Electrocardiography method of diagnosing ventricular ectopic activity as a predictor of life-threatening tachyarrhythmias
Abstract
In this review article based on Russian and international printed resources we highlight current perceptions of mechanisms, types and role of ventricular ectopic activity in the structure of heart beat disorder. Approximately 5 % of the population have been registered to suffer from ventricular arrhythmia. In some cases it shows no symptoms. In terms of clinical relevance ventricular arrhythmia can be either benign and not causing any discomfort to patients life or life threatening and leading to fatal heart beat disorders (ventricular flutter or fibrillation). Life threatening ventricular arrhythmia in most cases is linked to comorbidity in cardio-vascularsystem. Ventricular tachy-arrhythmia is often a predictor of a sudden cardiac death. It is sometimes enough to register ECG to diagnose ventricular arrhythmia. The nurse in department of functional diagnostics though should know the signs of ventricular ectopic activity and be able to react efficiently to the showing of this pathology.
