Parameters which Biocalculus monitors
Cardiac Arrhythmias
Cardiac arrhythmia is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular,too fast,or too slow .These include:
Sinus Tachycardia
- Heart Rate is more than 100 beats per minute
Sinus Bradycardia
- Heart Rate is below 60 beats per minute
Sinus Pause
- SA node ceases to generate electrical impulses and a gap occurs where a P-QRS-T would normally occur.
Premature Atrial Contraction
- PACs occur when another region of atria depolarizes before the SA node and triggers a premature beat
Premature Ventricular Contraction
- PVCs are premature heart beats that arising from ventricles of the heart.
Ventricular Tachycardia
- A type of fast irregular beats that arising from the ventricles of the heart.
Atrial Fibrillation
- Most common type of arrhythmia, which are irregular heart rhythms.It causes the heart to beat much faster.
