🗑
Arrhythmia   show
🗑
Atherosclerosis   show
🗑
show Complete absence of heart electrical activity.  
🗑
Atrium   show
🗑
show Slow heart rate, less than 60 beats/min.  
🗑
show A state in which the heart fails to generate an effective and detectable blood flow; pulses are not palpable in cardiac arrest, even if muscular and electrical activity continues in the heart.  
🗑
Cardiogenic shock   show
🗑
show A disorder in which the heart loses part of its ability to effectively pump blood, usually as a result of damage to the heart muscle and usually resulting in a backup of fluid into the lungs.  
🗑

🗑
Syncope   show
🗑
Tachycardia   show
🗑
Ventricle   show
🗑
show Disorganized, ineffective twitching of the ventricles, resulting in no blood flow and a state of cardiac arrest.  
🗑
show Rapid heart rhythm in which the electrical impulse begins in the ventricle (instead of the atrium), which may result in inadequate blood flow and eventually deteriorate into cardiac arrest.  
🗑
