Atrial Fibrillation/Atrial Flutter

  Atrial Fibrillation  Atrial Flutter Atrial Fibrillation   (Afib) Afib stands for atrial Fibrillation (AF) Atrial Fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart beat and is a major cause of stroke.  Atrial Fibrillation is an irregularly irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm that begins in heart upper chambers (Atria). in which the upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat out of coordination with the lower chambers of the heart (ventricle). ATRIAL FIBRILLATION FINDINGS ON ECG Findings Irregularly irregular QRS Complex P wave absent / no visible P wave present Heart beat range (100bpm - 160bpm) Types of Atrial Fibrillation There are three main types of atrial fibrillation.... Paroxysmal atrial Fibrillation Persistent atrial fibrillation Long standing persistent atrial fibrillation Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation It's episodes occurs less than one week and usually stops on its own without treatment.

Vitamins And Their Diseases

  VITAMINS   Vitamin was invented by Sir F.G Hopkins. The term vitamin was coined by Funk. Vitamins are organic compound required in minute quantities. No Calorie is obtained from it, but it is very important in regulating chemical reactions in metabolism of the body. On the basis of solubility, vitamins are of two types :- Fat Soluble Vitamins :-  K, E, D, A Water Soluble Vitamins :-  B and C Vitamins and their Chemical name  Vitamins                  Chemical name         A.                                Retinol        B1.                               Thiamine       B2.                              Riboflavin        B3.                         Nicotinamide/Niacin          B5.                         Pantothenic acid       B6.                               Pyridoxine        B7.                               Biotin       B11.                              Folic acid        B12.                       Cynocobalamine        B9.                                 Folic acid         C.
