Automatism Nomotopic

Nomotopic automatism is a motor automatism of the heart that occurs during the activity of a nomotopic pacemaker and is characterized by regular contractions of the heart muscle.

The nomotopic pacemaker is located in the sinus node of the heart and generates an electrical impulse that travels throughout the heart. This impulse is the main rhythm of the heart and ensures regular contraction of the heart muscle. However, in some cases, the nomotopic rhythm may be disrupted and nomotopic automatism occurs, which is characterized by a higher heart rate than usual.

Nomotopic automatism can be caused by various reasons, such as coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, anemia, hypothyroidism and other diseases. It may manifest as tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), bradycardia (rare heartbeat), or arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm).

To treat nomotopic automatism, it is necessary to determine the cause of its occurrence and carry out appropriate treatment of the underlying disease. If the cause is a heart rhythm disorder, then medications may be prescribed to normalize the heart rhythm. Lifestyle changes may also be recommended, such as stopping smoking, reducing alcohol consumption and eating a healthy diet.

In general, nomotopic automatism is a common heart rhythm disorder and can be caused by many diseases. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor promptly and carry out appropriate treatment.

Nomotopic automatism is the generation of myocardial excitation impulses that occurs under the influence of the pacemaker - a functional accumulation of cardiomyocytes. From the outside it looks like rhythmic contractions of the heart muscle that occur independently without external stimulation. The study of this process makes it possible to clarify many important issues in the physiology, pathology and pharmacology of the myocardium. On the basis of normal physiology, the concept of cardiac rhythm (cardiac rhythmograms) was formulated, which makes it possible to systematize heart rate, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of cardiac contraction. By measuring using a polyvector electrocardiograph (PEGA) and analyzing deviations from the norm, one or another heart disease can be diagnosed. In neurophysiology and cardiology, this phenomenon was studied in the 20th century and is still being studied by scientists. The processes inside the human body are difficult to describe in simple words; many of them are unique to humans and require careful study and analysis.
