taquicardia ectópica auricular
Scope note: Latidos cardíacos anormalmente rápidos que se originan de uno o más focos automáticos (marcapasos latente) en el ATRIO CARDÍACO pero siempre lejos del NODO SINOATRIAL. A diferencia del mecanismo de reentrada, la taquicardia automática se acelera y se enlentece gradualmente. El episodio se caracteriza por una FRECUENCIA CARDÍACA entre 135 y menos de 200 latidos por minuto y con una duración de 30 segundos o más.

Scope note: Abnormally rapid heartbeats originating from one or more automatic foci (nonsinus pacemakers) in the HEART ATRIUM but away from the SINOATRIAL NODE. Unlike the reentry mechanism, automatic tachycardia speeds up and slows down gradually. The episode is characterized by a HEART RATE between 135 to less than 200 beats per minute and lasting 30 seconds or longer.
