Too fast, too slow, too ugly: dangerous dysrhythmias.

摘要

Continuous cardiac monitoring is used in many-different clinical settings, so staff members need a basic knowledge of cardiac rhythms no matter where they work. In this article, I'll review normal cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology, then describe cardiac rhythms that are too fast or too slow, or just plain ugly. I'll also discuss treatments for each significant dysrhythmia.
