Does a steep curve on a line graph indicate rapid or a slow rate of change?

What is the noun form of rapid?
A fast-flowing and turbulent part of the course of a river.
What is the condition of rapid and irregular or out of phase heart contractions?
fibrillation
What is the medical term meaning rapid unsynchronized contraction of the ventricles?
Ventricular fibrillation is the term for rapid irregular contractions of the ventricles. Because the contractions are unsynchronized and random, the ventricles do not pump effectively. The patient may have no palpable pulse, and the condition can be fatal.
Rapid and dangerously uncoordinated ventricular contractions are called?
Rapid and dangerously uncoordinated ventricular contractions is called ventricular fibrillation, or v-fib. During v-fib, the ventricle is not pumping blood to the body, and thus v-fib is known as a lethal dysrhythmia.
Caused by irregular contractions of the atrial myocardium?
Atrial fibrillation is caused by rapid and irregular contractions of the atrial myocardium, leading to ineffective pumping of blood from the atria. This irregular heart rhythm can increase the risk of blood clots and other complications if left untreated. Treatment options may include medication, electrical cardioversion, or catheter ablation.
What is Rapid contractions of the atria or ventricles?
Fibrillation
What is the medical term meaning Rapid but regular atrial or ventricular contractions?
The medical term for rapid but regular atrial or ventricular contractions is tachycardia.
What condition is an irregular quivering action of the atria and a very rapid ventricular heartbeat?
"atrial fibrillation" is the irregular quivering action of the atria, which in turn, may cause "palpitations" (the awareness of an irregular heartbeat) and/or "tachycardia" (rapid heartbeat).
What condition is characterized by rapid uncoordinated contractions of cardiac myocytes?
Contraction Band Necrosis
What is a myoclonic seizure?
These are characterized by rapid muscular contractions accompanied with jerks in facial and pelvic muscles.
What muscle fibers are the largest in diameter and generate the most powerful and most rapid contractions?
fast Glycolytic
What is V-fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation is a rapid, irregular and uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscles.
Produces quick muscle contractions to make heat?
Shivering is the rapid contraction and relaxation of muscles to generate heat.
