An arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat that may be unusually fast (tachycardia) or unusually slow (bradycardia). It may be related to a previous heart condition (e.g., previous damage from a heart attack) or to other factors (e.g., caffeine, stress, medications). In the majority of cases, a skipped beat is not medically significant. The most serious arrhythmias, however, contribute to approximately 500,000 deaths in the United States each year according to the American Heart Association. Also, one type of arrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation) causes most of the 340,000 sudden cardiac deaths (from cardiac arrest) that occur each year."

They can cause the heart to pump less effectively. The heart has four chambers. The top two are the atria, and the lower two are the ventricles. Normally the heartbeat starts in the right atrium when a special group of cells sends an electrical signal. (These cells are called the sinoatrial or SA node, the sinus node or the heart's "pacemaker.") This signal spreads throughout the atria and to the atrioventricular (A-V) node. The A-V node connects to a group of fibers in the ventricles that conduct the electric signal. The impulse travels down these specialized fibers (the His-Purkinje system) to all parts of the ventricles. The electrical signal must follow this exact route for the heart to pump properly." http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4469 ****************************************************** Cardiac Arrhythmias Research and Education Foundation, Inc.: http://www.longqt.org/ ****************************************************** Pediatric (Children's) Reference, Cardiac Facilities: Arrhythmias: Pediatric Health Encyclopedia http://www.healthcentral.com/peds/top/001101.cfm ****************************************************** The Heart Institute for Children (THIC): "The Heart Institute for Children (THIC) specializes in all aspects of pediatric cardiac care, ranging from echocardiographic fetal diagnosis to the surgical management of the most complex cardiac anomalies. http://www.thic.com/ ****************************************************** ****************************************************** ****************************************************** To subscribe to our: Nurse Friendly Notes Newsletter: Send a blank e-mail to: nursefriendlynotes-subscribe@topica.com http://www.nursefriendly.com Nursing Jokes, Medical Humor, Jokes to make you laugh and smile all day.

After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses." Nurses Station P.O.
