On physical exam, he has a regular tachycardia at 180, and monitor shows a regular, narrow-complex tachycardia. He denies chest pain. Midway through transport, he becomes less responsive, and his blood pressure drops as he starts sweating profusely.. by . Zubair. Shah, PGY-III. Research Mentor:.

Dr Reema Abhyankar, Assistant Professor, OBGY, SMBT IMS & RC. Dr Kiran Rajole, Associate Professor, OBGY, SMBT IMS & RC. Dr Suresh Patil, Consultant Cardiologist, SMBT IMS & RC. Case. Name – Mrs. XYZ. Cardiac arrhythmias are the most common cause of death in patients with a myocardial infarction or terminal heart failure. . Normal sinus rhythm is dependent on generation of an impulse in the normal sinoatrial (SA) node pacemaker and its conduction through the atrial muscle, through the atrioventricular (AV) node, through the Purkinje conduction system, to the ventricular muscle. HYPERTENSION. High BP is a trait as opposed to a specific disease and represents a quantitative rather than a qualitative deviation from the norm. . Any definition of hypertension is therefore arbitrary..
