Accelerated idioventricular rhythm injury. AIVR is generally considered to be a benign abnormal heart rhythm. It is typically temporary and does not require treatment. In the human heart the sinoatrial node is located at the top of the right atrium. The sinoatrial node is the first area of the heart to depolarize and to generate the action potential that leads to depolarization of the rest of the myocardium. Sinoatrial depolarization and subsequent propagation of the electrical impulse suppress the action of the lower natural pacemakers of the heart, which have slower intrinsic rates. The accelerated idioventricular rhythm occurs when depolarization rate of a
Node 4 Node 4 Node 4, also known as the Docking Hub System (DHS), is a proposed module of the International Space Station (ISS). As of 2011 NASA was considering a 40-month design and development effort for Node 4 that would result in its launch in late 2013. Node 4 would be built using the Node Structural Test Article (STA) and docked to the forward port of the Harmony module. The Structural Test Article was built to facilitate testing of ISS hardware and was intended to become Node 1. However, during construction, structural design flaws were discovered. The under-construction Node 2 was
