ventricular premature complexes and idioventricular rhythm identification is important in the ICU ..they may run into arryhthmias..look over my seminar...
any queries...
AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), or atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, is a type of tachycardia (fast rhythm) of the heart. 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. It is more common in women than men (approximately 75% of cases occur in females). The main symptom is palpitations. Treatment may be with specific physical maneuvers, medication, or, rarely, synchronized cardioversion. Frequent attacks may require radiofrequency ablation, in which the abnormally conducting tissue in the heart is destroyed.
AVNRT occurs when a reentry circuit forms within or just next to the atrioventricular node. The circuit usually involves two anatomical pathways: the fast pathway and the slow pathway, which are both in the right atrium. The slow pathway (which is usually targeted for ablation) is located inferior and slightly posterior to the AV node, often following the anterior margin of the coronary sinus. The fast pathway is usually located just superior and posterior to the AV node. These pathways are formed from tissue that behaves very much like the AV node, and some authors regard them as part of the AV node.
The fast and slow pathways should not be confused with the accessory pathways that give rise to Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW syndrome) or atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT). In AVNRT, the fast and slow pathways are located within the right atrium close to or within the AV node and exhibit electrophysiologic properties similar to AV nodal tissue. Accessory pathways that give rise to WPW syndrome and AVRT are located in the atrioventricular valvular rings. They provide a direct connection between the atria and ventricles, and have electrophysiologic properties similar to ventricular myocardium.

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a broad complex tachycardia originating from a ventricular ectopic focus. It is defined as three or more ventricular extrasystoles in succession at a rate of more than 120 beats per minute (bpm). Accelerated idioventricular rhythm refers to ventricular rhythms with rates of 100-120 bpm
Atrioventricular blocks are related to delay in conduction of the AV node..
Their recognition is primarily by ECG, anatomical correlation is by EP study.
ST elevation is not always due to STEMI. Other causes to be kept in mind to prevent the undue complications of thrombolysis. wrong patient and wrong management
The electrocardiogram, a basic tool in cardiology has been developed two centuries ago. It was recorded by a giant machine at that time, which is now being recorded on a mobile. Such is the advancement in ECG, which is still the gold standard in diagnosis of VT .

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
3. case A 39-year-old lady presents to you with frequent palpitations lasting a few months, which are not associated with dizziness, syncope or angina. She has enjoyed good health and is not on any medication or herbal medicine. She is a non-smoker and has no known diabetes, hypertension or hypercholesterolaemia. Her menses is regular and physical examination is unremarkable other than a few premature beats. This is her ECG.
5. A diagnosis of VPC s have been made….. Is it benign ? Is it abnormal? Does it need therapy after absence of heart disease? Holter monitoring when is needed? When do you call VT ? Can you localise the origin of VPCs? How to differentiate from APC s. When there is a inferior wall MI what is its importance? A student on ECG read as VPC with R on T phenomenon ..what will the importance of the word? VPC s of ischemic heartdisease usually arise from ?
10. PREMATURE VENTRICULAR COMPLEXES Occur before the next expected normal sinus impulse. Not preceded by P waves. Wide QRS complex >0.12 sec (0.14sec)---below bundle of HIS. QRS is wide,slurred and notched. Direct muscle to muscle transmission. ST segment and T waves are discordant to QRS complex. QRS complex followed by a compensatory pause.
11. PVC s Common Increase with age. Causes: Anxiety Caffeine intake Aminophylline Epinephrine Isoproteronol Digitalis Valvular ,HTN,Ischemia, Acute MI Hypokalemia,hypomagnesemia,hypoxemia
12. PVCs They are called as ventricular extrasystoles. Unifocal--- arise from a single location in the ventricle, uniform and have identical configuration. Multifocal–two or more locations. Interpolated PVCs – inserted between two sinus impulses without altering the basic sinus rate…it is not followed by a pause. Fully compensatory pause--- does not discharge the sinus node prematurely…regularity of sinus impulse not altered– differentiates from premature atrial complex. If conducted retrogradely to the atria –less then full compensatory pause.. May suppress the SA node –more than full compensatory pause.
13. Sinus beat following a interpolated VPC s has a prolonged PR interval. Abnormal VPC S Multifocal and VPC s in pairs Unifocal abnormal in crops,bigeminy,>40 yrs ,assosciated cardiac disease. Interpolated extrasystoles—bradycardia.

18. PVCs Retrograde activation– leads to P wave formation –but may not be visible –buried in the PVCs R on T phenomenon---- early PVC striking the T wave of the previous complex…short coupling interval.. End diastolic PVC s --- if it occurs late in the diastole such that already P wave of the sinus impulse is formed…fusion complex..long coupling interval. Coupling interval – distance between the PVC s and the preceding QRS complex… Usually constant. Short coupling interval <0.4 sec. R on T phenomenon may trigger a potential arryhthmia..

21.
22. PVC s Bigeminy --- if every other complex on the strip is a PVCs. Trigeminy– if every third complex is a PVC. It is also trigeminy if every two PVCs are followed by a sinus impulse. Quadrigeminy– every fourth complex is a PVC. Paired PVC –couplets consecutively..
29. PVC s Right ventricular PVC Has a LBBB configuration. RV apex – LBBB + LAD. RV outflow --- LBBB + RAD RV inflow --- LBBB + normal axis. (tricuspid area). Just remember apex on left side,outflow on right side,inflow tricuspid valve in direction of lead II –normal axis.
30.
31.
32.
33. PVC s Left ventricular PVC s Anterosuperior area --- RBBB +RAD supplied by anterior fascicle of the LBB. Inferoposterior area – left posterior fascicle –RBBB +LAD.
34.
35. VPC s without obvious cardiovascular heart diseases have RV origin >LV origin. In with heart disease –LV origin Apex and base of ventricle– heart disease. LBB ---donot indicate cardiac disease.
36. Treatment Reversible cardiomyopathy –depressed LV function with bigeminy or freq non sustained VT B Blockers in presence of STEMI . Prognosis: No prognostic significance in absence of structural heart disease. Freq VPCs or runs of non sustained VT ---SCD in presence of heart disease. No reduction in risk of arryhthmic death by use of antiarryhthmic drugs Prophylactic pharmacotherapy c/I
37. VENTRICULAR PARASYSTOLES Independent ectopic impulse that competes with the sinus node as the pacemaker of the heart. Located in the atria,AV junction or the ventricles. Ventricular para systole is manifested when the sinus node fails. The cells are protected and cannot be reset by the sinus impulse. May or may not catch the ventricles depending upon the refractory period of the ventricles. May result in fusion beats.
38.
39. Consider as parasystole Coupling intervals are variable. Fusion complexes are present. Mathematically related. Longer are multiples of the shorter one..
44. Capture beat When interference dissosciation occurs between sinus rhythm and a faster subsidiary(ventricular or AV nodal rhythm),the mutual impedence or interference occurs within the AV node. The ventricular or AV nodal impulses cannot be conducted retrogradely---upper AV nodal refractoriness consequent to partial penetration of the sinus impulse to AV node. Sinus impulses cannot be conducted anterogradely to the ventricles,as a result of lower AV nodal refractoriness consequent to retrograde penetration of ventricular impulses to AV node.
45. Capture beat Two pacemakers discharge asynchronously. Sinus impulse occurs progressively later in relation to the AV nodal or ventricular discharge----p wave falls away from the QRS complex of the subsidiary rhythm Sinus impulse may reach the AV node when it is no longer refractory. Able to penetrate the AV node and be conducted to and activate the ventricles. Momentary activation of the ventricles by the sinus impulses in AV dissosciation is known as a ventricular capture beat. It is an early beat..preceding p wave to be present.
46. Capture beat When a tachycardia with bizzare QRS complexes is complicated by capture beats…..see the morphology of the captured beat. Capture beat has a normal or near normal narrow QRS configuration---the diagnosis of ectopic ventricular tachycardia is favoured. Capture beat resembles the bizarre QRS pattern of the tachycardia,a diagnosis of SVT with aberration is favoured. This because the course of activation of both the capturing and supraventricular ectopic impulse must be the same.
53. causes Can be seen in absence of structural heart disease Frequently seen in presence of acute MI Cocaine intoxication Acute myocarditis Digoxin intoxication Post operative cardiac surgery Sustained forms--- acute MI ,POST OP,hemodynamiccompromise,AVdissosciation
54. RVMI with proximal RCA occlusion has been more prone for bradyarryhthmias--------ventricular rhythm—AIVR ---hemodynamic compromise worsens Treatment atrialpacing,atropine. Overlap between AIVR and slow VT ---90-120 bpm Slow VT has to be differentiated.
55. answers 1. benign 2.not abnormal 3.no 4.frequent palpitations,syncope,chest pain 5. prsence of 3 0r more complexes,>100 bpm … 6.it is on outflow tract VPC with LAD. 7.absence of compensatory pause. 8.hypotension –atrial pacing required 9.risk of getting arryhthmia 10. left ventricle ---base and apex
58. Take home message VPC s may be in presence or absence of heart disease. Only abnormal VPCs are to be treated Prophylactic antiarryhthmic therapy is not indicated. Ventricular parasystole diagnosed by varying coupling intervals and fusion complexes B blockers can be given for VPC s in ischemia AIVR is a benign rhythm usually self limited arryhthmia Can be cause of hypotension in RVMI with RCA proximal occlusion. Capture beats morhology differentiate VT and SVT R on T phenomenon can cause arryhthmia Three consequetive VPC s >100 bpm is VT.
