PULSELESS ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY Pulseless electrical activity refers to a cardiac arrest situation in which a heart rhythm is observed on the electrocardiogram that should be producing a pulse but is not. Under normal circumstances, electrical activation of the cardiac muscle cells precedes mechanical contraction of the heart. Pulseless electrical activity is also referred to as PEA or, by the older term, electromechanical dissociation. Pulseless electrical activity is the clinical condition characterized

conduction of electricity in the heart that causes abnormal heart rhythms. There are a number of arrhythmias but not all of them are treated with defibrillation. The only “shockable” arrhythmias are pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Both of these arrhythmias may cause cardiac arrest. Ventricular tachycardia is the fast, regular beating of the ventricles. During this arrhythmia, there is decreased blood that is pumped through the circulation because there is also a little

and gave them an unspeakable pleasure of achievement. 31 yrs old Intisar Kareem Naser from Iraq had an episode of minor Cardiac stroke along with seizures and transient weakness of the left hand. The diagnosis revealed that she was having a 25 mm Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) with transient Ischemic attack and Paradoxical embolism. She was advised to undergo the ASD closure procedure in Iraq. But, the challenging part was that she was into her third month of pregnancy and the operation could prove fatal

The heart and its functions Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is also known called “a hole in the heart.” The defect presents a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the upper chambers of the heart. The hole can be a variety of sizes, and it is possible for the hole to close naturally or through surgical intervention. Many times babies born with this defect do not exhibit signs and symptoms. However larger untreated holes in babies may cause lung and respiratory infections, fatigue during feedings,

I come to find out later that night that my son was born with 2 large holes in his heart called atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD). ASDs and VSDs allow blood to pass from the left side of the heart to the right side. So, oxygen rich blood mixes with oxygen poor blood. As a result, some oxygen rich blood is pumped to the
