The formula for exponential growth of a variable x at the (positive or negative) growth rate r, as time t goes on in discrete intervals (that is, at integer times 0, 1, 2, 3, ...), is. where x0 is the value of x at time 0.
Ventricular fibrillation is disorderly and irregular electrical activity in the heartâs ventricles. A heart affected by VFib âflutters.â These rapid beats prevent the heart from pumping adequate amounts of blood into the body. VFib is an emergency situation.
Ventricular hypertrophy is thickening of the walls of a ventricle of the heart. Although left ventricular hypertrophy is more common, right ventricular hypertrophy, as well as concurrent hypertrophy of both ventricles can also occur. Ventricular hypertrophy can result from a variety of conditions, both adaptive and maladaptive. For example, it occurs in what is regarded as a physiologic, adaptive process in pregnancy in response to increased blood volume; but can also occur as a consequence of v
