Mechanism of arrythmia
Disorder Experimental Examples Clinical examples
Disorders of Impulse Formation
Automaticity
Normal automaticity Normal in vivo or in vitro in SA nodal, AV nodal, and Purkinje cells Sinus tachycardia or bradycardia inappropriate for the clinical situation; possibly
ventricular parasystole
Abnormal automaticity Depolarization-induced automaticity in Purkinje myocytes Accelerated ventricular rhythms after myocardial infarction
Triggered Activity
EADs Drugs (sotalol, N -acetylprocainamide, terfenadine, erythromycin), cesium, barium, low
[K + ] o
Acquired LQTS and associated ventricular arrhythmias
DADs Gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding RyR2 Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia; atrial ectopic beats
Disorders of Impulse Conduction
Block and Reentry
Bidirectional or unidirectional without reentry SA, AV, bundle branch, Purkinje muscle Sinoatrial, AV, bundle branch block
Unidirectional block with reentry AV node, Purkinje-muscle junction, infarcted myocardium Reciprocating tachycardia in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, AV nodal reentry
tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia caused by bundle branch reentry
Combined Disorders
Interactions between automatic foci Depolarizing or hyperpolarizing subthreshold stimuli speed or slow the automatic discharge
rate
Modulated parasystole
Interactions between automaticity and conduction Deceleration-dependent block, overdrive suppression of conduction, entrance and exit block Similar to experimental
RHYTHM
Arrythmia
• Abnormal rate/minute
:Tachycardia or Bradycardia with
or without
• Abnormal morphology of P or
QRS
Classification cardiac arrythmia
Description Effect
RATE TACHY OR BRADY
RHYTHM REGULAR OR IRREGULAR
SITE SUPRAVENTRICULAR OR VENTRICULAR
MORPHOLOGY OF QRS NARROW OR WIDE
Arrythmia-I.pptx
Why does arrythmia occurs
• Impulse formation disorder
• Automaticity
• Trigger Activity
• Impulse conduction disorder
• Combined Impulse formation and conduction disorder
Arrythmia-I.pptx
When QRS is wide or narrow during tachy
• Narrow :QRS width < 120 milli sec
• Wide :QRS width >120 milli sec
• When the depolarization current propagates directly through the
ventricular muscle ,it is wide because of the slow conduction
• RBBB: RV is activated direct propagation of current through RV
muscle
• LBBB : LV is activated direct propagation of current through LV muscle
SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCRDIA
• HR > 100/bpm
• Atrial and/or ventricular
• The mechanism of which involves tissue from the His bundle or above
Supraventricular Arrhythmia Types
• Atrial Premature Complexes or Ectopic Beats
• Sinus tachycardias
• Physiological
• Inappropriate
• Postural orthostatic (POTS)
• SA node re-entrant tachy (SNRT)
• Atrial Tachycardias :Focal and multifocal
• Atrial flutter (Clock and counter clock)
• Atrial Fibrillation
• AV junctional tachycardia
• AVNRT (Typical and Atypical)
• Accessory pathway mediated tachy (Ortho and concealed )
Narrow vs wide QRS tachy
Narrow
• Most of the SVT except some
fascicular VT
Wide
 Ventricular tachycardia
 SVT with bundle branch aberrancy
o Rate-related/Pre-existing/Antiarrhythmic induced
(e.g., flecainide)/Metabolic derangement (e.g.,
hyperkalaemia)
 Accessory pathway related
o Antidromic tachycardia/Preexcited tachycardia
(atrial tachycardia or AVNRT with bystander
accessory pathway)
 Rapid ventricular pacing
Regular narrow complex tachycardia
Favor Supraventricular Tachycardia Favor Ventricular Tachycardia
Initiation with a premature P wave Initiation with a premature QRS complex
Tachycardia complexes identical to those in resting rhythm Tachycardia beats identical to PVCs during sinus rhythm
“Long-short” sequence preceding initiation “Short-long” sequence preceding initiation
Changes in the P-P interval preceding changes in the R-R interval Changes in the R-R interval preceding changes in the P-P interval
QRS contours consistent with aberrant conduction (V 1 , V 6 ) QRS contours inconsistent with aberrant conduction (V 1 , V 6 )
Slowing or termination with vagal maneuvers AV dissociation or other non-1:1 AV relationship
Onset of the QRS to its peak (positive or negative) <50 msec Onset of the QRS to its peak (positive or negative) ≥50 msec
Fusion beats, capture beats
QRS duration ≤0.14 sec QRS duration >0.14 sec
Normal QRS axis (0–+90 degrees) Left-axis deviation (especially −90–180 degrees)
Concordant R-wave progression pattern
Contralateral bundle branch block pattern from the resting rhythm
Initial R, q, or r >40 msec or notched Q in aVR
Absence of an “rS” complex in any precordial lead
Atrial
Fibrillation
• Supraventricular arrhythmia
• Electrocardiographically by low-
amplitude baseline oscillations
(fibrillatory or f waves from the
fibrillating atria)
• Irregularly irregular ventricular
rhythm
• The f waves, 300 to 600 beats/min,
are variable in amplitude, shape,
and timing
• Atrial flutter waves have a rate of
250 to 350 beats/min and are
constant in timing and morphology
INVESTIGATION TO DIAGNOSE SVT
• HISTORY
• CLINICAL PRESENTATION
• ECG
• HOLTER
• ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY STUDY
• ELECTRO ANATOMICAL MAPPING
ELECTRO ANATOMICAL MAPPING
• A color-coded time scale of
activation
• Red :earliest
• Purple: latest
TREATMENT OF SVT
• COUNSELLING
• SYMPATHETIC OR PARASYMPATHETIC MODULATION
• PHYSICAL MANEUVER
• MEDICATIONS
• ANTI ARRYTHMIC MEDICATION
• CARDIOVERSION
• RADIO FREQUENCY ABALATION/CRYO ABLATION
• Preventing or reducing complications
• ORAL ANTI-COAGULATION
• LAA APPENDAGE CLOSURE
