Alerts clinicians to recognize and act promptly on arrhythmic emergencies; leaves open the need for updated prospective validation of protocols.
THE term "cardiac arrhythmia" indicates that an irregularity of heart-beat is present. Many states of disordered heart-beat, however, are associated with an entirely regular rhythm, for example paroxysmal atrial tachycardia. In the description that follows I propose to limit myself to cardiac arrhythmias presenting as an emergency requiring prompt recognition and immediate action. This will be preceded by a short account of the normal conduction pathway and the etiology of cardiac arrhythmias.
