A continual recycling of electrical waves through the myocardium is called
A)circus rhythm.
B)atrial flutter.
C)asystole.
D)SA node block.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Circus rhythm is a type of reentrant arrhythmia in which an electrical impulse continuously circulates through a loop of myocardial tissue, leading to a rapid and sustained heart rate. Atrial flutter is a type of arrhythmia in which the atria contract rapidly and regularly but out of sync with the ventricles. Asystole is a complete absence of electrical activity in the heart, and SA node block refers to a disruption in the electrical impulses originating from the sinoatrial node. Circus rhythm is the only choice that describes a continual recycling of electrical waves through the myocardium.
