Cosa è il Trigeminismo?
trigeminismo s. m. [der. di trigemino, nel sign. 3]. – In cardiologia, varietà di aritmia dovuta a extrasistoli che compaiono a intervalli regolari: di solito una extrasistole dopo due pulsazioni normali o, più raramente, due extrasistoli dopo ogni pulsazione regolare.
What is the difference between ventricular bigeminy and atrial bigeminy?
- For example, in ventricular bigeminy, a sinus beat is shortly followed by a premature ventricular contraction (PVC), a pause, another normal beat, and then another PVC. In atrial bigeminy, the other "twin" is a premature atrial contraction (PAC).
What is bigeminy and what causes it?
- (June 2014) Bigeminy is a heart rhythm problem in which there is a continuous alternation of long and short heart beats. Most often this is due to ectopic beats occurring so frequently that there is one after each sinus beat. The two beats are figuratively two twins (hence bi- + gemini).
What is bigeminy heart rhythm problem?
- Bigeminy is a heart rhythm problem in which there are repeated rhythms heart beats, one long and one shorter. Most often this is due to ectopic beats, or extra beats, occurring so frequently that there is one after each sinus beat, or normal rhythm beat.
What is the difference between bigeminal and occasional heart beats?
- There can be similar patterns depending on the frequency of abnormal beats. If every other beat is abnormal, it is described as bigeminal. If every third beat is aberrant, it is trigeminal; every fourth would be quadrigeminal. Typically, if every fifth or more beat is abnormal, the aberrant beat would be termed occasional.
