ROACH: What’s the difference between atrial fibrillation and premature ventricular contractions, aka PVCs (extra heartbeats)? -- M. ANSWER: Both AFib and PVCs are rhythm disturbances of the heart.

The Oklahoma City Thunder — who went 68-14 — finished the season outscoring teams by 12.9 points per game, smashing the previous mark that had stood for more than a half-century.

Let’s say bad weather made the course more challenging than usual. The Score Differential can adjust for that, too. There’s some math involved here. The good news is, you don’t have to do it.

Bigeminy, more precisely ventricular bigeminy, is a term most people probably haven’t heard of. Ventricular bigeminy is when every other beat is a PVC and alternates with regular beats.

A low magnesium level is another risk factor for PVCs and ventricular bigeminy, and there are case reports of the rhythm going away completely with magnesium. So, while we can't be sure whether ...

— L.R. ANSWER: Bigeminy, more precisely ventricular bigeminy, is a term most people probably haven’t heard of, but most people have heard of a premature ventricular contraction (PVC).

Answer: Bigeminy, more precisely ventricular bigeminy, is a term most people probably haven’t heard of, but most people have heard of a premature ventricular contraction (PVC).

As the authors clearly explain, their case concerned a form of supraventricular “pseudotachycardia” in which they established a differential diagnosis involving 2 conditions: atrial tachycardia ...

For ventricular resection, a person may need to stay in the hospital for about 1 week. The surgeon can provide more information about how long they expect the procedure itself to take, and what a ...

If you have bigeminy (bi-JEM-uh-nee), your heart doesn't beat in a normal pattern. After every routine beat, you have a beat that comes too early, or what's known as a premature ventricular ...

At 7 days, bigeminy PACs with a heart rate of 150–170 beats per minute was noted (Figure 2), which has correlated with the diagnosis of bigeminy PACs with block previously. In this ECG, the P wave of ...

Background: Frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), couplets (CPLTs) and episodes of ventricular tachycardia are extremely rare in the neonatal population. Limited information is available ...
