Table of Contents
Definition: A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia without cardiac electrical activity. Typically, this is accompanied by cessation of the pumping function of the heart.
Navigational Note: -
Atrial fibrillation Asymptomatic, intervention Non-urgent medical Symptomatic, urgent Life-threatening Death
not indicated intervention indicated intervention indicated; device consequences; embolus
(e.g., pacemaker); ablation; requiring urgent intervention
new onset
Definition: A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia without discernible P waves and an irregular ventricular response due to multiple reentry circuits. The rhythm disturbance
originates above the ventricles.
Navigational Note: -
Atrial flutter Asymptomatic, intervention Non-urgent medical Symptomatic, urgent Life-threatening Death
not indicated intervention indicated intervention indicated; device consequences; embolus
(e.g., pacemaker); ablation requiring urgent intervention
Definition: A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia with organized rhythmic atrial contractions with a rate of 200-300 beats per minute. The rhythm disturbance originates in the
atria.
Navigational Note: -

Definition: A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia with complete failure of atrial electrical impulse conduction through the AV node to the ventricles.

Definition: A disorder characterized by an infectious process involving the lips.
