bigeminy

The continuation of this pairing of beats is an example of bigeminy.

This effect leads initially to bigeminy: regular ectopic beats following each ventricular contraction.

Irwin's heart had developed bigeminy.

Premature Ventricular beats occurring after every normal beat are termed "ventricular bigeminy"

Additionally, increased intracellular Ca may cause a type of arrhythmia called bigeminy (coupled beats), eventually ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.

Depending whether there are 1, 2, or 3 normal beats between each PVC, the rhythm is called bigeminy, trigeminy, or quadrigeminy.

It may cause AV junctional rhythm and ectopic beats (bigeminy) resulting in ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation.

Bigeminy (Latin: Bi-Two Gemini-twins) is a descriptor for a heart arrhythmia in which abnormal heart beats occur every other concurrent beat.

For example, during Apollo 15, one crew member experienced ventricular bigeminy; ventricular ectopy was reported on Skylab; and on Mir, a crew member experienced a 14-beat run of ventricular tachycardia.

Comment: I was given this drug following Persantine I was to have received 200 mgs, but after 100mg was injected, I went into bigeminy along with an extreme flushing of my neck, with tingling in my lower lip.
