|---|---|
| AIVR | accelerated idioventricular rhythm |
| APIVR | artificial pacemaker-induced ventricular rhythm |
| AVJR | atrioventricular junction rhythm |
| AVR | accelerated ventricular rhythm; antiviral regulator; aortic valve replacement |
| pendulum rhythm | A condition in which the cadence of the heart sounds resembles that of the foetus, the first and second sounds becoming alike and evenly spaced; a sign of serious myocardial disease. Synonym: pendulum rhythm, tic-tac rhythm, tic-tac sounds. Origin: embryo-+ G. Kardia, heart (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| reversed reciprocal rhythm | A cardiac arrhythmia in which a normal sinus impulse, before reaching the ventricles, is reflected backward to the atria; thus in the electrocardiogram a ventricular complex is sandwiched between a normal sinus P wave and a retrograde P wave; if the dysrhythmia continues, subsequent cycles are similar to those of reciprocating rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rhythm | <cardiology> The regularity of the heartbeat. Can be assessed by taking the pulse. (23 Aug 1998) |
| circadian rhythm | The regular recurrence, in cycles of about 24 hours, of biological processes or activities, such as sensitivity to drugs and stimuli, hormone secretion, sleeping, feeding, etc. This rhythm seems to be set by a 'biological clock' which seems to be set by recurring daylight and darkness. (12 Dec 1998) |
| circus rhythm | A contraction or excitation wave traveling continuously in circular fashion around a ring of muscle or through the wall of the heart. Synonym: circus rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary nodal rhythm | Formerly applied by some authorities to the electrocardiographic pattern of normal upright P waves in leads I and II with a short P-R interval. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary sinus rhythm | An ectopic atrial rhythm supposedly originating from a pacemaker at the mouth of the coronary sinus; recognised in the electrocardiogram by P-waves that are inverted in leads II, III, and a VI with a normal or prolonged P-R interval; an ectopic ("lower") atrial rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coupled rhythm | That cardiac rhythm when each beat of the dominant rhythm (sinus or other) is followed by a premature beat, with the result that the heartbeats occur in pairs (bigeminy). Synonym: coupled rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus rhythm | The normal regular cardiac rhythm stimulated by the sinoatrial node. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nodal rhythm | The cardiac rhythm when the heart is controlled by the A-V junction (including node); arising in the A-V junction, the impulse ascends to the atria and descends to the ventricles, each at varying speeds depending on site of the pacemaker. Synonym: A-V junctional rhythm, nodal bradycardia, nodal rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta rhythm | Brain waves in the electroencephalogram which have a frequency below 3 1/2 per second. They are typical in deep sleep, in infancy, and in serious brain disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |
| systolic gallop rhythm | An obsolete term for extra sounds, usually clicks, heard during systole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diurnal rhythm | Occurring during the day. (18 Nov 1997) |
| idiojunctional rhythm | An independent rhythm, the ventricles being under control of the A-V node (A-V junction). Synonym: idiojunctional rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idionodal rhythm | An independent rhythm, the ventricles being under control of the A-V node (A-V junction). Synonym: idiojunctional rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
