Accident ischémique transitoireUn accident ischémique transitoire (AIT) ou ischémie cérébrale transitoire (ICT) ou ischémie aiguë transitoire (IAT) est une ischémie (baisse de la perfusion sanguine) d'une partie du cerveau, des rétines, ou de la moelle épinière, responsable d'un déficit neurologique transitoire. Le plus souvent, ce phénomène est d'apparition soudaine et régresse en moins d'une heure. La souffrance des cellules touchées est insuffisante pour constituer un infarctus (mort des cellules). De ce fait, l' est normale et il n'y a pas de séquelles.
Third-degree atrioventricular blockThird-degree atrioventricular block (AV block) is a medical condition in which the electrical impulse generated in the sinoatrial node (SA node) in the atrium of the heart can not propagate to the ventricles. Because the impulse is blocked, an accessory pacemaker in the lower chambers will typically activate the ventricles. This is known as an escape rhythm. Since this accessory pacemaker also activates independently of the impulse generated at the SA node, two independent rhythms can be noted on the electrocardiogram (ECG).
Sinus bradycardiaSinus bradycardia is a sinus rhythm with a reduced rate of electrical discharge from the sinoatrial node, resulting in a bradycardia, a heart rate that is lower than the normal range (60–100 beats per minute for adult humans). The decreased heart rate can cause a decreased cardiac output resulting in symptoms such as lightheadedness, dizziness, hypotension, vertigo, and syncope. The slow heart rate may also lead to atrial, junctional, or ventricular ectopic rhythms. Bradycardia is not necessarily problematic.
