The less common arrhythmias in the acute cardiac care unit
- Cardiology Department, Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Prague
Acute cardiac care (ACC) is being continuously delivered by healthcare professionals to the patients with a wide spectrum of acute cardiovascular diseases or conditions. The aim of this communication is to demonstrate the diagnosis and treatment strategies of less common arrhythmias in the ACC unit. Due to didactic reasons, these arrhythmias will be divided into supraventricular and ventricular. We present three real-life cases.
