What is Arrhythmia?
Meaning of heart arrhythmia is there in its nomenclature itself - heart beats that tend to miss the regular rhythm or in simpler terms, irregular heartbeats are classified as arrhythmic (also called dysrhythmia).

Arrhythmia is different from 'abnormal heart rate (which normally is 50-100 beats per minute). Arrhythmias can occur with a normal heart rate, as well as with heart rates that are slow (called bradyarrhythmias) or rapid (called tachyarrhythmias).

In the United States alone, more than 850,000 people are hospitalized for an arrhythmia each year (source: medicinenet).

What causes Arrhythmia?

Following are the common causes of Arrhythmia:

Some less serious causes:

• *Electrolyte imbalances in blood
  *During recovery from a heart surgery
  *It can sometimes occur in perfectly healthy hearts as well
  

Some serious causes:

• *Coronary artery disease (plaque depositions etc)
  *Changes in heart muscles or cardiomyopathy
  

What are the symptoms of Arrhythmia?
Following are the common symptoms of Arrhythmia:

• *Palpitations
  *Pounding
  *Shortness of breath
  *Dizziness
  *Fatigue
  

Diagnosis of Arrhythmia:
Arrhythmia diagnosis is easy to perform using the state of art yet simplistic and cost effective instruments. Following are various diagnostic measures:

a) ECG
b) Holter Monitoring
c) Stress Test
d) Electrophysiology study (EPS)
e) Echo Test
f) Head-up tilt table test
g) Event monitoring

Treatment of Arrhythmia:
Treatment of Arrhythmia is administered based on type and severity of Arrhythmia. It is often a combination of prescribed drugs and life style changes (or surgical intervention in severe causes).

Following two categories of drugs are often prescribed:

∆ Antiarrhythmic drugs:
Such drugs come under the category of beta-blockers and help in controlling the heart rate

∆ Anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy:
These drugs are aimed at reducing the risk of clot formation (and hence a stroke). Warfarin, Aspirin and Pradaxa are the common prescriptions in this category.

Lifestyle changes that are must for an Arrhythmic person:

1. Limited alcohol intake
2. Quitting smoking
3. Limited caffeine intake
4. No intake of stimulating substances (cough syrups and medicine for cold are also stimulating substances!)

A News that triggered the need for this thread:
LaMarcus Aldridge, an American professional basketball player, playing for San Antonio Spurs of NBA, had to go for a leave of indefinite period after experiencing heart Arrhythmia. This has been on news all around and has suddenly lead to a surge of queries about Arrhythmia. He is currently undergoing tests to ascertain the severity of the event. Best of health wished his way.

Hello there! I am preparing a phD project and need some advices about the Methodology. I want to test how modification of certain (characterised) transcription factor could improve the natural compund's yield in plans in vitro systems where the presence and activity of this TF has been demonstrated. However, I do not know exactly which could be the right approach to optimize the yield throughout TF-modification. Is this related to different envioronmental conditions that we can vary in order to asses the in vitro cells response (production)? or is more related to transformation activities in these cell cultures (e.g. to insert 'again' this TF in the cell cultures? Any advice, explanation and reference is welcome! Thank you very much in advance.

Sir,

I'm getting about 51.69 marks in GATE BT paper, could you please predict my expected GATE score and percentile.

With that score will I get calls from IITs, NUS and Technical University of Munich.

Thanks in advance.

Hey,
I have performed three experiments on gene expression studies of drug treated and untreated samples of lung cancer cell lines to quantify the expression profile of 11 genes with 1 reference gene using quantitative real time PCR. This was performed with three biological replicates and two technical replicates for each biological replicate. I have observed a general trend in the regulation of the genes. However, these three experiments were performed on three different plates and so I would like to know how to compile the results from all the three experiments to reach a proper conclusion.
How do I perform a statistical analysis of the data?

Can someone tell me how many questions should be attempted in oces life sciences so as to get selected for interview.. Can someone also share their interview experience ???? Also are there any questions on aptitude and chemistry in oces life sciences ?

Which books should be referred for csir net jrf preparation ??? Also I would like to know whether these competitive exams such as net or dbt help in getting a job in research institutions such as BARC ???
