What's the difference between paroxysmal arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation?

---

I've done some research on both of these but they just seem the same to me. What's the difference? Which is worse? How do you treat them? Are either caused genetically?
A paroxysmal arrhythmia is just any kind of arrhythmia that comes and goes--atrial fibrillation can be paroxysmal. Atrial fibrillation is a specific arrhythmia where your atria don't contract, they just sort of quiver. Atrial fibrillation can be treated with medication, ablation, or surgery. Sometimes it requires anticoagulation as well.  (+ info)

What does EEG report "Dominance of responsive 10 to 11 cps alpha rhythm. No focal or paroxysmal changes" mean?

---

My bf had a EEG test. The report says "Dominance of responsive 10 to 11 cps alpha rhythm. No focal or paroxysmal changes are recorded." What does this mean?

He is probably suffering from Passive aggressive personality disorder. He has all the symptoms (I know it well).

Please help me. Thank you.

How long does it take for a blood clot to form during paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?

---

I suspect you are wondering about anticoagulation therapy (taking Coumadin aka Warfarin). Although I am not sure anyone knows for certain, it is probably a fair guess to assume that a clot could form as quickly as blood would clot under other circumstances - 10 to 13 seconds. The primary mechanism is due to blood pooling, so the actual time is probably somewhat more than a simple prothrobin time.

With anticoagulation the amount of time before clotting is significantly extended. Study after study has demonstrated that the risk for stroke is about seven percent per year for those with AFib over age 65. With anticoagulation the risk is less than two percent per year. The clear indication is less pronounced for those under age 65, but PAF is more of a concern than straight Afib for potential stroke risk and for needing anticoagulation treatment.

I hope this helped. Good luck  (+ info)

Who knows what about Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia?

---

My doctor thinks I have it and I've been reading on-line, but....
Does anybody know (or can anybody help me find) anything about the frequency of 'attacks'? Other little things like that.
The occurrence of paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, also known as supra-ventricular tachycardia and paroxysmal supra-ventricular tachycardia (PSVT) like all rhythms of the heart is under the influence of nervous system control, the inherent properties of the individual heart and to some extent the external environment. Frequency therefore is generally erratic, sporadic and variable and depends on interaction of the above factors. It is likely to be more frequent with stress, anxiety or under the effect of uppers such as caffeine or nicotine. Underlying heart disease may also have an effect as may the presence of other medications being taken. Try Googgling under the above terms or the eponym PSVT. Also try Supraventricular tachycardia in Wikipedia altho its a bit technical.  (+ info)

paroxysmal atrial tachycardia while smoking marijuana; will that kill me?

---

Well, I smoke marijuana, and I have a heart condition called "paroxysmal atrial tachycardia". Now I'm pretty sure it increases your heart rate, but you guys/girls can find more info on it if you Google it. Also I'm aware that marijuana increases your heart rate, I just don't want to have a heart attack or get seriously injured while smoking marijuana.

Anyone familiar with Paroxysmal tonic upgaze of childhood or Ouvrier-Billson syndrome?

---

I think our 16 month old son, Tyler, might have this and I am looking for more information about it or if anyone has any experience in dealing with this disorder...

Thanks
I am from London, Ontario, Canada - Do you know of a Doctor familiar with this disorder that you would recommend?
It is very difficult even to find any info about it in the Google search isn't it.

Have you brought up your concerns with the childs pediatrician ?

Perhaps the Childrens Hospital in London may have the answers you need.  (+ info)

My head trauma injury leads to paroxysmal positional vertigo?

---

I suffered from head trauma few days ago. I went back to the doctor today and he told me that was the after-effect of concussion. After that i went to another hospital and had my problem checked by a neurologist. He suggested I suffered from paroxysmal positional vertigo and he profromed The Epley maneuver. My question is could it be damage to my brain that make me lose balance and not that paroxysmal positional vertigo thing?
You suffered head trauma, are you still experiencing pain in your neck in any area? Push in and see if you find any tender areas or painful one. If you do contact me and I can help you get rid of that and that might also be a part of what you are experiencing right now.  (+ info)
