Fig. 15.1 Sinus rhythm with a junctional premature beat (J), which results in AV node refractoriness and block of the next sinus beat. *Subsequent non-conducted atrial impulse may be due…
Fig. 20.1 M-mode echocardiogram from fetus in sinus rhythm. Upper image demonstrates beam position through the atrium and ventricle. Small arrows mark atrial contractions, and arrowheads mark ventricular contraction. Note…
In this equation, R = the universal gas constant, T = absolute temperature, F = the Faraday constant, and X is the ion in question. As an example, the usual intracellular and extracellular concentration of potassium…
Fig. 8.1 The inner geometry of the right atrium showing the reentrant loop of a typical flutter circuit. Notice that the typical flutter circuit passes between the IVC and the…
