sinus rhythm with a preserved ejection fraction Explanation: Sinus rhythm: The normal regular rhythm of the heart set by the natural pacemaker of the heart called the sinoatrial (or sinus) node. It is located in the wall of the right atrium (the right upper chamber of the heart). Normal cardiac impulses start there and are transmitted to the atria and down to the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart). http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=9741 Maintenance of sinus rhythm with synchronized atrioventricular sequential pacing may be crucial in permitting atrial augmentation of ventricular filling. Digoxin and other inotropic agents have no established place in these patients with relatively well preserved ejection fraction, and could, in principle, have an adverse effect in this group. http://www.thedoctorslounge.net/clinlounge/diseases/cardiolo... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q="preserved ejection... |
