An Overview Of AFib With Rapid Ventricular Response And Columbus CPR Classes

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) with rapid ventricular response (RVR) is basically a fancy name for an irregular heartbeat. When your ticker’s electrical signals aren’t working right, it can lead to a heartbeat that’s too fast or too slow. Atrial fibrillation is what doctors call this abnormal heart rhythm, and for most people, the faulty signals start in the upper two chambers of the ticker, called the atria. But the misfiring signals sometimes can also make your heart’s two bottom chambers, called ventricles, beat too quickly, this is a specific type of atrial fibrillation called AFib with rapid ventricular response.

Before talking about the symptoms and causes, learn more about the life-saving CPR procedure.
Proper application of the procedure can revive the life of a victim involved in a cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest can strike anyone irrespective of the person’s age (even children and infants). A victim would require immediate treatment for survival. For CPR training, make sure to select a certified training site, such as the AHA certified CPR Columbus in Ohio. Courses for both healthcare and non-healthcare providers are offered. Learn more about a “PALS class Columbus” and advanced cardiac life support classes:

PALS Classes- The PALS course material developed by the American Heart Association is designed to prepare healthcare providers to recognize, prevent, and treat pediatric medical emergencies. The course will help develop your pediatric assessment skills and prepare you to identify early signs of shock, respiratory emergencies, and cardiovascular emergencies in both infants and children.

ACLS Classes- An ACLS, or Advanced Cardiac Life Support class should be taken by healthcare providers who could be directly involved in treating patients suffering from cardiopulmonary arrest or cardiovascular emergencies.

Become certified at the end of the training classes after successfully passing a skills test and written exam. An AHA CPR provider card comes with a validity of 2 years which means you’ll have to go for PALS or ACLS renew certification Columbus class to extend the validity of your card.

Symptoms Of AFib With RVR:
You might feel like your ticker is beating too fast, you might also experience chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, tired and weak.

Causes:
The electrical signals make your ticker beat in a coordinated way. Firstly, it is the atria that squeeze, or contract, then the signal travels to the ventricles (lower chambers), they squeeze and pump out blood to the lungs and body. These signals don’t go out correctly in atrial fibrillation. The atria quiver instead of contracting. The flutters are so weak that they cannot send enough blood into the ventricles. In AFib with RVR, the ventricles also beat too fast. Again, these beats are very weak to push enough blood out of the heart to your lungs and body.

Your heart rate can reach more than 100 BPM in AFib with Rapid Ventricular Response while a normal heartbeat is 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM).

Risk Factors And Complications:
You are more likely to get atrial fibrillation if you have cardiovascular disease, heart failure (HF), valve disease, had a heart attack or ticker surgery. Regardless of the AFib type, all can lead to a stroke or HF. If left untreated, over time the condition can damage your heart muscle and lead to HF. But the right treatment at the right time will bring your symptoms under control and get you back into a healthy rhythm.

Treating AFib With RVR:
1.      When it comes to short-term treatment, it depends on your overall condition. If you aren’t stable, you’ll probably get
a.      drugs called beta-blockers with the most commonly used drugs being Esmolol, Metoprolol and   Propranolol
b.      or, doctors might try calcium channel blockers like Diltiazem and Verapamil.
c.       Doctors might try digoxin if neither works. It is one of the more common treatments for regular AFib.

2.      Electrical Cardioversion- Your doctor gives your ticker a shock to reset your heartbeat, and uses paddles or stick patches called electrodes onto your chest.

3.      Doctors may suggest long-term treatment with a wider choice of beta-blockers once your heart rate is under control or, they might have you try one of the calcium channel blockers -- diltiazem or verapamil.

Different Types Of Atrial Fibrillation And Columbus CPR Classes

A sign that you might have a heart condition called Atrial fibrillation (AFib) - if your ticker races rather than beats and the feeling lasts for a few minutes. It’s a common heart condition and it doesn’t so much have types as it has durations. Healthcare providers classify it by how long it lasts, or what causes it- treatment depends on this. Faulty electrical signals make your heart flutter or beat too fast when you have this condition. This abnormal rhythm stops the ticker from pumping as efficiently as it should which can slow down flow of blood, slow enough to pool and form clots. Atrial fibrillation raises your chances for a stroke and other heart complications. Some of these symptoms, such as shortness of breath or chest pain, can imitate those of a heart attack. Call your doctor or dial 911, if you aren’t sure whether you have AFib or you're having a heart attack. Some of the symptoms of A-fib include heart palpitations, confusion, dizziness, shortness of breath....
