C'est quoi la fibrillation du cœur ?
La fibrillation auriculaire se manifeste lorsque l'activité électrique devient irrégulière et cause des contractions rapides et désordonnées des oreillettes. Ces contractions anormales des oreillettes peuvent causer le pompage inefficace du sang dans tout le corps.
Comment soigner la fibrillation cardiaque ?
Les médicaments anti-arythmiques les plus utilisés sont les bêtabloquants (métoprolol, propranolol) ou certains inhibiteurs calciques (vérapamil, diltiazem). Ils diminuent la fréquence des battements de cœur. Plus rarement, d'autres anti-arythmiques sont utiles : la flécaïnide, ou la propafénone.
Quelle est la différence entre la tachycardie et l'arythmie ?
Lorsque le rythme cardiaque varie sans raison apparente, il s'agit d'un trouble du rythme cardiaque, ou arythmie. À plus de 100 battements par minute au repos, on parle de tachycardie ; en dessous de 50 battements par minute, de bradycardie ; et si les contractions sont irrégulières, on parle simplement d'arythmie.

What is the difference between arrhythmia and fibrillation?
- In the true meaning of the word, a= without; the only arrhythmia is asystole which is an absence of heart beats. Fibrillation is a dysrhythmia, dys= not, characterized by fast, unfocused impulses in the atria or ventricles causing the heart tissue to quiver instead of contract uniformly.
