Trigeminy

Trigeminy (from Latin tri - three and Latin geminus - double) - the presence of three attacks (paroxysms) following each other (for example, three ventricular paroxysms). This is a clinical sign in which the heart rhythm is particularly regular and clear due to the presence of three different components on the ECG: sinus, atrial and premature (extrasystolic). As a rule, trigeminic complexes are replaced by some kind of arrhythmia. The interval between attacks can be less than 30 minutes (this is possible due to the good self-regulation of the sinus node during a paroxysm). Typically, the trigeminic complex appears against the background of an already existing
