The tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart, and the mitral value is located on the left side.
