âPrimary care physicians fall into [one of two categories]: family medicine doctors and internal medicine doctors,â explains Saju Mathew, M.D., a primary care physician at Piedmont Physicians Group. âWeâre all primary care physicians, but the biggest difference is internal medicine doctors are like adult pediatricians.â.
Please describe what type of heart rhythm disorder you have. I am a 44 year old female with paroxysmal, atrial fibrillation and bradycardia. I also have high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, asthma, and ischemic stroke. I wonder if an inherited heart condition started at birth can cause some of these conditions that are life threatening.
There are only slight differences between these arrhythmias. slide 1 of 5. About Arrhythmias An arrhythmia is an abnormal heart beat. Two groups of arrhythmia are bradycardia and tachycardia. Bradycardia is a heart rate slower than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Tachycardia is a heart rate faster than 100 bpm. Two forms of tachycardia are sinus tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia. There is little difference between supraventricular tachycardia and sinus tachycardia.
