Question

When the ventricles are no longer acting as a syncytium and can't pump blood, they are in ____.

Group of answer choices

ventricular tachycardia

fibrillation

bradycardia

AV node block

Expert Solution
Step 1

The conditions where the heart of a normal person is unable to function properly is called as heart disease or disorder. They may occur due to lack of proper blood flow from the blood vessels, arrhythmias or heart rhythm problems and any form of congenital heart disease. 

Step 2

ventricular tachycardia: When the heart starts beating abnormally fast i.e. more than 100 beats per minute it is called ventricular tachycardia.

fibrillation: It is the problem with the heart's rhythm due to rapid or erratic electrical impulses that impacts the pumping action of the heart chambers.

bradycardia: When the heart is too slow ie. less than 60 beats per minutes due to ageing or any other disorder it is called bradycardia.

AV node block: When the signal travelling from SA nodes to the ventricles gets delayed or completely blocked in the AV node it is called an AV node block.
