4 Arrhythmias
4.1 Overview
The term "arrhythmia" refers to any change from the normal sequence of electrical
impulses of the heart, resulting in abnormal heart contractions. Arrhythmias can cause
the heart to pump less effectively. Some arrhythmias are so brief (for example, a
temporary pause or premature beat) that the overall heart rate or rhythm isn't greatly
affected. But if arrhythmias persist for some time, they may cause severe pain,
unconsciousness, or death.
AMPS-1 offers a wide range of arrhythmia simulations to test the function of patient
monitors. AMPS-1 can also be used in training clinicians in arrhythmia recognition.
