Urinary tract produces urine, urine flows within the body through it, urine is stored within it and expelled out of the body through it.Urinary tract consists …
Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure usually done by interventional cardiologists by which some abnormal heart rhythm is corrected. In this procedure the area from which abnormal heart rhythm originates or the area where arrhythmia sustains are destroyed by using radio frequency ( heat ablation) or cryofreezing ( using cold), or the the path …
Electrical cardioversion is a procedure where a device called a defibrillator is used to give electric shock to the heart with some abnormal rhythm to restore normal (sinus) rhythm.Electrical cardioversion is usually used to treat atrial fibrillation. If rhythm control drugs fail to work or cause side effects or they stop working then Electrical cardioversion may …
Normal heart beats in a normal (sinus) rhythm. In cardiac arrhythmia this normal rhythm of heart beat is lost.Human heart consists of (A) two upper chambers named right atrium and left atrium separated by a septum which is called interatrial septum .This interatrial septum prevents mixing of blood between left and right atrium, (B) two lower chambers …
