متن کاملSYMPOSIUM Cardiac Arrhythmias (Part 2) Hemodynamic Sequelae of Cardiac Arrhythmias
The hemodynamic consequences of cardiac arrhythmias depend on various factors, including the ventricular rate and the duration of the abnormal rate, the temporal relationship between atrial and ventricular activity, the sequence of ventricular activation, the functional state of the heart, the irregularity of the cycle length, associated drug therapy, the peripheral vascular vasomotor system, d...
