Mechanisms of tachyarrhythmias

Mechanisms of tachyarrhythmias


About

In this microlearning, we will explore the pathophysiological foundations of SVT, focusing on the pathophysiological basis of the re-entry, triggered activity, and abnormal automaticity mechanisms of tachyarrhythmias. You’ll uncover key cellular and electrical processes that drive these disruptions in normal cardiac rhythm. By applying this knowledge, you’ll enhance your skills in differential diagnosis and initial management, equipping you to make a meaningful impact in out-of-hospital care settings.
